Estonia25th Anniversary of the Baltic Chain - Joint Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian Issue
Date of Issue : 23 August 2014
The Baltic Chain on 23 August 1989, was a giant demonstration initiated to influence Soviet authorities and to express the will of freedom of the people of the three Baltic nations – a human chain of nearly seven hundred kilometres from Tallinn to Vilnius. The number of people standing along the route has been assessed at up to one million. The demonstration was scheduled to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which unlawfully changed the national status of the Baltic countries and robbed them of their independence.
