Baltic chain. 23th Aug 1989. This time, wishes for my fb friends in Lituania ( Kristupas Dacius, Martynas Dacius - please regards for your father), Latvia(Voldemārs Musajevs , and - only if you like this :) - Liene Stepanova Ex Vaice, Sofija Fomina, Mark Sukonnikov, Denis Blinofff, Vjačeslavs Ivanovskis), and Estonia (Markus Mägi, Mallort Gregor). Please ask your parents, grandparents :) if they where there. This I remember listening Polish radio, reading Polish press - already quite free at those times in Poland. At 19:00 on 23 August 1989, approximately two million people from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania joined hands, forming a human chain from Tallinn through Riga to Vilnius, spanning 600 kilometres. It was a peaceful protest against illegal Soviet occupation, and also one of the earliest and longest unbroken human chains in history. https://youtube/watch?v=Q8iuAUWzB-E
