      You are a very badly misinformed person to say that about comunism of România. Do some research about Romania in the 70’ as well! Ceaușescu was the only lider in history who payed all national debt and Romania was 100% suveran. Then the world leaders didn’t like the an executed him on a Christmas Day just for the to be able to destroy Romania in the last 35 years! At the moment Romania has a national debt of 200 billion dollars and all the natural resources are given as collateral for the borrowing sum! Don’t tell us who Ceaușescu when you probably are about to 16 years of age and your mama still wipes your ass

    This is such a comprehensive and thorough review of his life! I'll never forget the news footage of Ceausescu's fall in 1989 and it was shocking to see rows of bodies laid out in the streets - so different from the celebratory events around the fall of the Berlín Wall. Nobody mourned his death and I think he was seen as an old-style tyrant, but nobody in the UK, where I lived at the time, really knew anything about him.

    I felt like adding that after they killed him and his wife meaning comunism was over, the business gurus from abroad rushed in to the country and bought factories hospitals universities,stores whatever they thought it would bring them profit.
    When they didn't get the profit they expected they closed everything and left Romania.
    Now, romanians were out of jobs and forced to go abroad and work in Germany England Spain Italy living the kids with grandparents.
    The kids would ask grandparents " when is mom and dad coming home grandpa?
    Many marriages broke after couples went abroad to make a living.

      False, after the 1989 revolution, the communist nomenclature formed FSN (National Salvation Front) that through frauded elections and harsh intimidation (the mineriads), gained power. They were against foreign investments with the slogan "we don't sell our country" and turned away foreign investors that wanted to pump billions in newly "democratic" country.
      Then, almost all the communist factories were privatized for laughable prices to the political nomenclature and their close ones, and since these people had no capital or intention to invest, they were all sold to scrap metal and the land to developers, making some of the "elites" extremely rich. After several rebrandings, these elites are still in power as the leaders of the current political class.
      They also have a way of maintaining the power by fabricating opposition and fueling it, in order to keep low the real opposition. Most of the today's "suveranists" are nothing more than the second or third echelon of the parties that were in power since the revolution, and are just as controversial and corrupt.

    • @ArianeQube
      @ArianeQube 28 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      You sound like a Calin Georgescu voter 😂. “They sold our country”… The privatization mostly failed precisely because of the unimaginably corrupt politicians in Romania who wanted to take bribes from everywhere. If a company was unprofitable, it’s owner would leave, obviously, as is common sense on a free market, but why could most of these companies not develop and become prosperous ? Again because of unimaginable corruption at every level. And the extreme poverty of the 90s in Romania was not caused by “foreigners”, it was caused by a socio-economic system that totally and absolutely collapsed in 1989. Actually quite a bit earlier. You think Romanians lived any better in the 80s ? I am old enough to clearly remember those times, and the answer is no, they did not, if anything, it was worse.

    The main charge was genocide. Romanian state television announced that Nicolae Ceaușescu had been responsible for the deaths of 60,000 people; the announcement did not make clear whether this was the number killed during the Romanian Revolution in Timișoara or throughout the 24 years of Ceaușescu's rule.

      YES, it was a gift of Jesus Christ !!!
      I stood for 18 hours in Timisoara, from 21st to 22nd December. Now and again, someone invited us to kneel and pray the "Our Father". I raised my head and looked around to see if anyone didn't participate to the prayer. EVERYBODY, thousands of thousands of people, were on their knees, heads down and praying.
      The temperature was unusually high, around 15 degrees. As soon as Ceausescu was executed, in a few hours, the temperature dropped and it started snowing, covering all the dirt and made me feel such peace.
      After a few days, in a TV broadcast, a writer said "When God decides to lose (destroy) someone, He first make him blind". He was talking about the fatal error Ceausescu made when he gathered the people in Bucharest, sure he could convince them.

    In the recesses of my mind, when someone speaks of dictators past and future, I for some reason come to think of Ceausescu of Romania. I don't know why, I have no tides in the country. There have been more infamous leaders. Is it the Glad the Impaler connection? I detest vampire lore. Could it be thoughts of how I heard growing up, how abandoned Romanian children, were given out for adoption to parents who discovered that much of the kids in time were so emotionally and mentally damaged from Romania's terrible orphanage conditions, that they would develop psychopathic natures to be threats to their new families.

    Thank you for this documentary. In 1989, I was in high school in the US and I remember the news covering the revolution against Ceausescu and his demise. The two other bits of information I was given about him was the ban on abortion and contraception and that he was a really bad guy.
    I always wonder when someone is labeled bad, evil, tyrannical, etc, did the times make the person or did the person make the times?
    In Ceausescu's case, the answer seems to be both.
    Like many dictators, he seemed to have been a dyed in the wool supporter of the ideology he held, truly believing his actions would benefit Romania, when in reality the consequences benefitted very few.

