Spanning approximately 600 kilometres or 370 miles long across Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, the longest human chain in history known as the Baltic Way on August 23, 1989, represented the peak of the Singing Revolution and the unity of people in condemning the unlawful Molotov-Ribbentrop pact signed in 1939 that pulled the Baltic States into more than 50 years of oppression and occupation. Approximately two million people of various ethnicities joined hands, unafraid and longing for freedom, in the name of a common goal - to overcome the consequences of World War II and to destroy the totalitarian regimes.
