Poland Marks 20th Anniversary Of First Postcommunist Government - Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty © 2009: "The month of August saw a human chain stretching across the three Baltic states, as 2 million people joined hands to protest the Moscow-Berlin pact that had placed them inside the Soviet sphere of influence.
The same month, Hungary's opposition staged its 'Pan-European Picnic,' an event which led to a mass breaching of the Iron Curtain by hundreds of East Germans, who were allowed to cross into the West without hindrance."
