Confusion in Two Parts

Once upon a time, long, long ago, on August 23, 1989, about two million people joined hands and formed a 670-kilometer-long human chain. They did not do it for a Guinness World Record, they were driven by a hunger for freedom and ideals. Three small nations told the whole world clearly and firmly: we want to regain our lost independence.

This story is about those long-ago times and three Latvian fathers who were and are ready for anything to fight for a free Latvia and their families' happiness in it. They won freedom together. But their interpretations of happiness differed. Will they be ready to trample another countryman’s happiness to get their own? Hardly, because we all realize that only if we are strong and united will we be able not to disappear into some page of history. Right?
