Romanian Revolution of 1989

The Romanian Revolution of 1989 was a series of riots and clashes in December 1989. These were part of the Revolutions of 1989 that occurred in several Warsaw Pact countries. The Romanian Revolution was the only one of these revolutions that forcibly overthrew a Communist government and executed the country's head of state.

The Revolution marked the end of the Communist regime of Nicolae Ceaușescu. Street protests and violence in several Romanian cities over the course of roughly a week led the Romanian dictator to abandon power and flee Bucharest with his wife, Elena Ceaușescu. Captured in Târgoviște, they were tried in a show trial by a military tribunal on charges of genocide, damage to the national economy and abuse of power to execute military actions against the Romanian people. They were found guilty of all charges, and immediately executed on December 25, 1989.

The Romanian Revolution caused 1,104 deaths,[citation needed] 162 of these occurring in the protests that took place from 16 to 22 December 1989 and brought an end to the Ceaușescu regime and the remaining 942 in the riots before the seizure of power by a new political structure, the National Salvation Front. Most deaths occurred in cities such as Timişoara, Bucharest, Sibiu and Arad. The number of injured reached 3,352, of which 1,107 are for the period in which Ceaușescu still held power, and the remaining 2,245 are for the period after the seizure of power by the National Salvation Front.

@VestitorulPrimaverii Itzi spun eu ce s a intamplat, au venit ratele de plata la imprumuturiile externe shi tampitul a vandut hrana populatziei sa plateasca datoria . Deoarece era izolat shi nimeni nu ii dadea bani. A chinuit cel mai mult populatia dintre totzi dictatorii din lagarul comunist.

Datoriile celorlaltzi au fost sterse oricum, numai Romania s a chinuit , Sarbii, polonezii , ung, totzi traiau mai bine ca noi , au facut datorii shi nu le - au mai platit.
