The old operator name Калининградский Железная Дорога is still in use in a few places around Kaliningrad, see https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2smu.
The new operator name Калининградская Железная Дорога is not used anywhere yet, see https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2smv.
I agree Калининградская Железная Дорога seems to be the correct name looking at https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B4%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B7%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%B4%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%B0 and https://kzd.rzd.ru.
So after merging, the OpenStreetMap data should be updated to use the new name.

Калининградский железная дорога is an invalid phrase in Russian language. All adjectives must be in feminine gender because "дорога" is feminine. "Калининградский" is masculine.

Yes, the reason that she the wrong spelling was in the operators file, was that is it used in OSM data. The data and tagging in OSM is always leading, and the OpenRailwayMap will adapt to changing data.
So now that the operator name is changed, ideally the OSM data is also retagged with the correct name, so the list of operators matches the OSM data again.

Thank you for your contribution, and also the donation!

Having edited a lot of railways in Serbia I realized that they mostly have
operator=Железнице Србијеthat is wrong since 2015 when the company was split according to the EU Fourth Railway Package. The company managing the infrastructure is called Инфраструктура Железнице Србије. I'm reluctant to batch rename until this is rendered properly here.Apart from that Željeznice Republike Srpske operate in Republika Srpska that is a constituent entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, not Serbia, so I moved the railway operator accordingly. Also fix a small mistake in some Russian operator name.
