Area controlled by Russia in between Germany and Poland.

Can anyone tell me the history of the small plot of land that seems to be a part of Russia in between Poland and the Baltic States? You can see it on the map I linked below.

It's not between Germany and Poland, but between Poland and Lithuania.

There's already another discussion topic about it which has some good information. It's Kaliningrad, formerly East Prussia.
