This is not meant to diss or to show disrespect towards the people who have died. I have huge respect for the folks that sacrificed their own lives for our freedom. I woud love to see Romania fully democratic and I never voted for today's parties that come from FSN. This is just a video archive mashed up to match the song lyrics more or less.

My dad was watching the news here in the UK on the day that happened - I was 6 years old, and I still remember that image of the chopper lifting off into the air. Obviously I was too young to understand but I remember the pictures.

Ceaușescu escaped whit it before he and his wife got executed by a firing squad

Hello ! Another fruit

Very well said

Well, the difference is, that the regimes in East-Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Albania understood a bit earlier that their days were over, so that they still had the opportunity to arrange a peaceful departure off the stage 😉 Ceausescu was too late for that.

it wasnt a revolution, romania was stolen from its people by military and russians that were send to kill and ocupy big roles in the government (exemple: vasile milea didnt comitted suicide, he was killed by russian spies)

Romania has always been fierce like that, just like Afghanistan it was often impossible to "beat".

He made many mistakes but the socialist doctrine couldn't let him do good for the people. The party needed workers and boring flats were the solution. The nomenclature needed spacious flats to live and someone had to build them. 1977 earthquaqe was just leverage for him to do this.

He thought the people admired him so in his mind the palace was justified, not knowing the true suffering of the people of Romania until it was too late (probably never even believed it in his "NKVD trial").

The regime was so criminal that under this regime many social benefits were provided to the people, industry and living standards developed very much. But once a crisis arose, the regime was slandered as criminal. The most important thing is that the same thing happened in Russia, during the shooting of the parliament in 1993. I think it is already possible to understand the real face of liberals from this incident in Russia.

@@lugerliaz Decree 770 - Ceausescu signed this insanity banning birth control and abortion, in a country that was having trouble feeding the people it already had. So the orphanages filled up with children that could not be supported by desperately poor families. That alone was criminal, to say nothing of what his secret police did. The whole country was the "Nicolae and Elena Show" and the people were extras in the background...

Ok tankie

@lugerliaz RO was such a lovely, advanced paradise, people could not even provide for their offspring, thanks to the 5 child decree (Decret 770). Consequently 500.000 (half a million) had to be raised in "orphanages" - under terrible conditions. It really was impressive.

Indeed. We are much happier than in the 90's tho. The point of this video is to highlight that Ceausescu tought we were a happy nation but it was quite the opposite

Propaganda also helped. People forget easily, you can see it in the comments. :)))

you forget about yugoslavia, if we can call that "eastern block"

poland and baltics hates the past because they thought the soviet union were colonizing them. Romania was more or less more independent from the soviets

@@andreitaga5988 No, that's not the point. People think that everything is bad for them now and they believe that it used to be better when there were communists. They haven't seen that life, and they think it was better before... Well, propaganda helped too.

Yugoslavia was the best in the east, ask anyone that lived in the east. You could immediately tell who was yugo, because they weren't unhappy, had newer clothes, were pretty much never "hungry", etc. etc. Unless of course by "eastern bloc" you intend to say under the boot of the moskals, then yugo wouldn't count (curious how the one european communist country the russians and chinese had little to no control over turned out the best while it was still around, huh?)

Dacia 2000 - licence-built Renault 20 for the upper levels of the Romanian Communist Party. I believe that Elena was chauffeured around in one, but am willing to be corrected on that. The R12 became the Dacia 1300 - pretty much the national car in those days.

Biserica are scopul de a educa populatia intr-un mod moral si corect. Nu exista niciun motiv pentru care Biserica sa nu aiba voie sa intervina in viata de zi cu zi a cetatenilor, pentru beneficiul lor. In plus, Biserica ajuta o gramada de saraci, bolnavi si batrani. Mai ales pe cei de la tara. Ar trebui sa fie emise legi care sa interzica blasfemia. Sa nu se intample drq ce s-a intamplat in SUA unde Biden a numit ziua de paste o sarbatoare a transgenderilor!

Preach brother 🫡

He visited North Korea in the early 1970s, and it's reckoned that the adulation he saw Kim Il-sung receiving had a massive influence on him. It would explain the megalomaniac rebuilding of Bucharest...

Well yes, but the connection with the west was actually more a game for him. If you're familiar with the "glassnot" term there you go. The strategy was to gain trust of most western powers for military technology blueprints. The funny thing is most of co-operation with western industries was based on academic espionage. In 70s we steal a lot of blueprints. So yeah the jokes with Romanians and stealing actions is a bigger rabbit hole. All was good until summer 1978 when his personal advisor (and also the spy master) defected in US, not longer after his visit with Jimmy Carter. The west was informed about his glassnot policy, his action of academic espionage has halted and the true face after was revealed. See "Red Horizons" for more. Yet worse had to come. Many military technology development budget was spend from civilian budgets. So as the years had to pass, the worse it get for basic civilian products like oil, milk, bread, etc. Especially from 1985. I wasn't born in his historical period, but I hear stories and I study this topic from time to time.

@@AndreiDuicu You're talking about Ion Mihai Pacepa when you mention his advisor? I have read Red Horizons - it's a wild tale and shows the world the full horror of what Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu were capable of.

Exactly. I finished reading the book some months ago. Many of his mementos are about this. Worst part was also about involving terrorism in different countries. What a wild ride was that book.

@@AndreiDuicu It is indeed a crazy story that he tells in that book. If it is accurate, Ceausescu was little better than a mafia boss who just happened to be the leader of a country. A total psychopath.

Hello 😊

Mulțumesc! 🫡

This doesn't make any sense. Every communist country condemned every western intervention during 1945-1989.

And Romania condemned the USSR against sending troops from the 5 communist states to Czechoslovakia in 1968, refusing to participate in the invasion, then the Soviets came to the border with Romania. With the intention of doing the same thing, after Ceaușescu he was also hated by the Soviets, but it seems they haven't done anything about it anymore. Just western..? Nah...

Very true. Too bad that only applies to the biggest cities. I was born in Romania, my father is from Babaita (2 hours from Bucharest), my mother is from Rahova (Bucharest), some of my aunts and uncles are from all over Romania: Timisioara, Moldova (not the country). From all the stories I could manage to put together it paints the picture that only Bucharest was living a decent life, but even that was just appearence since they had food rations, they were forced to work and were paid like shit. Outside of Bucharest even to this day we still don't have asphalt and roads. Something that we Romanian people call "tara" which is basically just "countryside" has been looking like the 1800s until about 20 years ago. My grandpa still had "casa parinteasca" which is basically "family house" made mostly of wood, wheat and dirt. Ceausesc stole the land of the people and abused it to push his industrialization (this was a big revolution motto: to give back the lands to the people). Even during the first elections PSD promised the same thing. Ceausescu deported all non romanian citizen back to their countries (germans, turks and hungarians mostly). Search up for "fenomenu Pitesti": basically a project for re-education and brain-washing. They only had electricity for a couple hours a day, they had only one news channel, they had only a few hours of tv programs. Communism was not fun in Romania. Ceausesc did exactly what any dictator does: Hitler and Mussolini did the same. They lied to their people and pretended to better the country but that came to the cost of its own citizens. I also agree that the revolution was not only executed by the citizens as the army was also against Ceausescu. Some of my parents were active military privates when they got arrested and ordered to stand down by the revolutionaires. Not fun.
