On 23 August 1989, almost one million people joined hands to form an over 600 kilometre-long human chain across the three Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. This peaceful demonstration known as the Baltic Way demanded recognition of the secret clauses in the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and the re-establishment of the independence of the Baltic states.
