Description
Residents in the Estonian town of Narva, which sits just across the Narva River from Russia, watch as a Russian Victory Day concert takes places facing in their direction. Around 96 percent of Narva's 56,000 people are Russian speakers and the town has become a focal point in tensions between Moscow and the West. "I think it's a provocation," says Anatoly Fedoryuk, a 31-year-old Estonian, speaking Russian. 78-year-old Alexander Anissimov disagrees. "We are Russian people here," he says, "I do not think that this is a confrontation." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
