Posters, screens, flags and other displays were visible on both sides of the Narva River Saturday.

The river marks the Estonian-Russian border, and May 9 carries different significance on either side: For Estonians, it is Europe Day, while in Russia the date is marked as Victory Day.

Narva Museum earlier in the week announced plans to again display a banner featuring Vladimir Putin as a war criminal, and this has gone ahead.

Across the river in the Russian Federation, authorities in Ivangorod have again set up a screen facing the Estonian bank of the Narva River. This screen will be broadcasting this year’s stripped-down parade in Red Square.

Narva is also hosting its own Europe Day concert in Narva city center Saturday, to be attended by Prime Minister Kristen Michal.
