[@nautifella]

Yes, I have noticed this as well. When I was in university, I would argue with the communist professors constantly. We had one in particular that would get an academic visa and visit the soviet union at least once, sometimes twice a year. He loved the place. He loved it because he had that six-figure professor's paycheck and lots of _American Dollars_ to spread around. When the USSR collapsed he literally cried. After the collapse the demand for his marxism lectures dried up and he had to retire a couple of years later. I offered to buy him a ticket to cuba, but he told me to FO and disappeared. It's easy to be a communist in the _Land for Milk and Honey._ It's completely different under the yoke.

I don’t think it would ever work because peoples greed, basic human failings will always lead to its downfall. Even North Korea will eventually give up on it, I don’t think Putin wants to bring back the communist system, but he does want the consolidation of power that the dictators of the past had.

Visitors to Romania who were "received" by Elena were warned in advance to wear paste and plate jewelry and knockoff watches because Elena would make a point of admiring the jewelry and basically forcing the wearer to "gift" it to her. The heck of it was, Elena was so dumb and so lacking in class that she had no idea the stuff she was "given" all those times was fake: the Romanians who examined it on her behalf were afraid to anger her by telling her the stuff was fugazi.

The phrase "axis of evil" was first used by U.S. President George W. Bush and originally referred to Iran, Ba'athist Iraq, and North Korea. It was used in Bush's State of the Union address on January 29, 2002, less than five months after the September 11 attacks and almost a year before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and often repeated throughout his presidency. He used it to describe foreign governments that, during his administration, allegedly sponsored terrorism and sought weapons of mass destruction.

The platoon of paratroopers assigned to guard, and eventually execute, the Ceausescus had a bit of problem with the assignment. You see, they *ALL* wanted to execute the Ceausescus. So they settled the issue in soldierly fashion.... the fought it out. The winners got Nicolae and the rest got Elena. The international press that was there noticed that when the paras brought the Ceausescus to the wall, they looked like they had been in a fight so they asked the captain in charge of the unit. "They were selecting who was to be on each firing squad." _This story was told to me by my Calculus professor in university. He was Romanian._

My uncle was chosen by his employer General Motors Corporation in Detroit, Michigan, USA to be their Romanian representative when the Ceausescus visited the US in 1978. The US government was steering foreign policy to move Romania and other Eastern bloc countries away from Moscow. Romania had taken out loans from Western countries, and in order to repay the loans had to Export the majority of manufactured goods in exchange for $s. This put a strain on the internal economy, and in the minds of most people it tested their loyalty to the government. At that point in the 1980s it had become a state controlled capitalist economy instead of a communist utopia. People that had jobs in the cities had to leave work at the end of the day and wait in line for 4 hours to get the basic necessities, and quite often their were 100 of something for sale in the store, and 200 people in line waiting outside. So you can see their murderous frustration.

So the revolution happened in 1989 & I was in Italy in 1990 for the World Cup & I remember seeing Romanian supporters flying Romanian flags but they had cut out a circle in the middle of the flag. I'm guessing it must have been something to do with the Communist party or the Ceausescu's. I just remember how happy they all were.🙂

[@LoveClassicMusic0205]

I believe they cut out the hammer and sickle.

[@fsantosneto]

Maduro of Venezuela will have the same end. Matter of time...

[@brunokirchensittenbach9294]

…Remember the CIA is behind this charade of regime change like in Ukraine in 2014 , Venezuela they want their oil like in Irak where the U.S. murdered over 1 million people and millions displaced in Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Etc..🫵🏼💀🇺🇸

[@simonf8902]

You sound sympathetic to the Ceacescus. Why

[@TheFigaro666]

3:07 with Venezuelan president Rafael Caldera and his wife Alicia Pietri de Caldera, when Venezuela was an example of democracy in Latin America. Who would ever have thought that 50 years later, Venezuela would become a ruthless dictatorship like Romania under the Chavez and Maduro regimes?

[@mikey2toes966]

Damn Andrew Tate’s grandma and grandpa were horrible people.

[@kj_landaez]

That photo on 3:15 really surprised me. I've never expected to see Venezuela's former president Rafael Caldera and his wife Alicia alongside to the Ceausescu

[@GlenDais-fl6df]

Glad to learn this. I always thought that she had just been included in his execution because of her relationship to the dictator.

[@ProudCanadian1959]

You think this would make politicians step back and consider their faults before ending up in the same situation.

[@PEC9905]

My grandparents immigrated from Romania in the 1920s but had family there. We heard all the stories. Horrible. They were not victims.

[@ritageraghty3261]

They had a son who might be still alive today. He was as abusive as his parents.

[@mihaelapopescu7686]

No. They had 3 children. Nicu is the son you are talking about. He wasn't abusive like you say. He was just like any other boy with money. Not happy because, what you think ? He was free to love, marry whom he wanted? All of their children were 24/7 watched and abused by their mother, in particular. Nicu was forced to marry Poliana Cristescu. His beloved one was forced to make abortion (actually taken from the street and sent it to doctor that performed the abortion on her) ... Nicu died few years later after the revolution. Zoe, the sister died also. She was a brilliant and respected mathematicians. The only one surviving is Valentin. Very shy and not seen a lot ... Abused children.

I remember watching the news on this as a kid.

Sic semper tyrannis! Thus ever to tyrants!

[@blampfno]

I remember this. If there's an opposite to the concept of international uproar, that would describe the world's response.

[@natasavalinova6666]

😮Omg, what are you talking about? Elena, a scientist ?😂? She hasn't completed primary school. Do your homework, please. For the same of Romanian People.

[@natasavalinova6666]

For the sake of Romanian people.

[@patmiddleton3947]

, very good vid.

[@Fred_the_Head]

It is often said that history repeats itself.

[@katherinemitchell4226]

It's interesting that the camera crews missed so much. Hurried last-minute coverage not expected. The still shot showing these people going down with Elena's frontal hairline showing seems a bit different than all of the other well documented photos of her much receded hairline. Must have just been the angle. By the way, how tall was the dictator? I would like to see the previous photo and post if they exist. 9:38 - 10:00

[@mihaelapopescu7686]

Do you think it was a camera crew ? It was during the revolution. Fights were still on the streets. We didn't know if the regime would come back. The filming was performed by one of the soldiers. A young boy that happen to be enrolled in that garrison, at Targoviste . Try to imagine the terror/horror that you are witness to the killing of the ones that a month before you had to have a picture in the classroom and worship ...

She was an evil and contemptuous woman

Our tour guide said her last words were "eff you! You effing mother effers!"
