  1. In #Estonia, the city councils of the majority Russian towns of #Narva and #Kohtla-Järve have elected new municipal leaders amid a tussle for power. In Narva, the city council's pro-Russia chair was ousted, while in Kohtla-Järve, a new #mayor was elected with support from a fringe pro-Russia party.

  5. I've just returned from the 63rd Estonian hamfest, which took place near Narva-Jõesuu this year. Although the Russian border is only about 200 km from my office, I haven't been there lately.

    I shouldn't say that, but I'm feeling nostalgic about those places – little has changed there in the last 15 years, whereas the constant and rapid changes in the rest of the country have somehow worn me down.

    The picture shows Ivangorod on the other side of the border, taken from the vast Kreenholm cloth factory grounds (in Narva).

    When driving along the border, you don't need a map — you can intuitively tell which way the border runs. It's hard to explain. The atmosphere...

  8. In #Estonia, the country's northeastern border city of #Narva now has two rival city council chairmen and two rival mayors. An opposition-led city council meeting elected a new chairman and a new #mayor, while the incumbent chairman and mayor disputed the legality of the meeting.

  18. "In recent weeks, a cluster of anonymous Russian-language social media accounts has called for the takeover of the Estonian city of Narva and described it as “Russian land.”

    For its mayor, this fake story has become a real problem."

  20. ‘People’s Republic’ rumours: Does the Estonian city of Narva really want to join Russia?

    The Estonian city of Narva is on Europe’s eastern border, right next to Russia.

    Recently there have been online rumours that some locals want to secede from Estonia and join Russia.

    What’s really happening?

  22. Commenting on media reports about #Narva #Estonia separatist movements claiming they want to go to #Russia, Estonian journalist Toomas Hendrik Ilves produced this comparison[^1]

    Average monthly salary in Narva: €1472, across the river in Ivangorod: 200-400 USD, i.e. 180-360€. In Estonia: quality education, healthcare.

    Estonian basic pension, 817€/mo. Russia 240€

    In Ivangorod, young men get sent to fight in Ukraine. In Estonia young men and women go study in Italy under the EU Erasmus programme

    Estonia: #2 in freedom of the press. Russia: #171 out of 180 countries.

    All permanent residents of Estonia, i.e. everyone in Narva enjoy free movement within the EU, i.e. you can live and work anywhere in the European Union. In Russia, well, there’s always Kamchatka.

    This is all very rational and questions the sanity of any person that would really call for Narva to join Russia. The obvious problem here is in how many people actually think rationally in the area in question?

    There’s an excellent book by Vorotyntseva & Kazansky “How Ukraine lost Donbas?” that shows all the complexity of the situation in #Donbas before 2014.[^2]

    Technically, Donbas was richer than many Ukrainian and Russian regions in vicinity, at least on macroeconomic scale. But that’s where macro reality starts to diverge from the physical reality on the ground, because Donbas also concentrated all the typical problems of Russia & Ukraine of that time - huge income disparities and mafia controlling most state & private enterprises.

    On top of that, add Kyiv practically giving up any attempts to regain political control over the whole Donbas for years, tolerating the local ‘elites’ who they believed aren’t a threat. Yet, Russians clearly found a vector on these elites that somehow bypassed their purely financial motives.

    Can’t speak of Narva, so just adding this comment here for possible discussion from people who know more.

  24. Narva, Estonia is seeing the beginning of a Donbas -style information campaign:

    People ”supporting the Russian world” are being called to take up arms, and setup ”Narva People’s Republic”.

    It’s on, people. Russia is eyeing at another former colony in eastern Europe.

    Thanks, Trump! 🤬

  28. Die #NARVA Typ 2234 aus dem #Arnstädter Taschenlampenwerk war eine der bekanntesten #Taschenlampen der #DDR. Mit ihr verbinde ich auch selbst noch Erinnerungen, da sie bei uns eigentlich fast jedes Kind besaß. Ursprünglich als #Signalleuchte für die #NVA & #Reichsbahn konzipiert, waren sie auch für nur 4,-M frei verkäuflich & recht verbreitet. Der Clow dieser ansonsten schlichten Lampe sind die 3 einschiebbaren Farbfilter.
    Die Beschreibung habe ich unter 🏳️‍🌈 rk7.de/tv 🏳️‍🌈 erstelltt. 😊
