It commemorates the unique human chain from 1989, which connected the capitals of three Baltic states over a length of 600 km.

The Balti keti mälestuskivi commemorates the peaceful demonstration of August 23, 1989, when approximately two million people formed a 600 km long human chain connecting the three Baltic capitals: Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius. This event was a protest against Soviet occupation and a symbol of the pursuit of independence. The stone is a place for reflection on history and the power of unity.
