Nicolae Ceausescu LAST SPEECH
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Nicolae Ceaușescu (Romanian pronunciation: [nikoˈla.e t͡ʃe̯a.uˈʃesku]; 26 January 1918 -- 25 December 1989) was a Romanian Communist politician. He was Secretary General of the Romanian Communist Party from 1965 to 1989, and as such was the country's second and last Communist leader. He was also the country's head of state from 1967 to 1989.
His rule was marked in the first decade by an open policy towards Western Europe and the United States, which deviated from that of the other Warsaw Pact states during the Cold War. He continued a trend first established by his predecessor, Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, who had tactfully coaxed the Soviet Union into withdrawing its troops from Romania in 1958.[1]
Ceaușescu's second decade was characterized by an increasingly brutal and repressive regime-by some accounts, the most rigidly Stalinist regime in the Soviet bloc. It was also marked by an ubiquitous personality cult, nationalism and a deterioration in foreign relations with the Western powers as well as the Soviet Union. Ceaușescu's government was overthrown in the December 1989 revolution, and he and his wife were executed following a televised and hastily organised two-hour court session.[2]

Very good comment, you deserve more likes.
"Yo, Nick, can you say that again to this monkey's paw?"
Did they though? The majority?
@@70ajc You think that a revolution must be kicked off by the majority ? Simple thoughts. You have been brainwashed by modern speak.
I love the look on Ceausescu’s face when he knew the people turned on him. Every leader everywhere in the world should fear the people, not the other way around.
The Roman emperor Nero only feared one thing ......... an angry Roman croud. He fled for an angry croud and gave to a slave the order to kill him to avoid falling in the hands of the croud. Hitler committed suicide too. Napoleon was on Saint Helena Island. What will happen to Mister Putin??
@@hollandmeester347 European history has shown that tyrants and dictators tend to meet grisly ends. Look at what happened to Musolini in the end. Perhaps one thing that is consistent among all dictators is their delusion of reality. This is evidenced by the fact they don't learn from history

