A new town square is being built on the river banks of Russia’s bordertown Ivangorod which will be used to show propaganda events to citizens in Estonia’s Narva.
For the last two years, Russia has organized propaganda concerts on the banks of the Narva River on May 9, the day World War Two ended.
Russia commemorates May 9 as Victory Day, when it says it liberated Europe from the Nazis in 1945. However, for Estonia, it was the start of a second Soviet occupation that only ended in 1991.
The temporary screens and performances could be seen across the water in Narva, Estonia’s border town.
The city has now decided to create a more permanent place for performances by building a new city square next to the Ivangorod Fortress. A statue of Russian Tsar Ivan III is being considered.
