Another amazing thread from BadBalticTakes on an astonishing slice of #history when a quarter of the populations of #Estonia, #Lithuania, and #Latvia formed a continuous 670km human chain, the #BalticWay, denouncing both #Nazi and #Soviet ideologies and demanding #freedom.

Berlin wall fell 33 years ago. But change was already underway before the fall.

In Lithuania, we were tearing down this wall from within. The #BalticWay happened less than 3 months before the the wall was torn down.

I am happy to have been the part of this change.

33 years ago, the people of the Baltic States stood together in an unprecedented peaceful demonstration.

They formed a +600km long human chain, crossing the borders with a common call for Freedom and Democracy.

Täna, 33 aastat tagasi, 1989. aastal seisid 🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪 inimesed koos Balti ketis.

Rohkem kui 2 miljonit inimest Tallinnast Vilniuseni seisis vabaduse, väärikuse ja Euroopa unistuse eest.

Ära lase agressoritel end hirmutada, ühtsus on kõige võimsam tõrjumine. #BalticWay

През 2009 г., 23 август е обявен за Общоевропейски ден за почитане на паметта на жертвите на всички тоталитарни и авторитарни режими.

Денят на демонстрацията не е избран случайно - на 23 август 1939г., точно преди избухването на Втората световна война, е подписан пактът Молотов-Рибентроп между нацистка Германия и Съветския съюз, който със секретен протокол разделя Източна Европа на сфери на влияние.

3️⃣3️⃣ години от #BalticWay.

На 23.08.1989 г. близо 2 млн. граждани на Литва 🇱🇹, Латвия 🇱🇻 и Естония 🇪🇪 образуват 600 км жива верига, в израз на желанието им за независимост от СССР.

Днес "Балтийският път" е символ на отстояването на демокрацията и свободата. 👇
