The event in Ivangorod drew crowds of spectators in neighboring Narva, who gathered on the embankment of the river dividing the cities
Crowds of people have gathered in the Estonian city of Narva to watch the Victory Day concert being held in Russia's Ivangorod, which is situated just across the border.
The Estonian authorities banned Victory Day celebrations on May 9, penalizing anyone seen with Soviet or Russian-themed symbols, such as the Ribbon of Saint George.
One of the spectators on the Estonian side of the Narva river told RT on Sunday that compared to previous years, even more people had come to the embankment to see the event. The person said that Victory Day "has always been the most important holiday for us, no matter what."
