The footage of the helicopter flying away sent chills down my spine
For me as well.
Also when I editet the part with the lyrics "Tell them we've gone too far" and the crowd going out on the street I had massive chills man
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
What a revolution the Romanian 1989 Revolution was! A general civil uprising with accompanying military mutiny and rebellion. It certainly stands out among the Eastern Bloc revolutions.
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".
Coup d'etat!!
My grandpa: "it was chaos, we all tought we were going to die. We had no room to take a step forward because of the dead covering the ground"
Mfs in 2024: "ah yes, let's slap happy nation over that"
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. The people who have died made this happy nation that we have today. I believe we can make it even happier.
Just google happy nation meaning and you will see that you are kinda unfair .
Thats the point. The song is used to show a UNHAPPY nation.
Skill issue
The meaning of the song is literally the opposite of a happy nation..
It's like in a bad relationship: like, your partner forces something upon you, makes you pretend you are happy with it, and then gets stunned when learning that your happiness wasn't sincere.
Exactly, he was constantly lied to, the Soviets used him as an easy to control puppet so their eyes would be on him, not them or the NKVD, etc. Every time he went into stores per example it was made "fully stocked for him" despite more than half of it being fake painted produce/food.

He made many mistakes but the socialist doctrine couldn't let him do good for the people.

I was just six years old when Ceausescu fled from Bucharest in his helicopter - I can remember my dad watching the news when he gave that speech and the people started booing him. He knew he was done for, so he and Elena fled like the criminals they were. I should say here I'm not Romanian, I just know a bit of this history.
Sa traiasca România libera!
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.
@@alfisti93 Exactly. But I don't think the person you've replied to will listen to the truth. I'm not even Romanian, and I know about Decree 770 - it was insane, and I can't imagine what living through those times was like.

It's very interesting. Ceausescu was jailed in prison during the time of fascist dictature in Romania. Macellariu was an admiral of Romanian Navy during this time. The first of them is called a criminal in modern Romania, but the second is a national hero.
What do you mean with this?
@@Fulmine177 they mean that Romania had strong nationalism, and during the socialist rule it is not fascist as the control is collective. Even though some revolutionaries become cults of personality, it is a different story. That strong nationalism in Romania, during those times, just basically tried to create DPRK of Europe though Albania already was that. If socialism is nationalist, it will break because of its low productivity with violence as what Romania have gone through. And basically, that nationalism conflicts with the ideas of Karl Marx's communism, specifically the stateless society as nationalism aims to preserve a country.
Macellariu was also jailed for 16 years during the communist regime. One was an admiral fighting in WW2 against the USSR, following orders to keep his country existing, the other one was a dictator giving the orders, who starved his people while he build immense vanity projects like the Palace of the Parliment. Yes very interesting indeed, the distinction must baffle you. I hope you can make sense of it some day.
@@qrup333 who told you that the USSR wanted to destroy Romania? And why did Romania exist after WW2? Why did the USSR save it as an independent state after the Soviets' victory?
About Macellariu. He got the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross from Hitler. Do you really think he was a good guy? And how did the Romanian soldiers defend the Romania on Volga in 1942?

Apart from the hard hats on construction sites and the cars a lot of this looks as though it was filmed in the 1950s !
some footage is from 1955, death of Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej (the first communist leader of Romania), speculation is that he was irradiated by the Soviets, long story.
this gave me an idea to make an edsa version
HAPPY NATION, LIVIN’ IN A HAPPY NATION! happy nation, livin’ in a happy nation.
Bro this fire
DDR was the best eastern block nation to live in, Romania the worst. Strangely Ceausescu seems to have more nostalgia amongst modern day Romanians than comparatively better regimes in Poland or the baltics do. I suppose it's because he was patriotic and was sovereign from the USSR despite being an incompetent leader.
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?)
Romanoa 🇷🇴 under Ceausescu was anything but a happy nation
These are some amazing footage, great job compiling it all. I understand how terrible the living conditions were in Communist Romania compared to other Eastern Bloc states (Like my own Georgian SSR) and I'm not here to defend it one bit, but _DAMN_ am I suprised at how good their architecture was! Late into the 1980s they were still creating the kinds of neoclassical buildings that you'd only really see in late 19th or early 20th centuries, except paired with modern construction innovations, to create colossal masterpieces like the Palatul Parlamentului. One of the biggest reasons why I have an appreciation for Communism is how tasteful the people and their creations were, no sterrilized corporate glass spikes, but _actual_ pleasing architecture. Unfortunately, only the villains have good taste in our modern day and age... That's not to say the modern oligarchs are 'the good guys,' though.

