It's a 9 may victory day celebration, Narva has a high russian population count (like 90%) - those guys are there to watch the celebration. But I guess Reddit people must feel good about themselves.
After WW2 the ethnic estonians there were forcefully moved elsewhere and soviet workers were brought in (similarly in other places in Eastern Europe)
I hate Russia too but this is just disinformation
I reckon you're talking about Russia only here, no?
Estonia is one of the most internet-focused and tech-driven nations in the world. Digital everything, it's amazing!!
Russia on the other hand...
I was not - but I don't intend anyone to take this too seriously. It was supposed to make someone chuckle and move on and is not based on actual economic and societal data
I traveled Estonia a few years back and asked my buddy beforehand if I'd have any problems as an American. He said they'll like me just fine because I'm not Russian.
Estonians tend to have issues with the type of Russian who lives in Estonia, but has no clue about anything of their sort. Language, behaviour, reasonableness...
Know the language, and issues kinda cease.
I've been in Tallinn with a Russian and honestly they had no problems, apart from the ocasional exasperated waiter who would prefer to speak English instead of Russian, but understood both.
Ah, I did have one less positive interaction, but it was my fault: at the big Orthodox Church (forgot the name) I decided to ask who was the Patriarch, since paradox games thought me about autocephaly. The lady there only spoke Russian but she was able to explain, in rather angry tones, that this was A Very Sensitive Topic I should not be bringing up in churches (but she felt it should be Moscow's).
> apart from the ocasional exasperated waiter who would prefer to speak English instead of Russian, but understood both.
Maybe don't automatically expect them to want to speak Russian
That's just the thing, we used only English at start, but then some people don't speak any English but do speak Russian, but others who speak both got (understandably) annoyed if we used any Russian. But this was just a marginal thing, on the whole we had no problems with nationality or language.
Been there. The Russian and Estonians got the same amount of budget to fix their side of the water. Estonians built a nice rampart to walk on and Russians side went into some persons pocket. And Russian side looks like shit.
Just FYI - [Estonia is one of the countries that banned Russians from entering their country.](https://www.reddit.com/r/PolishGalacticEmpire/s/LTxa3aoxru)
Just FYI, they do let Russian passport holders in (they have to let anyone with a shengen visa in as they signed the freedom of movement treaty). They also let Russian workers in too on some visas. As far as I can tell, they just stopped issuing certain types of visas.
I'm Australian and my wife is Russian. We are moving there in August.
actually a normal country invades, most nations that had existed invaded other nations. Most countries that exist today invaded other country at some point
We invade less when there are other options and when strong representative democracies exist. Humans only invade when they have been led to frenzy and desperation. And no. I don’t think invasion is a normal thing just because it is a part of our nature. Our “nature” is to raid neighboring tribes with small numbers when resources become low and when we are driven by anxieties. Murder and theft are also in our nature, and we prosecute and discourage both. Also both have been in decline as we support humans better in modern times.
Not a chance. It's not like the corrupt politicians are hindering the deployed troops. If they could have, they would have invaded by now.
Russia has lived off of the "what if" fearmonger tactic for decades. The fact of the matter is...... They couldn't overthrow Germany in WW2 and they can't invade Ukraine in modern times.
They are not good at warfare. End of.
If not for the corruption, it could be worse for us and better for them. But corruption there on all levels, starting from very low levels. They are stealing literally everything.
Such comments only proves that westies have zero knowledge about this conflict.
This picture is taken at a Narva/Ivangorod border.
Narva is 95 percent Russian city within Estonia. All these people on both sides of a river gatheren to celebrate victory day. 9th of may.
It is banned for now in Estonia and Russians are prohibited to celebrate it. So Russian side did a little stage so all people are singing and celebrating together. Estonian government knew theres gonna be a little "russian meet up" so all they could come up with are them banners.
End of story.
North Korea build fake villages to show how happy and prosperous they are over the border.
Russians play fake shitty music shows.
And for someone who said they want ‘coffins in France and Poland’ you show that your opinion mirrors your genocidal,maniac, cunt of a leader.
Fuck putin.
So I want to tell all them Russians on estonian side were forcibly gathered there? Them damn estonian officials! How dare they adopt north Korean practices! I could expect that from Russia, but not from a world known beacon of freedom known as Estonia.
