The RUTHLESS Execution Of Nicolae And Elena Ceausescu - The Romanian Dictators

Throughout History and the centuries, there have been many executions that have been carried out in different countries. But there have been many Dictators who were also executed after they fell from grace, and they were executed by their own people. In 1989 in Romania, the Christmas Revolution broke out and this resulted in the ousting of power of Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu. The Dictator and his wife had been in power for decades, but during the Revolution over 1000 died.
After days of violent protests, the Ceausescu's were flown out of a building but they were then arrested. The Dictator and his wife were then placed on trial and they were then sentenced to death for many crimes including genocide. They were then taken to the side of a military barracks which became a make shift firing range, and the pair were then executed.

    It is known as “click bait” …. an exaggerated (or false) title to attract unwary viewers. Every death mentioned on this channel is advertised as “ruthless”, “brutal”, or worse. Has there ever been an execution that WASN’T “ruthless” or “brutal”? More grating is the bizarre use of English in the commentary. Does anyone understand why the narrator says “the personal pilot of them” rather than “their personal pilot”, or “in 1974 he would become the president of Romania” rather than “in 1974 he became the president of Romania”?

If you see today a gun firing, you also see the people running away from the sound. Back in December of ‘89, I’ve seen people running towards the machine gun sounds. That’s how bad they wanted to fight against the system that starved us. They didn’t care anymore who and what’s firing at them. They just wanted a change. Thank you for this video. I don’t enjoy remembering this, but sometimes we have to remember the past in order to improve our future.

    My former dental hygienist was from Romania, as soon as the Iron Current fell she got out of Romania and somehow made it to the US. She was college age back then. She told me that all the years there no one ate fresh vegetables, it was always canned. Back in 2019 I visited Eastern Europe, including Romania. Had a tour of Ceausescu’s ‘People’s Palace’, a massive structure with over 1,000 rooms. The several huge rooms and halls we saw were lavishly furnished and looked very impressive but it was all for himself and to impress visiting leaders. Regular people never saw the inside, meanwhile they were starving.

    About your hygienist not having had any fresh vegetables in Romania, that reminds me about my visit to Romania in the early 80’s. The whole time (almost 2 weeks) we had firstly continental breakfast, then meat & potatoes for lunch and guess what, meat & potatoes for dinner. A family of 4 was with us on the tour. The daughter, 17, was vegetarian. All she ever had was 🥯 bread rolls & jam in the morning and potatoes for the rest of the day…… usually just cooked. We flew for 24 hours to Kairo from Constanta and a tour guide in Romania said, take something to eat the food isn’t very good in Kairo……. Little did he know, the food was excellent in Kairo. I asked our guide, don’t you eat any vegetables? He answered, yes at home we do, but in hotels/restaurants we want to give our guests the best and that’s meat.

    Hi fellow history buffs. Canadian here with a secondhand story. My dad worked in Romania for about a year in the 70s. Postal mechanization. Now my dad was always a pretty fit guy, but when he came back I barely recognized him, he was so thin. And it wasn't just being away from mom's awesome cooking. :) He would tell me and my wide-eyed brother about how he and his crew were given the best accommodations available, but they were nothing to us spoiled westerners. He said that no matter what he did in the restaurant, even going so far as to hold up 2 fingers, the most he ever got was one egg slithering around in oil. And my dad came from pretty humble beginnings. He said the same as another commenter about the airports - stark and scary with all the armed personnel. He was sure happy to Canada again. We take a lot for granted.

Before the thesis was submitted, she had the real authors murdered, to remove any evidence of her academic fraudulence.

    @sklenars It is a historical fact that Ceausescu left the country with no external debt. At that time, Romania was one of the rare countries that did not depend on loans from the West. Today, the debts are so high that it is impossible to pay them back, so countries become a kind of colony of their creditors. It's easy to achieve a higher standard of living when you're in enormous debt. However, sooner or later the price of that "democratic" illusion becomes too high - the loss of state sovereignty.

