Palace of the Parliament, Bucharest

what do you mean by western subsidies?

Look into the history regarding US (esp.) support, and how that was used - pretty interesting.

sry m8 but this palace was made entirely with romanian materials (the gold, the granit, everything).

Don't worry about it m8, I never mentioned building materials. I clearly said 'western subsidies', which was used by Ceausescu to create this monstrosty, as well as other 'white elephants'.

Wait.Those were not subsidy.Are you insane?We did not export anything to you.They were loans and they were paid, every cent.And yep, thnx, ceausescu was garbage but you did a good thing to support him, he did a few good things.Too bad most people are still ignorant of his mistakes.Besided he bought canadian reactors not cernobil reactors ... i mean he was not so bad in intent.He lacked practice.

and you're an idiot.
