Varnja: The people and potential on the shores of Lake Peipus
In a village of just 250 residents on the western, Estonian shore of the fifth-largest lake in Europe, known as Peipus in Estonian and Chudskoe in Russian, a mix of old blood and new — Russian-speakers and Estonians, Old Believers and newcomers — live and work side by side. Despite any differences, however, Varnja's residents all have at least one thing in common: their belief in the village's great potential.
