Exactly. The German population of Koningsberg, which was about 400,000 people was obliterated in WWII. The surviving German population was moved into labour camps before being sent to live in the new German borders. They simply renamed the city, so it sounded more Russian, and moved in 400,000 Russian citizens over the course of about 3 years.