    As a romanian, it's always disappointing when I see documentaries like this one. I would day that it is half correct from my view. You make out in the middle part that he was some kinda of diplomatic and economic genius. No. He wasn't. He was a dumb person, both him and his wife, who's main preocupation was to plaster his face on every bilboard and books he could. The people behind him we're responsible for all of his "achievements". As you said, the compromise candidate. They made sure he was happy and did what was needed. It started unravelling when his ego bloated to extremes. His "genius" mind is always fascinating to see when he speaks. Always reads from a paper and the way he speaks and struggles to formuate phrases reminds me a person with mental disabilities. The people behind him knew how to manipulate him to such a degree that he was absolutely clueless of what was happening in the country. He thought the economy was booming and that average romanians we're so happy, when in fact it was pure misery. All his visits in the coutry we're staged. Food was delivered from kilometers away just to stick the empty shelves of the stores he was visiting so as to make it appear to him that everything was fine. And the men behind him also made sure he and his wife we're swiftly executed as to not have a chance to name them at a trial. I do apreciate documentaries like these but it seems sometimes that people who should not be put in a good light, accidentally end up in it. This is the feeling I have with this documentary and with the Stalin and Lenin ones.

    1. I must say, Ceausescu was a patriot to the core of his heart, almost everything we see these days is thanks to him, he is the one that truly built Romania from zero to hero, he built milions of apartments (funny that many of those who bring bad words to Ceausescu benefited from the apartments Ceausescu build, and live happily in those apartaments which are valued today at around 100k EUR; talking about hypocrisy), he built roads, hospitals, schools, subways, airport and many more.
    2. Once Ceausescu announced on december 1989 that starting January 1990 all Romanian will receive incresed salaries, increased pensions, increased kids allowance and many more, and people were yelling of happiness, some "actors" rushed to kill him on december 25th 1989 on a big religious holiday, to prevent him from rewarding the people for their hard work, and to maintain the Romanian people's frustration so that the coup d'etat would be fed to the people as a "revolution". Romanian people were dragged in a fight not knowing what the fight was really about; people literally died for someone else's interest... may God rest them in peace.
    3. Mark my words, Ceausescu did not die because he was a comunist, he was killed because he was a patriot. Big difference. Ceausescu was way too smart and other leaders simply hated him for being able to build Romania so well, it's a hate combined with high level jealosy and envy, they simply hated his guts. However, regardless of what the media says, what the history books writes, what the schools say, and regardless of what the current political system that benefited from Ceausescu's assasination say, the Romanian people are waking up to the real, hard core, difficult to accept reality, that reality in which 1989 was an undeniable coup d'etat, a plan executed meticulously to the very last detail.
    4. Ceausescu was undoubtly one of the strongest leaders of Romania and quite posibly at a larger international scale, and an undeniable patriot who gave his life before giving the country to traitors! Eventually the traitors killed him and took the country anyway. Today, January 2025, we look back and see that all the leaders that came to rule Romania since 89, all of them without a doubt, have sold Romania piece by piece, and sold whatever Ceausescu built, destroyed production in the country, led to high levels of poverty, beggers on all streets, drugged children, missing children, high level taxation, and built in 35 years almost nothing, however they did gave us the Romanian people a big fat debt of almost 200 billion Eur that were invested NOWHERE except in their big fat pockets, and we are expected to applaud these clowns and traitors? No way! Imagine all of this sistematic destruction of Romanian economy started in 89 right after Ceausescu brought Romania in 89 to zero ZERO debts, managed to pay it all back... and then they killed him. Even if Ceausescu led Romania in the last years of his rule with an iron fist, you can't deny his work, patriotism, and contribution to Romania.
    To stay blind and not see how all the leaders since 89 until now have brought nothing but external debts, is to be really stupid and undeniably retarded, because you can't understand what such a high debt really means for a country.
    5. Anyway, regardless of how the external actors wanted to film his death and destroy his image from a strong leader to a powerless man, their satanism didnt work, cuz Ceausescu died with dignity, died as a strong man, as a patriot, showed no fear, and even said before his assasination: "I'd rather die in fight with complete glory, than to ever be a slave again on our old land!", a patriot until the very last moment.
    May all involved in the coup d'etat face God's wrath, and may all people that lost their lives in 89 and all members of Ceausescu family rest in peace and God forgive them all!

      I find Ceausescu interesting and over-demonized because his policies were a departure from the cosmopolitan anti-nationalism that was supported in Europe by both Moscow and Washington on both sides of the Berlin Wall. And that is why Ceausescu is often perceived as almost the worst communist of the Eastern Bloc, while the previous Romanian leader Dej or Tito are not receive as much negativity. Despite they are also dictators much like half of the world leaders during cold war era.

He did not die because he was a communist, he was killed because he was waayyy to independent and strong, and cuz he paid off all romania's external debt. Now, we have a debt of almost 200 billion Eur! Countries around the world love to see us forever dependent on debts, forever paying debts and never ever become a strong independent nation.
