One of the most touching and unique peaceful protests in the world marks its 25th anniversary this week – the Baltic Way. To let the whole world see their strife for freedom, the people of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania formed a 600 km long human chain from Tallinn through Rīga to Vilnius. Approximately 2 million took part. What was meant as a protest to draw attention to the illegal occupation of the Baltic States, turned into a symbol of national uprising and popular movements. If we accomplished this, we will be able to regain our freedom as well - And we did. For more information, see the Baltic Way app, which we created to celebrate this special date:
