Thirty-five year ago on 23 August 1989, approximately two million people formed a human chain of over 600 kilometers across Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia in a peaceful demonstration known as the Baltic Way, against the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, which was signed on the same day in 1939, between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany and leading to the Soviet occupation of the Baltics.