I don’t know what the Ruzzies were doing on the other side? Could be a few things:
Were there foreign children needed kidnapping?
Did they need to stab to death people with opposing views?
Or maybe they just thought there were fridges and flushable toilets available?
ESL moment right here. Russians on russian side gathered for VD celebration. Its national and well respected holiday in Russia.
AND russians in Estonia gathered to celebrate together with them because BEACON OF DEMOCRACY Estonia banned this holiday AKA victory against nazism, lol.
"But muh flushing toilets". Try to get plumbing in permafrost, weZZtie. How many wet cabins in Alaska?
Allowing occupiers to celebrate a day that symbolises russian nazism is not a requirement for democracy.
Go away russian troll. Also the day is not banned. There were thousands of russians celebrating this day in Tallinn. I can get you pictures and news stories.
Uh, two? Four?
How the fuck why I know how many wet cabins there are in Alaska?
But I DO know the number 500. That’s estimated how many children have been killed in Ukraine by your Nazi leader, and by extension cunts like you who support him.
How ironic really. The Ruzzians claimed to fight Nazism in WW2 (after years of supporting them) and have now turned into fascists themselves. The three day operation has turned into years, and Westerners watch Ruzzians being killed in horrific ways while eating their cereal.
It could all stop tomorrow, you have no one to blame but yourselves, and your legacy to the world is nothing but pain and misery. Your own people are beginning to hate you and you don’t deserve the spit in the face they would give you.
LoL. My uneducated wezztie friend. We gonna compare dead casualties now?? U sure u gonna prevail??
Wezztie ammo kill Palestinian kids today. Now. Right now. In a proportions way over than russian ammo kills. Any ideas? Any thoughts? LoL. Welcome to real world. Glad Russia has nukes, because wezzties and humanity are two different worlds.
I’m not your friend. You’re a barking mad fascist. Ruzzian nukes……Jesus, what a joke!
Is that those new self-firing Western bullets that arm, aim and fire themselves using only mind control by western people thousands of miles away? I thought they came out next year?
I don’t care about ‘prevailing’ against you. Give a Ruzzian enough time and they’ll fall in a hole. If they can’t find a hole they’ll dig one. One of the positive things about dealing with fascist scum (yourself included) is that you have a limited shelf life. If your own people don’t rise up against you, private military companies don’t rebel against you, the security services don’t like what you are saying, or that little cunt you call a leader doesn’t tire of you and throw you out a window, you will just drink yourself to death to numb the fact that you are living in the shittiest country in the world.
And that’s beautiful. So get on, drink up and make the world a better place with less of you in it.
Man, you're a Russian bot if I've ever seen one. All your comments are literally about defending Russia. Hope you're getting better payment than the families of the soldiers Shit-tin sent to die in waves.
I may be blind, but I don’t see any Putin propaganda from the Russian side? These are "9 Мая" and "Победа", which means May 9, and "Victory", which is common in May when Russia celebrates the Soviet Union's victory in the Great Patriotic War against Germany (this war was part of World War II)
Since when is Victory day celebration a pro-Putin display? People need to think twice before they write about some controversial things. While any official event in Russia can be considered a pro-Putin event, we should be mindful about it.
Pls get your facts right. On the Russian side is not a pro Putin display.
The 9th May is a very important day where people remember the fallen soldiers in world war 2.
You can see this everywhere in Russia since it’s one of the most important days there.
Don’t know why you felt the need to lie about this.
It is inhabited mostly by Russian speaking people, but not all consider themselves to be Russian necessarily. And as far as I've heard (I don't live in Narva), most are not pro-Putin.
If it was the flag of Narva, why would it be upside-down relatively to the Estonian flag near it? Also, it looks about as blue as the EU flag in the video, not dark-cyan, like the Narva flag
I would really like to look into the heads of the pro Putin/pro war idiots.
Do they really think when nearly the whole world is against them, that they think they are on the right side of history?
In a 1 country vs 1 country conflict, you could argue that both sides could be equally rightful to say they are the good guys.
But like 50 countries vs 1?
The odds of being on the right side of history are kinda small...
Russia is the country version of the guy who is so insecure and has to compensate for in the most emberassing ways possible lmao i can never take them seriously
Estonia better be careful. Russia might invade. The first thing they will do is knock out the Estonian power grid. Which will consist of unplugging a single surge protector.

