I realize that my channel isn't the biggest and won't be for a while but there is a lot of knowledge I have acquired over
a few years of being on youtube and I do have advice to offer - either with regards to starting a channel or video production.
I very much live and breathe the grind of Youtube and can sympathize with anyone having trouble as I have had little luck myself and am likely able to offer advice for you to be able to position yourself for faster success than me or at the very least review your channel.

VIDEO DESCRIPTION:

In the Estonian city of Narva, the fruits of European integration are evident, boasting monthly gross wages over 1700 euros and a high life expectancy of 79 years. On the other side of the river in Ivangorod, a mere 517 euros in monthly wages and a life expectancy of around 70 years underscore a different reality.

This documentary delves into the past and present of these twin cities, once mirroring each other but now standing as separate entities. We explore the backdrop of 2014 when international media gathered in Narva to question if it could be the next Crimea, as tensions escalated due to Russia's annexation of Crimea and the war in Donbas.

With a spotlight on the complex emotions towards Russia, Putin, and Estonian statehood, we unravel the multifaceted sentiments among the predominantly ethnically Russian population of Narva. As over 80% of Narva's population identifies as ethnically Russian, the battle for hearts and minds in the Baltic states intensifies.

Estonia's remarkable transformation post-Soviet era takes center stage, showcasing its journey from economic struggles to becoming a beacon of innovation and stability. We explore the reasons behind Estonia's swift pursuit of EU and NATO membership upon gaining independence and the strategic policies that paved its way to success.

Uncover the challenges and aspirations of the Russian-speaking minority in Estonia, whose integration and identity struggles unfold against the backdrop of evolving government policies, citizenship changes, and the removal of Soviet-era monuments.

As we navigate the complex landscape of these two cities, we consider the future of the Baltic region. Will the resilience and innovation of these nations prevail over challenges brought by the conflict in Ukraine? Could landmark projects like the proposed Tallinn Tunnel strengthen connections and drive regional growth?

Join us for a compelling exploration of the Narva River and the contrasting worlds it separates, offering insights into history, geopolitics, and the profound impact of economic and political choices on the lives of those living on either side of this symbolic divide.
