In 1989, a wave of revolution swept across Eastern Europe, disrupting the Communist governments of Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary and of course, Romania. But how did the Romanian Revolution play out and why couldn't Nicolae Ceaușescu or the authorities stop it like they had done previously? And why did it end the way it did? With the same people still in power and the Ceaușescu's subject to a mock trial. Find out in this video, the latest in my very short animated historical documentaries (about history).

With 3 millions members of the communist party accomplices to the Ceausescu's politics... the civil war seriously continued for 10 years against the anti-Communists. From 1990 "Mineriades" to the assassination of the civil activist and journalist Iosif "Bebe" Costinas even in Timisoara in 2000. Provoking a tsunami of Romanian "economic" and not "political" emigration of the democratic opposition.

It's still to this day the second largest administrative building in the world, after the pentagon. And still the most expensive one valued at €4 billion. It's also proabably the only reason Romania could even survive if a Nuclear war were to happen, as it can withstand multiple hidrogen bombs, and host 1200 people+. (Along with the metro system also built by Ceaușescu). As terrible as he was, he did give romania some great opportunities (which were wasted and sold for parts after his death e.g romania was one of the first to be able to create and have a facility for artificial diamonds, got the technology through espionage but still. It was latter sold, all of it. Something which could have made hundreds of millions...).

@@ktm1125 " he did give romania some great opportunities" - Look at Romania from 1945 until 1990, and then look at Yugoslavia, or Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland. If you compare them, you will realize that Ceausescu did nothing for Romania. All he did was for himself. He built pharaonic projects for his ego, while the people were starving. He built massive industrial complexes, that consumed more than they produced, because he wanted to look good, while starving the people, taking away the heat and electricity in their homes. All the technological "breakthroughs" were either poorly reverse engineered, or gifted by the West, because the West hoped Romania could be an ally against the Soviets. Even the Romanian tank engine plans were gifted by Germany, but they were officially "stolen by spies", in case the Soviets find out about the engines. There were many Western companies who wanted to build factories in Romania, but Ceausescu sent them away. And there are people who still praise him, it's fascinating. " it can withstand multiple hidrogen bombs" - that's bull***t, it can withstand nothing. But there were bunkers built deep under the building, for the party elites.

@ad0lfchrist
@ad0lfchrist 2 года назад
nope. all live events especially the ones involving the "royal couple" of the Ceausescus were highly scrutinized by the Securitate (basically the romanian SS). If anything was seen on live tv, it means they wanted it to be seen, if not, the transmission would stop immediately. Which basically means the Securitate had already moved on from the Ceausescus at that point and were already planning and negociating for the new government. Even by allowing ceausescu to come out in front of the crowd they were feeding him to the wolves. Everything that happened afterwards only confirms this, but it's a really complicated story. it takes much more than a 3 minute video to understand even 10% of what was going on in Romania in those crazy few days. but this video gets the main things right at least.

@@electron8262 Actually it gets worse - in the 90's Bulgaria entered into a period of inflation...twice. It wasn't until 1997 though when the Bulgarian lev was pegged to the Deutschmark at an exchange rate of 1000 leva = 1 Deutchmark. Then in 1999 it became 1 lev = 1 Deutschmark and once Germany entered the Eurozone it became 1 Euro = 1.96 leva. It's predicted that by 2024 Bulgaria would adopt the Euro outright, but nothing would fundamentally change as Bulgaria is one of the countries with very low standard of living and really low wages especially outside the capital Sofia. As for the politics - last year alone there were 3 ellections for parlaiment and one for president. In the first parlaimentary ellection the ruling party GERB (whose popularity plumetted) won, but couldn't form a stable government, while the opposition bickered as well. In the second ellection, the anti-establisment ITN (Има Такъв Народ, translated for There is Such People), led by the showman and musician Slavi Trifonov, won, but the coalition broke apart fast. By the third legislative ellections (which were combined with the presidential), the Continuing The Change party (Продължаваме Промяната in Bulgarian), led by interim ministers Kiril Petkov (who was mired in controversy over his Canadian citizenship) and Asen Vasilev, won and formed a really odd coalition with the socialists, Trifonov's ITN party and the Democratic Bulgaria coalition (led by former minister of the early Borisov govenments Hristo Ivanov) with the sole goal to devoid GERB and the Movement for Rights and Freedom (considered as largely a party of the Turkish minority in Bulgaria) from any power.

