This is the first revolution that was, to contradict Gil-Scott Heron, televised. I found myself sobbing through the middle stretch of this last night. I recall watching CNN in 1989 on Christmas and how enormous a surprise the Romanian revolution was, but even more surprised in 2024 that the same footage provoked me to tears. It's absolutely gripping reportage from ITN crews who were very clearly in physical danger themselves, and they did such a heroic job capturing the courage of ordinary Romanians that week.

I was 19 years old, I was in front of the City Hall in town of Arad, before december the 22nd, before the army joined the people, we didn't know what it would happend next but we wanted freedom so bad, we didn't care anymore, we were frightened but thirsty for change.... I left Romania shortly after and never looked back. Some people died for the others to be free... and what did they do to that country? After 35 years... things are not as they should be. I hope those who died, didn't die in vain! Peace to their souls! Watching this today, still bring tears to my eyes!

[@daciaromana2396]

I was just a year old when the Romanian Revolution began in my hometown of Timișoara. Growing up, my parents made sure I understood the horrors of living under communism; reminding me daily of the nightmare it was. This is why I am deeply pro-Western and staunchly capitalist. It is a conviction I intend to pass on to my future children, ensuring that they, too, understand Romania’s path must never veer back toward the Russian sphere of influence. It is disheartening that less than 40 years after communism's fall, some Romanians have been misled into adopting anti-Western views. To me, this is a betrayal of the sacrifices made during the revolution and the progress we’ve fought so hard to achieve. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to stand firm against this regression. Either we are western, or we perish.

@MoMoIsInHell Romania was very isolated in December 1989, all the other communist regimes in Eastern Europa had already fallen and even Gorbatchev in the Soviet Union was against Ceaușescu. Even Moldova was more open than Romania at this point of time, also Yugoslavia, Hungary anyway. So Romania was surrounded and media and information spilled over into the country. At the same time Romania was in its deepest economic crisis ever since WWII. Even people within the nomenclatura didn't support the situation anymore, or their own children were trying to run away from the country.

That's a load of rubbish. English was taught in schools, just not as frequently as today. My father spoke English pretty well, he learned it in school. Still have a couple of commie era English language text books, one called "Learn English without a teacher". I'd have to check, but I think it's from the late '60s or early '70s. So no, it wasn't "quite hard or impossible". It was doable if you had any actual interest in learning it which, I gather, the old people you spoke to didn't have. Even today Romania ranks low in Europe in terms of foreign language proficiency.

[@euphorbia1581]

[@MoMoIsInHell]

Yeah, some people regretted just few years after his death, elderly who were left with a poor pension and people in poverty. They had no freedom or western products, but there was free housing and free medical care, pensioners had annual thermal spa holidays etc. Now they have freedom, but access to housing it's a dream far away and they have all the products in the world, but not enough money. People's primary needs (housing) will always take precedent over secondary needs (freedom), hence why they long for communism. Or you can ask them why, this is the standard answer. You'll never hear anything about regret from someone who has a decent lifestyle, never. I always let a tear out looking at the bravery and determination of the youth of 1989 and will never stop being grateful for their sacrifice and courage

[@nicolaramoso3286]

It depends on who are you talking to. While some regions in the country have greatly developed after the revolution, mainly Transilvania and Bucharest, others have been left severely depleted and with close-to-no hopes of improvements. Take for example the Jiu Valley and Southern Romania, whose mines and factories have been left to rot with no other job alternatives. It's quite nuanced.

[@aiureantramvai]

@MoMoIsInHell LOL @ free housing. There was no free housing. You had to enroll and wait for months and years for even a small apartament, and it wasn't where you wanted to live with proper conditions, it was where the communist party wanted you to live. As for "free medical care" just an example: romanian women had zero access to medical services for abortions.

Regardless of the former Eastern Bloc country, the soldiers of each country's army looked the same...as they did in 1945, which only shows the state of their economies.

[@MoMoIsInHell]

Those are conscrips. One year forced army. They were never trained to do anything, I can guarantee you none of them ever fired lived amo prior to this. I can assure you the ones from the military police securitate were trained and equipped. They had snipers and were permanent paid soldiers, not conscrips. It's the same in Russia now. Look at their conscrips. It's not necessarily about being a poor country, Russia its not poor. They just added more pouches to their military and got them to pay for their own bullet vest, and that's the improvement. It's about the military style, Russia and their satelite states relied on cannon fodder soldiers. No need to pay for training or equipment if you're using them as cannon fodder

[@lauraly2712]

What is very telling is that after a few initial reports ITN appears to have made a decision not to mention that the popular discontent and ultimate revolution was not just against Ceausescu but against communism. Romania was depicted as a Ceausescuan dictatorship that began in 1965 when he took the place of the preceding communist dictator Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej when he died. Things were no better from the beginning of the communist dictatorship in 1947, the repressions were no less severe, human rights violations and police terror were part and parcel of communist rule from when they manipulated the elections to take power in Romania. Concentration camps were built already the, tens of thousands were arrested and many executed. So, the Romanian revolution was foremost an anti communist revolution, in spite of ITN's efforts (BBC's also) to minimize that aspect.

For foreign people, be aware that the Revolution trial has been sent back to first court for several times, showing the complicity of the justice system in hiding the responsible persons. This is a shame and spit on the graveyards of the Romanian heroes who gave their lives for freedom and democracy.

Those days I remember, it was snowy X-mas and i watched this revolution from TV. Student during those days. I was in Bucarest 1997, I visited Caicescu"s palace and so on. Care de Nord was horribele place, full of criminals.

[@alinasimoncini3604]

what did you find in shops, supermarkets, pharmacies in the last 80's? Such as disposable diapers for babies (Pampers or other brands of diapers), cosmetic products, soaps, perfumes. I ask for this information because I do not know how they used diapers on babies before the fall of the regime.

What’s funnier to me is that more Romanians back then spoke english than they do now 😂, a country so anti-west/east, so isolated, yet everyone and their grandmas knew a word or 2 of english

[@RomaniaOverpowered]

You're pretty misinformed then. People were allowed to learn a second international language of their choice. Surprisingly, not that many chose Russian , but French, German and English. And also, we have more English speakers in average than probably any other eastern European country right now as allot of us were raised with no dubs no subtitles Cartoon Network and stuff after the Revolution.

@@gojo76 ai sa fi surprinsa daca revii si aflii defapt cat de multa 'romengleza' se vorbeste. Daca ai fi sa te dai straina si ai pleca prin bucuresti sau alt oras mare din Romania, cu multi ai putea purta o simpla conversatie sau mai mult, prin simplul fapt ca noi consumam foarte multa media pe limba engleza, si ca este si obligatoriu ca copiilor sa invete engleza la scoala, intr-un mod relativ ok, ceea ce sporeste cunostiintele despre engleza, ii drept ca nu prea am fi cei mai buni in a comunica intr-un accest ok, dar comentariul tau initial, nu prea are logica, fiindca adresezi asta ca find un fapt, cand defapt nici tu nu esti 100% pe ce vorbesti, si dovedesti si asta, si daca vezi si prin comentarii, majoritatea isi spun parerile si experientele in engleza.
