Description acceptable. Members of an organization opposed to this event called Interfront occupied a castle in response to the passage of a law banning the flying of one flag. During this event, one group issued “Instructions for X-Hour,” leading to thousands of civilians constructing barricades. Fears of an influx of foreign labor and environmental degradation led to the Phosphorite War preceding this event. Fourteen people were killed during this event in clashes referred to as the January Events, during which a failed attempt was made to seize one capital’s (*) TV tower. On the 50th anniversary of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact during this event, two million people formed a human (10[1])chain stretching (10[1])from Tallinn to Vilnius called the Baltic Way. For 10 points, name this event culminating in the independence of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania from the Soviet Union. ■END■