We actually get quite a bit of recognition. People know us for being extremely stubborn over very little and never giving into outside influence. All for our little piece of the world. As the famous meme says "It's not much, but it's honest work". Which i feel best describes us. All sorts of immense powers tried over and over, to take hold of us, to control us, they even tried to devide us. Yet in the end we always pulled back together, and regained control over our small piece of the world. And for all that i'm proud to be Romanian.

After they arrived there, Ceaușescu took Maluțan into the presidential suite and ordered him to get two helicopters filled with soldiers for an armed guard, and a further Dauphin to come to Snagov. Maluțan's unit commander replied on the phone, 'There has been a revolution . . . You are on your own . . . Good luck!'."

Honestly, all comunist countries have this problem. Bcs you can't just move from comunism to democracy and expect everything to change. People who were communist, will still be around and have power even tho the country is technically democratic. To transition to a point where the soviet puppets will truly be democratic with no communists in power will take at lest 2/3 generations. So that there no longer will be actual parts of the communist regime alive.

Every letter is a sound and every sound is a letter. Romanian is really easy to read: just say the letters in quick succession. C followed by e or i sounds like "ch" in cheer (if not followed by those 2 letters it would sound like k), e is always like e in desk, a is always like a in park, u is like oo in school, ș is like sh in sheep, s is always s, c is like c in cool. So it would be pronounced like Ch-e-a-oo-sh-e-s-k-oo. I noticed lots of English speakers pronounce our names ending in -escu as -esq, but it should sound like -eskoo.

In Montenegro former communists still rule the country. There are huge protests there at the moment as the country tries to seize almost all church property to be sold for profits. Their excuse for this action is that in Montenegro dominant church is Serbian orthodox church, and since Montenegro became independent they try to prove they are a completely different nation than Serbs. They have proclaimed that official language in the country is Montenegrin despite it being almost identical to Serbian (there are for example even less differences than between American and British English). They have invented 2 new letters in their alphabet just to prove that. They also prefer Latin alphabet since Serbs use Cyrillic. Despite all this there is still a huge Serbian minority in Montenegro, so they try to destroy them in various ways (in peaceful ways, but intolerance is obvious). There are almost no Serbs in police, many Serbs are paid 500 € (around 550$ which is a lot of money here) to declare themselves as Montenegrins and few days ago just before protests started they have arrested Serbian minority in their parliament. As they try to promote unofficial and unrecognised Montenegrin orthodox church instead of official, recognized Serbian orthodox church, many Montenegrins also joined the protests. It is also worth noting that in both Serbia and Montenegro there are sort of "soft dictatorships", as presidents of both these countries try to present themselves as democratically chosen presidents while rigging elections in their favor, destroy counties economies for their personal profits and try to promote nationalism to divert public attention from their actions.

Not true. In North Korea everything is shit. Communist Romania sacrificed the living conditions for the state. It was the strongest Eastern European country economy wise, and its leader hated the Russians. Guess what. Now, after the revolution, Romania is in a continuous decline. Everyone used to have a job. Yes, before we had to sit in a 2 hour line to get gasoline, and electricity would regularly go out, but those were the 80s, and in compensation nobody had to pay for apartments or other things, they were free(or dirt cheap). But now hundreds of thousands of Romanians are leaving to work in other countries being work slaves for years until they can finally retire and realize that they wasted their life in Italy/Spain, not visiting it, but working. They are being separated from their families for years right now, just because most of their salaries go to the politicians. Before, women would receive more and more subsidies if they had a big family. Families were encouraged, now it's the opposite. Also, Romania's population is in continuous decline ever since the revolution. The newly established government immediately sold off every single bit of industry to pay off the politicians and now the corruption is at an all time high. Also, Moldova is right at our fingertips(most of it anyways) and these bozos don't even care. Moldova really needs us since it's the only country in Europe that is more fucked up right now than we are. The corrupt only care about which party will rule next. It doesn't matter anyways since both of them steal from the people. Now tell me, which one of these situations will you choose?
