I've read that there was some sort of proposal to sell Kaliningrad back to a newly unified Germany following the collapse of the Cold War.
The German response was more or less "we've gotta spend so much money fixing what we already took back in and now you want us to take THAT too?".
What if Russia really started pushing exchanges like this to get more aid, trade concessions, loans, direct cash transfers, etc?
Japan and Russia have a territorial dispute over the Southern Kurils for example.
