On August 23, 1989, approximately X million individuals from Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania formed a human chain stretching XXX km. It served to showcase their collective desire to break free from the Soviet Union and the communist regime. Known as the Baltic Way, this peaceful protest became a significant milestone in the history of the Soviet Union.

Involving people of all ages, the Baltic Way brought together entire families, united in their pursuit of independence. The event garnered global attention and symbolized the solidarity of the Baltic States. This powerful demonstration was a turning point for the three countries' struggle for freedom, as each nation asserted its aspiration for self-governance.

Lithuania became the first of the Soviet Union's Republics to declare independence just six months later. August XX is now commemorated as Black Ribbon Day or the European Day of Remembrance for Victims of Stalinism and Nazism, honoring those who suffered under oppressive regimes.
