The Baltic Chain was a massive event that took place on 23 August 1989. It was designed as a protest against the Soviet forces to demonstrate the desire in the Baltic States for freedom and independence. Two million people took part in the event. The chain wound its way through all three Baltic States – Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. People stood hand-in-hand in an unbroken chain measuring 600 km
