A sculpture dedicated to the Baltic Way
Memorial site

It is located at the Unguriņu-Lilli border point of Latvia and Estonia.

In the spring of 2009, the municipality of Ķonu parish, whose territory borders Estonia, in cooperation with metal artist Andris Dukura, created a sculpture dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the "Baltic Road".

A nine meter long and two and a half meter high sculpture with human silhouettes, where you can stand and hold hands in the empty places of human silhouettes. The idea of the sculpture allows to expand the dimension of time, and not only remember the chain of living people of 1989, but also gives the opportunity to become a part of the "Baltic Road" at any moment together with the sculpture.

Video about making the sculpture.

The Baltic Way was a unique campaign not only in the Baltics, but on a European and even global scale. It had never happened before that the residents of three countries united in a living chain of participants, which connected the capitals of the countries - Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn. The historical event took place on the evening of August 23, 1989, it united about 2 million people. Its purpose was to draw attention to and remind of 50-year-old events - the conclusion of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact. As a result, the two superpowers of that time - Germany and the USSR redistributed spheres of influence in Europe before the next world war, but the Baltic states lost their independence.
The approximately 600 km long chain of participants in Latvia marked the Baltic road from Bauska to Riga, further to Sigulda, Cēsis, Valmiera and Rūjiena.
