Narva is a grey city.
90% of the residents are Russian and few of them speak Estonian or English.
I encountered hostility among the Russians. They flat-out don't believe that an Estonian speaking adult can't also speak Russian.
I'd never go there again.

Russians in Estonia truly believe that they liberated Estonians from the Nazis and that this should entitle them to citizenship and language rights.
They know absolutely nothing about communist atrocities. A young Russian from Tallinn told me that only a few war criminals were ever deported.
He didn't believe me when I told him that, between 1941 and 1949, 30,000 Estonians were shipped to Siberia, where roughly half of them died.

There have been other battles in and around Narva - 1918 and 1944 come to mind, although it is doubtful Angelika would want to deal with either of them.

Meanwhile, Bernadette should probably go over to Ivangorod and have a real good look around at the "restaurants and shopping centers" on offer for the border hopping historo-touristas.
