Lithuania's independence is truly an amazing story. As the state began to break away from the USSR in 1990, tanks were sent in, and Soviet troops shut off the nation's broadcaster.
But suddenly, a family TV station that usually went online only once a week started broadcasting.
The Soviet troops called into the station live, threatening to shut them down.
By that time, the Swedes picked up the broadcast and began sending it to the world.
The Lithuanian people saw the broadcast, and 50,000 people took to the streets to block the tanks. The tanks retreated.
