Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University (IKBFU; Russian: Балтийский федеральный университет имени Иммануила Канта) is a public university located in the exclave of Kaliningrad, Russia.
Following World War II, the city of Königsberg was transferred to Soviet Union according to the Potsdam Agreement, and the city was renamed Kaliningrad in 1946. The University of Konigsberg, commonly known as Albertina, was closed and the remaining German population were expelled, by the terms of the Potsdam Agreement. Today, the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University claims to maintain the traditions of the Albertina.
