Estonia refuses to remove anti-Putin poster by the border
12 May 2023
The Narva Museum put up a huge poster on the fortress wall on Tuesday morning that states "Putin is a war criminal." The poster is highly visible from across the river in Russia. People taking part in the Victory Day festivities in Ivangorod, Russia, could see the poster if they looked towards Estonia.

Welcome to The European Correspondent
Europe lacks true European media: in Germany alone, there are more media devoted exclusively to football than news outlets specialising on Europe. The established players mainly focus on Brussels and European institutions. The European Correspondent aims to change that. We cover the whole of Europe and write for a community of citizens who want to look beyond their own national borders. Without European journalism, there is no European civil society.
