During the Soviet period (1944-1991), the city's original native inhabitants were not permitted to return after the war, and immigrant workers from Soviet Russia and other parts of then USSR were brought in to populate the city.
Thank you, very nice video, i visiting lot in Narva years 98 to 03 period, time before Astri shopping center, didnt seen much western cars either. Most common taxis were Ladas and Volgas,some Omega and older Mbs.,few Audis. I got red Audi 80 i came from Finland and seen all seasons, winter snow too. Nice memories,lovely city.
@@andriusgimbutas3723 same as the British monarchical family. But being of German descent didnt stop them from being Russian or British. Btw Donald Trump is of German descent too which doesnt make him less of an American.
The reason why Narva has so many Russian inhabitants is because Stalin deported almost all Estonians from the north-east of the country. Many died in the gulags, and those who were allowed to return after his death, were not allowed to settle in the Northeast. The Russians wanted to make sure that the big power plant near Narva was entirely surrounded by Russian speakers, whom they considered to be more loyal.

Soviet army. And the former Narva residents were no longer returned to the city. During the Soviet era, the city was inhabited by so-called Soviet people, without nationality or roots. Thus, an Estonian city with Soviet heritage, where Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians brought from the then Soviet Union live. The vast majority are either first or second generation immigrants. As mentioned, during the Soviet era, Estonians were not allowed to live in Narva. That was a tragic policy.

@Jake Johansson You are putting this into different context. Jaan was stating the facts where from the people mostly came to Narva. It helps to check out demographics before trying to trigger people.
@Jake Johansson I cannot really comment how much Estonians celebrate diversity. It may be dependent on understanding and communicating in the same language.
