The Baltic Way or Baltic Chain (also Chain of Freedom; Estonian: Balti kett; Latvian: Baltijas ceļš; Lithuanian: Baltijos kelias; Russian: Балтийский путь) was a peaceful political demonstration that occurred on 23 August 1989. Approximately two million people joined their hands to form a human chain spanning 675.5 kilometres (419.7 mi) across the three Baltic states – Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, which were considered at the time to be constituent republics of the Soviet Union.

Ehh, the fall of USSR was top down and manufactured

Can I be proud in my ancestors that were sold for guns

I am sure Estonian wanted to leave

But most countries didn't

Russia, Ukraine, many others

The people voted against it

They cared for the block for the most part not communism or whatever tho

Within a minute you became a troll? How is this possible? 🤔

Who?

Lithuania was the first country to gain indepence from the USSR

You, Caster

Our language thrived so well throughout those days

I am skizo...

We even had special words for the book smugglers

Nafri

That dont exist in english

Knygnešiai

I like it

They put their lives in danger during the press ban

To smuggle in lithuanian books and newspapers

Depends in what era, Bitch... Stalin's era is not comparable to 80s and beyond and such

Some of my family members even have old newspapers like Varpas
