    This is the first revolution that was, to contradict Gil-Scott Heron, televised.
    I found myself sobbing through the middle stretch of this last night. I recall watching CNN in 1989 on Christmas and how enormous a surprise the Romanian revolution was, but even more surprised in 2024 that the same footage provoked me to tears. It's absolutely gripping reportage from ITN crews who were very clearly in physical danger themselves, and they did such a heroic job capturing the courage of ordinary Romanians that week.

Even Moldova was more open than Romania at this point of time, also Yugoslavia, Hungary anyway. So Romania was surrounded and media and information spilled over into the country. At the same time Romania was in its deepest economic crisis ever since WWII. Even people within the nomenclatura didn't support the situation anymore, or their own children were trying to run away from the country.

    I was just a year old when the Romanian Revolution began in my hometown of Timișoara. Growing up, my parents made sure I understood the horrors of living under communism; reminding me daily of the nightmare it was. This is why I am deeply pro-Western and staunchly capitalist. It is a conviction I intend to pass on to my future children, ensuring that they, too, understand Romania’s path must never veer back toward the Russian sphere of influence.
    It is disheartening that less than 40 years after communism's fall, some Romanians have been misled into adopting anti-Western views. To me, this is a betrayal of the sacrifices made during the revolution and the progress we’ve fought so hard to achieve. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to stand firm against this regression. Either we are western, or we perish.

      Yeah, some people regretted just few years after his death, elderly who were left with a poor pension and people in poverty.
      They had no freedom or western products, but there was free housing and free medical care, pensioners had annual thermal spa holidays etc.
      Now they have freedom, but access to housing it's a dream far away and they have all the products in the world, but not enough money.
      People's primary needs (housing) will always take precedent over secondary needs (freedom), hence why they long for communism. Or you can ask them why, this is the standard answer.
      You'll never hear anything about regret from someone who has a decent lifestyle, never.
      I always let a tear out looking at the bravery and determination of the youth of 1989 and will never stop being grateful for their sacrifice and courage

      It depends on who are you talking to. While some regions in the country have greatly developed after the revolution, mainly Transilvania and Bucharest, others have been left severely depleted and with close-to-no hopes of improvements.
      Take for example the Jiu Valley and Southern Romania, whose mines and factories have been left to rot with no other job alternatives.
      It's quite nuanced.

    What is very telling is that after a few initial reports ITN appears to have made a decision not to mention that the popular discontent and ultimate revolution was not just against Ceausescu but against communism. Romania was depicted as a Ceausescuan dictatorship that began in 1965 when he took the place of the preceding communist dictator Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej when he died. Things were no better from the beginning of the communist dictatorship in 1947, the repressions were no less severe, human rights violations and police terror were part and parcel of communist rule from when they manipulated the elections to take power in Romania. Concentration camps were built already the, tens of thousands were arrested and many executed. So, the Romanian revolution was foremost an anti communist revolution, in spite of ITN's efforts (BBC's also) to minimize that aspect.

      It's the same in Russia now. Look at their conscrips. It's not necessarily about being a poor country, Russia its not poor. They just added more pouches to their military and got them to pay for their own bullet vest, and that's the improvement.

    but if you would like to hit the right kind of audience you would make the effforts to translate the lines to romanian, as those events happened in romania not in the united kingdom. All these english floating all around doesn't help the people who, in theory, you would like to understand what all the people are saying.
    it's a very wonderful feeling to wake up in the morning living in your bubble of safe haven but it would be trully helpful for YOURSELF to wake up and check reality for a change, that is if the ignorance in which you are living is too much to bear or if you want to form human bonds with other people from ROMANIA.

      No se de que riqueza me hablas ya que más de una cuarta parte de los jóvenes rumanos vive en riesgo de pobreza y exclusión, según Eurostat, tampoco te creas que estais muy lejos de paises suramericanos ya que el riesgo de pobreza en Rumanía se cerró en 2023 con un 21,1% de sus habitantes en riesgo de pobreza, superior por ejemplo a Chile y a poca distancia de Brasil
      En cuanto lo de alcanzar a España, lo que se esta alcanzando es a llenar España de mafias de explotacion sexual de mujeres rumanas y los calabozos de delincuentes de origen rumano, ya que segun datos del ministerio del interior uno de cada diez rumanos que viven en España tiene antecedentes policiales.