In al doilea rand, statul iti cere impozite, cum este si normal. 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.

I witnessed the collapse of the Eastern European communist regimes as a cold war kid in the Netherlands. It was shocking to me, but positively shocking.
But now I am wondering about one thing. I know that Dacia bought the designs of the Renault 12, but also of the Renault 20? I see a Renault 20 like model twice in this video.
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.

No Ceausescu=sad nation
1:00 Mihail Sadoveanu… a big prozator!
Also a communist...
Not a Happy Nation but a Sad Nation.
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
Eastern Europe in 1989 and 1990's:
Didn’t he change his political doctrine to an oppressive regime one only after visiting Mao’s China? I remember that he was one of the main leaders of the ‘Warsaw Pact’ that connected, through diplomacy, the West (aka US) with the East (aka USSR), bringing also progress and modernization, this all before his visit to Beijing
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.

Romania depends of what ``that bad man`` did to romania i mean roads,buildings,factories.After the revolution all that ceausescu build are now destroyed
Please open a history book. View the whole perspective
Yea now they are kind of puppet of nato@@AccountNo-fg8fy
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.
@@andreitaga5988 they are kinda like the people who say saddam was good
@@andreitaga5988 who writes your history books? Shock Therapy ruined Bulgaria as recommended by economists like Jeffrey Sachs. Causescu indeed introduced austerity, but it was to repay debt trap by the IMF and World Bank. Exactly the same problem African and South American countries experience. You either repay the debt as quickly as possible, or your whole country becomes enslaved forever. Kwame Nkruma, first president of Ghana, wrote a book called "Neo-Colonialism, the Last Stage of Imperialism" for which the CIA killed him. Don't hate Causescu, what he did was not without precedent or logic
Fucking creepiest song to have ever made it to the top of the charts. It's crazy to think that this is the same band that sang "I Saw the Sign."
Good band nevertheless, it's hard to make creey and happy songs at the same time
Why is it creepy?
On December 22 1989 Romania condemned the united states for the invasion of Panama and overthrow of Noriega. Later that day he was overthrown
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...
I will not defend Ceausescu here. It's just that when I was watching a documentary about him, I thought: "I'm not the type to understand everything, but the question. Why was Ceausescu executed along with his wife, and not imprisoned for life, for example. My wife was also executed". And also, the music is awesome. I love her very much.
Ceasusecu was executed because there were worried that there would be a counter revolution
His government fell quickly, and large parts of the army and secret services were still intact and their loyalty was in doubt
We were so lucky in Bulgaria to have Todor Zhivkov instead of such a psycho.
It was a peaceful transition right?
As someone who has several relatives that have been in a hard time with this Terrible guy,i agree
Необходимо ликвидировать капитализм, частную собственность, конкуренцию, бюрократию, рыночную экономику, рынок недвижимости, риелторскую деятельность, рынок ценных бумаг, биржи, предпринимательство, маркетинг, рекламу. Слово "бизнес" пора забыть. Всё должно быть национализировано. Общество должно быть бесклассовым.
Нужна мировая революция. Только мировая революция способна ликвидировать социальное неравенство. Нужно ликвидировать всех классовых врагов.
Предприниматели (бизнесмены) - это спекулянты, ростовщики, эксплуататоры. Они классовые враги.
В обществе, основанном на эксплуатации, высшей моралью является мораль социалистической революции.

1947-1989 ruined Romania. Yes there were certain developments but they are outweighted by the terrible consequences of Communism
@@andreitaga5988 Yes, Romania was terrible, but... What did your "ruler" do to you that you decided to execute his mother on live TV?
Да, освободили. Но они стали свободными и стали сами управлять своей судьбой
Soviets were never liberators. They just kicked out the n4zis so they could install their own puppet regime.
Освободили Польшу, до этого эти же земли с ними делили, освободили балтийские страны, Карелию) освобождение от жизни