    The pain and suffering that Nicolae and his wife went through was NOTHING compared to the decades of pain, cruelty, starvation, and freezing cold that the Ceausescu's subjected their population to. The really, really interesting thing is how quickly their rule came to an end. It all happened in an afternoon. It just took one person standing in the crowd at a speech that Nicolae was giving (where, of course, in the best North Korea style, the people attending were _forced_ to attend) to say "no". And that was it. They were done.

Even outside of Romania there was no chance - the Soviet Union had not fallen at that time, and it was still a member of the Warsaw pact. So not even the European courts would go near it as they would have no jurisdiction. He was free to terrorise his population and did so, using the state organs to do his bidding - who were all equally terrified of him, but said nothing because at least they had a marginally better quality of life than ordinary citizens. As an example of the level of control: typewriters were banned in Romania unless you had a licence for one. Why? Because you might write something the government doesn't like. There was a government department that had samples of the output of every typewriter in the country and specialised in tracing them!

But then my husband and I ran into the street round the corner…and there they were, HUNDREDS mainly young people, looking angry, malnourished and very determined not to be chased away by the police forces. So many people died in those first days of the revolution. I‘ll never forget any of those moments! In January we had some hope that Romania would be on a good path to become a democratic country. But very soon we realized that the reactionary forces in the government were still very strong, even disguised as „reformed and humane“ .They stole the revolution from the Romanian people whose sacrifice they had only used to get rid of the Ceausescus. And slowly but surely it became clear to us what they had had in mind. So we left the country for good.

    When the Ceausecue's came to America during the Carter Peanuthead administration, they toured IBM in Texas. Before they arrived, the Ceaucescue's told IBM it would be a lovely gesture of importance to present Mrs. Ceausecue with a Fur Coat. IBM said, "No, we won't be doing that!" Mr. Ceausecue responded that he STRONGLY SUGGESTED they WILL be doing exactly that or IBM would suffer the consequences of their refusal! ‼️ IBM responded, "You may come and explore our facility if you wish and we will be prepared to give you a well guided tour! However, your wife will NOT be given a Fur of any kind from IBM!" I believe this tug of war continued for a time. Although the Ceausecues did eventually arrive and they did get a tour of IBM, that was all they got, because iBM never backed down and a Fur Coat was NEVER presented to these vile people, from IBM!

There was no justice done, besides the execution of those two. Romania remained under the communist rule (disguised as democrats), till this very day. And now, in 2023, their offsprings are in power, as well. I was on the streets of Bucharest in 1989, till was all over. Bullets had rained upon me, people died around me. I was (as many at that time), convinced that I was part of a revolution. It was all an act and that was cristal clear later. I left Romania in utter disgust and desperation and made a promise to myself, never to return. I did well...despite the fact that I will remain a romanian to my core.

At passport control there were armed soldiers and they kept our passports, which made me very uneasy. The airport there was basic. The windows had no glass at the top and it was snowing and freezing cold. There was a counter where you could get black tea, nothing else. We were there for 3 hours. I was travelling alone and it was awful. There was a weird atmosphere but I put it down to being in a communist country, which was a first for me. Eventually we got our passports back and got on the plane. There was no food or drink on offer and I just couldn't get warm. I was so relieved to land back in the UK. The following day the news was all over the TV and papers that tnere had been a coup in Romania. If I'd travelled back a day later I'd have been stuck there for days. I was incredibly lucky.

    I spent a pair of days in Bucharest in April 1987, two years before the revolution. Indeed, market stalls and food shops were almost empty and there were tens of people queuing for a few loads of bread, butter or milk. The only thing they seemed to have an endless supply of, were apples. Tons of them… armed police and military men were everywhere, buses were overcrowded and the very large avenues were almost empty of civilian’s vehicles. A very grim, dystopian sort of city. Too bad you didn’t make the effort to sort the photos chronologically.

And years later, when some scumbag tried to become a "leader", namely Dragnea, the Romanians once again stood against him. 2018. I truly hope that no dictator will ever rule Romania!
