The Baltic Way was a human chain of linked hands stretching from Vilnius to Tallinn, made up of the people of three small nations \u2014 Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. This peaceful mass demonstration was their silent reminder of themselves to the world \u2014 that they were prisoners, forgotten by all and imprisoned for 50 years. The Baltic Way was a triumph of democratic self-determination.<\/p>\n

The fate of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, as independent states, was sealed on 23 August and 28 September 1939 in Moscow with the signing of treaties between Nazi Germany and the Stalinist Soviet Union \u2014 the so-called Molotov-Ribentropp secret protocols, which established spheres of influence. These protocols created the basis for the occupation and annexation of the Baltic States in the summer of 1940 by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). To the international community the protocols were no secret, but the USSR firmly denied their existence for 50 years.<\/p>\n

Therefore, on 23 August 1989, at 19:00 local time, a living chain stretched from Vilnius (Gediminas Hill) through Riga (Freedom Monument) to Tallinn (Toompea Castle) and stayed for about 15\u201320 minutes. It connected almost 2 million people, in Lithuania alone \u2014 about a million. In the territory of Lithuania almost 60 thousand automobiles transported the participants. The effect was enhanced by two planes that dropped flowers on those standing together below. Even though such massive movement created traffic jams on some highways, there were no unfortunate accidents. Order was maintained by the inspection of road transport, coordination took place over the national radio. Nevertheless, due to the traffic and other reasons, many people were unable to reach their\u00a0destination on the Baltic Way, therefore they linked hands wherever they were at the time, thus creating rather symbolic branches from the main road. It is said that the human chain from Vilnius to Tallinn could be seen from space. \u201cWe have never been so big\u201d \u2014 these were the poetic words of Justinas Marcinkevi\u010dius, confi rming this truth.<\/p>\n

On that same day, 23 August, S\u0105j\u016bdis and the fronts announced a joint appeal to the peoples of the world. It stated: \u201cBrothers and sisters in the East and West, we are prepared to forget about your double standards if you could fi nd the courage within yourselves to demand the application of international legislation not only in Africa and Asia, but also in Europe\u201d. This appeal was sent to the United Nations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
