Must praise You. Nice video.
Greetings from Canada. Great video . Thank you. I have three questions here: 1. What is the name of the station with soldiers/war carved on the pilars? 2. Could you please share the name of the hostel you stayed in? 3. Any word of advice? I thank you for your time and video. Best wishes.
So happy you visited the Eastern part of Estonia!
Ah, you went to Estonia April 22-23 of this year, for sure... No other days in April had snow as far as I remember! Very lucky 😃
I miss being there!
Sillamäe was not a town of miners. Sillamäe, like Paldiski, Klooga and the Estonian islands, was a closed town during the Soviet era, where Estonians had no business. You could only get there with a special permit from the KGB. Sillamäe had a uranium enrichment industry. Sillamäe was the first in the USSR to produce nuclear fuel. By the way, uranium was also mined near Sillamäe. Today, various earth metals are produced there, which is second only to China in the world. In Paldiski, on the other hand, the nuclear submarine training center of the USSR was located with a nuclear reacto
You seem to be confusing Russia with the Soviet Union as unison "one". Many Russians including younger people hate communism and bolshevism since it tried to destroy Russian identity. Also, the memorials to germans are also in Russia, Netherlands and other countries dedicated to regular german citizens drafted to fight for Hitler. And yes, Yeltsin is popular with younger Russians since WE also got independence from this backward ideology. Russia is 1000+ years old, Soviet is 70 years. From here, I just want peace in Europe and the world. Great video and music.
1:52 You mean, "Liberated Estonia".
Yes - liberated - from The Liberators !

Not surprised about Olympic facilities being abandoned typically happens once the events are held the facilities are never used again. The Sydney Olympics in my home country held more recently after the events were held the facilities were bulldozed for real estate value. Estonia, though, by my understanding, doesn't have the industry they once did combined with government corruption is a very run-down country with a lot of neglect.
i was on that bridge for 8 hours straight. i hate how long it takes...
Stateless people (with so-called gray passports) and a large concentration of Russian-speaking minority near the border is a sad aftermath of unjust soviet annexation and 50 years long brutal occupation and exploitation. Soviets' methods were about the same in all the occupied territories -- eliminate those who are self-reliant and enslave the rest, ridiculing their indigenous culture and appearing as bringers of freedom and prosperity. Such wide-scale architectural devastation and massive destruction of nature by large scale mining luckily did not make it to the most of Estonia, but it takes probably at least another 50 years for whole Eastern Europe to heal from such drastic wounds as pictured in Your clip. World must remember -- never again! 😥
The summer weather in Estonia looks nice!
Estonia was occupied by Red Russia 50 years. They killed approximately 90 000 people there.
estonia got the most money from the soviet union
@@fayereaganlover how much your live cost?
During the years of independence, industry was destroyed. In percentage terms, the population decreased by 15.3%. I won’t say anything about gray passports - banal Nazism
population decreased yeah..but do You forgot these 120k russian speaking soviet soldiers with their families who emigrated back to russia after soviet union collapsed? They gave them even money to go away from Estonia. High percentage are already these people.
@@Elvajaak The most stupid foreign policy is Russophobia. Washington lapdog country is ready to destroy their own economy only to please their master - pathetic.
It is estimated that up to 10 million Russian-speaking Soviet citizens passed through here in 50 years. And the fact that Narva is a Russian-speaking Estonian city, as well as the larger settlements of Kohtla-Järve, Sillamäe and almost the whole of Ida-Virumaa, is precisely thanks to the Russification that took place here during those years. After the war, the former residents of Narva were not allowed to return to the city, but large numbers of labor were brought from the "great homeland". As well as in a large part of Ida-Virumaa and Tallinn and Paldiski. If in 1934 the population of Estonia was 1.126 million, then in 1989 it was 1.566 million people. Whereas in 1934, Estonian territories also included a large part of Petserimaa and the area beyond the Narva river, where there was a larger part of the Russian-speaking population. These areas were annexed to Russia during the Soviet era. In 1934, Russians made up 8.2% of the Estonian population, in 1989 33.3% and at the beginning of 2024 21.6%
By the way, this industry, which disappeared with Estonia's independence, was aimed at Russia. Raw materials and labor were imported from the "great homeland" and the produce was transported back there. The lion's share of the industry of the Estonian SSR was under all-Union subordination, including large military industries. And the fixtures of these factories were taken from here to Russia. So there was nothing to produce and nor to whom to produce. The great USSR had ceased to exist. But the workers mostly stayed here. Only a handful of families followed Putin's invitation to return to the country, probably 24 or 25. However, the Russian Federation supported their return to Russia. There was a strong desire to stay in this "Nazi" country for some reason. And even remain stateless. They didn't even want the citizenship of Great Russia. It was their choice. Somehow they had to be able to live and travel. But for this, a document is needed, which became the certificate of a stateless person, or the so-called gray passport. Which has almost the same rights as the Estonian passport. But not so much obligations. Citizenship is not a trading place. Either you are a citizen by birth or you go through the relevant procedures set by law. By the way, gray passport holders can enter Russia without a visa. The genuine Putin-like "Russian World" is speaking in you.
Thanks for clarifying that russians with grey passports are nazis.

Correction: Linnahall was a sports and entertainment complex built for the 1980 Moscow Olympics, but main venue for the sailing event itself was at the nearby Pirita Yachting Centre.
You are on The roof of Linnahall - an Ice rink ! Down Under They play Ice hockey - been there to see the Eesti National Team Games and skated there myself !
Good video but you say wow a lot.
Linnahall didn't host Sailing part of Olympics. There is a complex in Pirita (north-east from the center) that hosted it. Linnahall was built more for different big cultural events, concerts and big communist party conventions. For that it had one of the biggest permanent concert halls in the Europe. Linnahall also had a massive ice ring.
This is good information to know, thank you. I have added a comment with this updated info
Enjoyed your presentation. amazing video keep filming, keep uploading.. !
3:37 That place used to be a WWII German military cemetery. The Soviets destroyed it, and later the Soviet memorial was built to the same area. The current memorial to the German troops is built by Germany.
That’s very interesting, thank you for the info
very nice videos, you dont see this everyday but the border between Estonia and Russia were a bit scary and sad for me. you will feel pain and sorrow of the surroundings
What IS sad about IT ? There IS an Culture on each side - and both do belive in those values and traditions ! If You dont know the language - You are on The WRONG SIDE !
Great video! Nice work👍👍
What a world!! I had to pause it at 23:32 to take it all in. Epic trip mate 🙌.
Cheers mate, so glad you liked it!

I stayed in the same room in Khiva last summer! I recognized the balcony right away.

Fascinating view of inland desert dotted with oases, bordering mountains on the east and a vast plain extending north into Kazakhstan and Siberia. You have discovered the twin to North America's Utah and Nevada.
