Valga-Valka [Estonia-Latvia] 2019
Video on BORDER FAIR in Valka/Valga
The name of this city sounds like a spell Valga-Valka. In fact, this is one city that the Estonian-Latvian border has divided into two parts.
The main attractions are on the Estonian side:
- The Valga Church of St. John (built in the period 1787-1816 by the architect Christoph Haberland).
- The wooden building of the town hall (built in 1865).
- The Church of St. Katrina (built in 1477).
- The Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Spirit (built in 1907).
- The Monument of the Liberation War (a copy of the monument of 1925, recreated in 2013 by the sculptor Jaak Soans).
- Monument to Stefan Batory, as the person who granted Valga the rights of a city in 1584. Established in 2002.
And Valka has following sights: a local history museum, a theater,
the former dwelling house of Baron von Wrangel (1645), the Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Katrina (first mentioned in 1477).
Author of song Valka-Valga is Andris Niklavics:
[RU] Название этого города звучит как заклинание Валга-Валка. По сути, это один город, который эстонско-латвийская граница разделила на две части.
Основные достопримечательности находятся на эстонской стороне:
- Валгаская церковь святого Иоанна (построена в период 1787—1816 года архитектором Кристофом Хаберландом).
- Деревянное здание ратуши (построено в 1865-м году).
- Церковь святой Катрины (построена в 1477 году).
- Римско-католическая церковь Святого Духа (построена в 1907 году).
- Монумент Освободительной Войны (копия памятника 1925 года, воссоздана в 2013-м году скульптором Яаком Соансом).
- Памятник Стефану Баторию, как человеку, даровавшему Валге права города в 1584 году. Установлен в 2002 году.
А Валка может похвастаться краеведческим музеем, театром,
бывшим жилым домом барона фон Врангеля (1645), евангелистской лютеранской церковь Святой Катрины (впервые упоминается в 1477).

Estonia - Russian Orthodox Church
This is one of a series of reports I produced nearly a decade ago for WTN Roving Report and kept a copy for posterity . They have been uploaded to this site so that the people who took part who never got a chance to see them can now view them.
As a freelance cameraman/director I researched and produced this report for WTN's Roving Report.
Filmed five years after Estonia's' independence from Russia it examines the problems faced by the Russian Orthodoc Church and ethnic Russians in Estonia.

Also sorry if the video gets wonky in a few parts. Tried my best but Windows Movie Maker hasn't been too reliable. Just my opinion though :P
