In 1990, Sąjūdis-backed candidates won the elections to the Lithuanian Supreme Soviet. On March 11, 1990, the Supreme Soviet (or, more precisely, the Supreme Council of Lithuania) proclaimed the restitution of Lithuanian independence, becoming the first of the Soviet republics to declare national rights.

On 24 February 1989, the national blue-black-and-white flag was hoisted to the main tower on the Tallinn Toompea castle.

In November the same year the Supreme Soviet of the Estonian SSR passed a decision on the events in Estonia in 1940 which declared the actions of the Soviet Union against the Republic of Estonia to be military aggression, an occupation and annexation. Estonia’s incorporation into the Soviet Union was announced legally invalid; it was proposed that independent Estonian statehood should be restored as a subject of international law. In December 1989, the representatives of the Baltic countries achieved a significant goal at the USSR Congress of People’s Deputies — the Hitler-Stalin (Molotov-Ribbentrop) pact was declared illegal from the moment of its signing.

In February–March 1990, Estonia held its first free elections with several candidates: those supporting independence won a clear victory both in the Congress of Estonia and the Supreme Soviet. Estonia thus obtained parliamentary popular representation. The way this was achieved acquired international appreciation. Estonian representative bodies and the government (Prime Minister Edgar Savisaar) acted like organs of power of a sovereign state, ignoring orders coming from Moscow. With the 12 March manifesto, the Congress of Estonia declared to all the countries and nations of the world that the Estonian people were determined to restore the independent Republic of Estonia on the basis of legal continuity and the 1920 Tartu Peace Treaty
