The Baltic Way was a peaceful political mass manifestation held jointly in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania on 23 August 1989. It saw people line up in an approximately 675.5 km long human chain uniting Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius. The aim of the manifestation was to show the world the independence aspirations of the Baltic States and to draw attention to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact signed half a century previously between the Soviet Union and Germany, the secret protocols of which had led to the occupation and annexation of the Baltic States by the Soviet Union.
