The Deima ( Russian Дейма , German Deime , Lithuanian Deimena ) is a 37 km long river in the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad . It branches off from the Pregel near Gwardeisk (Tapiau) , flows from there to Polessk (Labiau) and flows into the Curonian Lagoon . The name of the river goes back to the Indo-European root * dei , which means "to flow continuously forward".
Shortly before the confluence with the Haff, the Polesski kanal (Großer Friedrichsgraben) branches off in Polessk , connecting the Deime with the Nemonin (Nemonien) . This is connected to the Matrossowka (Gilgestrom) , a left arm of the Memel , via the Primorski Canal (Seckenburg Canal) .
