British journalists love trotting and they enjoyed the races in Romania as well.

Parca era mult mai frumos, mult mai ordonat si curat peisajul romanesc. Fara aglomeratie, fara peturi si gunoaie aruncate la tot pasul, fara cocalari cu masinile parcate pe spatiul verde....hmmm, interesant filmulet. Mi-ar place sa fie si acum asa!

Cu un nickname ca "motanelustelistu", nu cred că ai prins vremurile Cortinei de Fier. Dar pentru cei care nu s-au născut ieri, Cortina de Fier era imediat la est de Hamburg și Munchen. Adica inclusiv Praga, Berlin sau Budapesta se aflau dincolo de Cortina de Fier, nu numai România. Probabil nici părinții tăi nu erau născuți când a folosit Churchill prima dată termenul.

Interesting video, and interesting to know about the anti communism of British pathe during that period

[@picatica]

Yes, "anti communism"....! For those of us who have lived through those times, waiting for "miracles" from the West, just after the fall of the Berlin Wall this detail was "revealed" to us. The advertising propaganda Franceza also has a series of films about the "paradise" life of the Romanians, while the most intelligent and loyal minds could be victims of imprisoned for not accepting the domination of the traitors and illiterate communists... It is enough to look at what is happening in the world today to understand the consequences of media manipulation and human weakness and commitment.

Please change the titles...it's "Romania", not "Rumania"...videos are awesome

[@vladimanisor1562]

Ciprian Rosulescu Pe vremuri englezii și americanii și totată gașca de vorbitori de engleză scriau “Rumania”. Titlul este așa deoarece datează de pe-atuncea.

[@JamesHaitch]

In English, the name of the country was formerly spelt Rumania or Roumania. Romania became the predominant spelling around 1975

In 1965, Romania was under the leadership of Nicolae Ceaușescu, who became the General Secretary of the Romanian Communist Party in 1965 and later served as the President of Romania from 1967 until his overthrow and execution in 1989. Here are some key aspects of Romania during the year 1965: 1. **Political Landscape:** - Nicolae Ceaușescu's leadership marked a period of increased nationalism and independence for Romania within the Eastern Bloc. Initially, he pursued policies independent of the Soviet Union, but Romania remained a communist state. 2. **Economic Policies:** - Ceaușescu implemented economic policies aimed at achieving rapid industrialization and economic development. This included the forced collectivization of agriculture and the prioritization of heavy industry. 3. **Cultural and Educational Changes:** - The regime also sought to create a cult of personality around Ceaușescu, and there were efforts to reshape education and culture to align with the government's ideology. This included censorship and control over the media. 4. **International Relations:** - Romania pursued a foreign policy that aimed at establishing itself as an independent actor within the Eastern Bloc. Ceaușescu criticized the invasion of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact troops in 1968, a move that distanced Romania from the Soviet Union. 5. **Social Conditions:** - Despite economic growth, living conditions for many Romanians were challenging, with shortages of consumer goods and restrictions on personal freedoms. The regime's emphasis on heavy industry often came at the expense of consumer-oriented industries. 6. **Securitate:** - The Securitate, Romania's secret police, played a significant role in maintaining control and suppressing dissent during Ceaușescu's regime. Political opposition was not tolerated, and dissenters faced severe consequences. It's important to note that Romania underwent significant changes in the years following 1965, including a period of relative independence from the Soviet Union, but the repressive nature of the regime and economic difficulties persisted until the fall of Ceaușescu in the 1989 revolution.

"How did the monks of Moldavia managed to create such a long lasting evidence of a Christian settlement in the Communist world" .... Uhhhh ... there was no "Communist world in Moldavia, 500 years or so ago when these ecclesiastic masterpieces were built . Who wrote this silly commentary ?

[@MrBoazhorribilis]

The commentary of the BBC is incredibly naive and ignorant of Romania of the '60s. It would be laughable if it was not so alarmingly sad.

You're dumb. Religion never disappeared in Eastern European countries, to this day Romania is 92% Orthodox Christian with Eastern European nations ranking the highest among religious adherence in Europe. You can't take religion away from Eastern Europeans, they tried and they died.

[@picatica]

@@wallachia4797 Unfortunately, religion is not to go to church and comply with customs, but to remember the communist genocide and ask for justice, so that things do not repeat ... do "mea culpa" for accepting and collaborating with communism before and after 1989 voting extreme left governments that used their own compatriots (miners) to repress rights and freedoms and corrupted the main institutions that instead of serving the citizen, continued to serve the same left system, now the owner of the whole of Europe.
