On Christmas Day 1989, Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu the Dictator of Romania and his wife were stood up against a military building and they were executed by 8 paratroopers. They were shot with over 120 bullets, and the pair had been quickly convicted of a number of terrible crimes including the slaughter of 60,000 people, spending huge sums of money and destroying their own towns and cities. They had been deposed during the Romanian Revolution, however what crimes specifically sent them to their execution?

  • We went to Romania in 1988 when these two were in power. Armed militia greeted us at the airport and this was the theme throughout our stay. Locals had to report to the authorities if they had a foreigner in their home. There was hardly any food in the shops and what there was, was appalling. Romanians could not buy coffee, toothpaste and many other essentials so we gave these as gifts. These items were available in "dollar shops" where Romanians were not allowed to shop and where US dollars were the currency. At that time the Lei, their currency, was valueless but the currency exchanges were offering us one Lei to one pound. Romania is absolutely beautiful, we stayed on the Black Sea coast and in the Carpathian mountains in Transylvania. Romania should be a popular tourist destination and through this tourism might rectify the damage these two megalomaniacs caused.

  • Sharing history like this is vitally important, not least because it shows that no matter how much respect you have for your own police and military, large numbers of them will turn against the people and carry out the most brutal orders of a dictator. The worst part about this specific story is that no one talks about what happened to the police and military who carried out the orders of their dictator and murdered the citizens they were supposed to serve. Many of those people committed despicable crimes, from torture to murder and everything in-between, but no one mentions what happened to those people. As far as we know, all those cops and soldiers who murdered their own people were allowed to just pretend they didn't. It doesn't matter whether you're British, American, German, Australian, Canadian... if you allow a brutal regime to steal control of your systems of government there will ALWAYS be sociopaths in your military and policing who will not think twice about betraying the people. They might claim they'd never do such a thing, they might claim to be moral and that they'd refuse such orders, but history has proven over and over and over again that for many of them it's just not true, they will do it and claim they were "just following orders".

  • I have some mixed feelings about the show trial and execution of Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife, Elena. From what I heard and saw in this video, it seemed like a questionable form of due process, but when you realize how much the Romanians suffered under his "iron rule", and the way he managed the state, you begin to feel that due justice was meted out to the Ceausescu. Thank you for this eye-opening video of a dictator who met justice, however swift and violent it was.
