Baltic Way 30 – A celebration of Baltic independence

The 23 of August it’s been thirty years since one of the most beautiful manifestations for freedom ever – the Baltic Way. An unbroken chain, hand in hand from Tallinn to Vilnius. Two million people and 600 kilometres. A third of the population. By this courageous act the people showed that they were not going to tolerate Soviet oppression anymore. Come to Norrmalmstorg, bring a friend and let’s form a chain, a circle around the monument for Baltic independence.
