The Singing Revolution

The Singing Revolution was a peaceful movement by Estonia to regain independence from the Soviet Union in the late 1980s. Estonians used mass singing events, national songs, and shared cultural traditions to unite and demonstrate their desire for freedom. These gatherings fostered national identity and solidarity, helping to rally public support without violent confrontation. Ultimately, this collective cultural effort contributed to Estonia’s peaceful separation from Soviet control in 1991, showcasing the power of unity and cultural expression in achieving political change.
