Liberating a Continent - Baltic Way
Excerpt from the documentary film Liberating a Continent: John Paul II and the fall of Communism. On the 50th anniversary of the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact, over 2 million people from the Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia linked hands to protest Soviet rule in a human chain that spanned over 400 miles.

I was a child then. But holding my hands with "strangers" made me fell like something very important is going on. I was right.
Я вами гордилась и горжусь до сих пор. Вы - невероятные!
I m Chinese.Tears rolled down my eyes as the two million baltics took to the streets in hopes of freedom and democracy, using non-violent means to express their dissatisfaction with the communist party's authoritarian rule. With a population of just over 5 million people in the three countries, 2 million people participated in this event, and the 600 kilometers across the capitals of the three countries made me realize the power of this spontaneous awakening of the people.

Glad you got this trip in before current events, hope it was nice. I'm partially Baltic and would like to go see these countries one day (hopefully before any 'special operations', God forbid)
I am Spanish, and after watching this video and finding out more about the Baltic Way I am so proud of everyone who stood up and defended their rights. BEAUTIFUL
I don't know much about my family's history from there, but I know that I'm a proud (partial) Lithuanian-American and I hope that we stand forever as friends and protect your freedom always. Same to Baltic brothers in Latvia and Estonia.
I was there.

It was a referendum of the three Baltic states on leaving the USSR.
This is going on in Hong Kong right now! Except they call it "The pepe way" yes after the frog meme
You have no idea how fucking much it means to me since I have born in a free Lithuania
Минусы Балтики: там умер Виктор Цой
Socialist: Socialism is the best for the people. The people:
People who taking in this video, don't have any touching for movement on video. They came after all what was happen and took over all glory. Anthill these days they doing genocide of Baltic people.