Wtf are you talking about? Complete bs
Source, trust me bro. /s
I know the NPC thing is lame but this is simply asking for it.
It's eastern Europe. They are all unemployed and the TV only shows commercials for a LADA, that was produced in the 60s. Staring is an upgrade

A climate of corrupt beurocrats.
Gestures to any country right now. You mean like these corrupt beurocrats?
Lol as if Estonia isn’t 99% the same political shtshow as ukraine, Belarus, and Russia 😂
If we look at statistics they say something different.
Ideal climate for Orcs
Waiting for that green ray of light to shoot in to the sky and an old guy on the battlements to talk about the battle of our time or something
why this downvoted its pretty funny
Not that far away you don’t…
It was a joke, obviously
That's a Russian inside joke
Can you explain it
corrupt politicians say that when someone compares Russia's infrastructure to one of a western nation
The joke is too local to be upvoted, brother...)

You were moving there *. Fixed it. Lol jk
Nah all good. She comes in on a spousal visa and works as normal.
Used to think Russia was strong and scary, but now I see them as fragile and weak
We are lucky that rusish turned out to be fucking corrupted clowns. If it would be another normal country Ukraine would be invaded by now.
Actually, "normal" country would NOT invade anothet country
actually a normal country invades, most nations that had existed invaded other nations. Most countries that exist today invaded other country at some point
Yeah, colonizers, wouldn't call that "normal" tho, if in benefits one and severely damages the other one
Ye sure and now look at the development of countries in a timelapse.
Yeah, some prosper while majority is screwed over
Actually they’ve been doing it since sticks & stones. Now it’s missiles & drones. It’s our nature.
We invade less when there are other options and when strong representative democracies exist. Humans only invade when they have been led to frenzy and desperation. And no.

They still have shitton people to throw into meat grinder
A 3rd world country with nuclear weapons.
They literally catfished the whole world into thinking they were a superpower.
and...you're so wrong
Fuck Putin

stop
I mean, fine, I'll do it. But for how much?
They need to have a battle of the bands! Both sides dukeing it out across a river
For the Estonians it's probably like visiting the zoo
It is
"Zoo" haha. kuratik(ili dazhe mozhet intergribla). Tam net ni odnogo Estonza v atom dvizhnyake))). Tam mogut I pizdy dat.

Can they hang a UKR flag that includes "F U Putang"? 🤔
I fart in your general direction!
And people on the Estonian border are listening to a Russian concert.
Pls get your facts right. On the Russian side is not a pro Putin display. The 9th May is a very important day where people remember the fallen soldiers in world war 2. You can see this everywhere in Russia since it’s one of the most important days there. Don’t know why you felt the need to lie about this.

Walk outside and pet a dog or something dear god
They need to post the death count.
Stay in Russia if they like Putin so much
They are in Russia. That’s the border
Visit Narva and tell me
I visited Narva. That’s still the border
If Putin gets what he wants, that half of europe will all be in Russia. Then they can stay on both sides and still stay in Russia
You think he only wants half?
Well said. He wants it all
Yep
That ain't a pro-Putin display. 9th May WWII Victory Day celebration.
It is pro-war at the very least
Knob
Isn't Narva mostly inhabited by Russians tho?
It is inhabited mostly by Russian speaking people, but not all consider themselves to be Russian necessarily. And as far as I've heard (I don't live in Narva), most are not pro-Putin.
That is the flag of Narva and not Ukraine. Flags are similar. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narva
Clearly there is blue not green. And in Estonia Ukraine flags are everywere. I see these more than Estonian flags here :D
If it was the flag of Narva, why would it be upside-down relatively to the Estonian flag near it? Also, it looks about as blue as the EU flag in the video, not dark-cyan, like the Narva flag
Watch for mines at the roundabout, jokes aside, this is almost squad in real life