@@hollandmeester347 He, like Lennon and Stalin, will be enshrined in Lennon’s tomb. And like Stalin, a new leader will remove his body and bury him in a grave with a footnote in Russian history as a corrupt leader.
It is impossible to understate the brutality of the Ceauescu’s regime.
I was kid back then. I remember my father came back home shot in the leg. My father was a captain in the army was sent to defend the Airport to keep Ceausescu from leaving. My mother a doctor was kept at the hospital. I was home. Outside it was chaos, people shouting, you could hear gun shots. That's all I remember.
Thank you so much for sharing your memories. You've experienced the important history of your country.
So, was Romania under Ceausescu really so terrible ? Has he been unfairly demonized ?
@@70ajc it wasn't that bad. It wasn't North Korea. People had jobs, apartments, going to the mountains, sea side, safe streets. People had enough with the lack of diversity. Shops mostly empty, standing in line at supermarkets. Ceausescu was fooled by the security services, when he was visiting a supermarket for example they were filling it up, everyone had smiling faces. He didn't know the reality. There are people who miss that era so that should say a lot. There were no homeless. They were building apartment buildings for everyone, everyone was working. Some people were different and they wanted freedom, some moved away in USA and Western Europe. I don't believe Ceausescu needed to be executed. The people who were responsible for all the bad were mostly the secret services, Russian Influences and a few figures from the political stage that in the end, killed Ceausescu. It was an immense pressure from the outside, Romania had zero debt and Soviet Russia wanted Ceausescu dead or brought down from his title of head of state. Ceausescu wasn't a fan of what Soviet Russia was doing and so it became hated by the Russians but appreciated by the western world. And that was the first step in Romania becoming a friend or so called friend of USA, starting with the president of USA at that time visiting Romania for the first time. That was the end Romania being influenced by Soviet Russia. Basically changed sides, went on the western aide. It's not like Romania had a choice, as a nation Romania was never a fan of Russia, it was simply in a position, in a geographic location where Russia was too close.
@@Jack_The_Ripper_Here Thank you for that balanced overview. I was a naive teenager when all this happened but even then, I was shocked by the murder of the Ceausescu's and the very biased coverage in the UK. It's something that has stayed with me. As well as wondering if Romania giving up on the vision of a balanced and equal society for the boom and bust, and unbalanced, nature of capitalism was really in the best interests of their people as a whole.
@@70ajc no he was terrible mate. He destroyed our economy, whole country was religiously suppressed, for the last bit of his rule we had to go under rations and most of our people were starving, and he was just a shit ruler who literally killed his own people and thats why the army and the people turned on him. I remember hearing about people in my city being taken away and never heard from again if they spoke against him in any way. Moreover, many don't know this but he gave his wife the highest doctor honors in Romania even though she barely passed high school. Hope that gave you an insight
Romania deserves more praise for this. He ended like a 90s movie villain.
Look at his popularity in Romania today and you might be shocked. Over 60% are supportive of him today. How quickly we forget the past.
@@zaphodbeeblebrox9109Codreanu and the iron legion # is what Romania needs
And that is pretty much what the revolution turned out to be: a movie.
@@zaphodbeeblebrox9109 Not true. According to some completely inappropriate "study" by telephone to select people, 46% of the respondents considered that the quality of life was better before 1989. Perhaps they've phone called only unemployed people or something. The study is not representative to the actual population and I doubt that any significant % of the population would accept living with the censorship, total control, restrictions and severe food rationalization that were in place before 1989.
@@daeveren4120 it is true. Maybe youre talking about a different study and youve assumed im talking about the one you are aware of. When in fact im not.
I read a book that said the disturbance was caused by someone who got up and shouted, “ Timisoara!” in reference to the police crackdown that had occurred there, and it lit some sort of fuse. The people had had enough of him and he got what was coming to him.
I hope that person is proud!
there"was a priest that got arrested by the romanian police a few weeks before this speech if you must know now this happened when Nicole was in iran or some other country but it didnt help the fact that people was pissed at him for not doing anythıng upon returning so that played a role as well
im reading it now😂 and end up at this comment
Heyyyy also reading Homo Deus and came here to watch this because of it 😅
@@nadiabecker2531same!!!
It’s a weird thought that this video is an only 30+ years old
35 years old, to be precise!
He just knew it was over when everyone started shouting "Timişoara". For a bit of context on December 17, a revolution broke out in Timişoara (west Transylvania), and the Bucharest protest (which this speech is part of) was planned as a counter-action to what was going on in Timişoara. The 80 thousand people present in Bucharest were all moved to the city square by the communist regime and were supposed to stand besides the leader to send a message to the west. It commonly believed that a single person started booing Ceauşescu, and then a lot of others joined in, at which point you can see him freeze and stop mid-sentence. The person denying the praise of the leader is kind of a Romanian August Landmasser, mainly because nobody knows who the exact person really was, but there's a whole myth around him. The thing we can certainly say is that this person played a very important role in stomping the communist regime in Romania.
also they arrested a priest that the people loved priour to this so that played a part as well
This video is very interesting. The only version I saw was on CNN Cold War (Episode: Conclusions). They show the part up to the red screen when the live image was taken off air and implied that that he was finished after that since the crowd started rioting. I didn't know that he came back and finished his speech. I like the comment you made about one person booing and others joining in. There is a documentary called Elena Ceausescu Doctor Horroris. The man who yelled out "down with the tyrant, down with Ceausescu" describes how people started to disperse around him.
I'm sure they were worried they would be accused of being part of that dissent.
What does that word mean?
@@ElizabethMcCormick-s2nit is the name of a city in Banate.

When he told his people they would have to sacrifice even more, the collective anger rose up with such intensity that his time was up. You can see it in his face.

My girlfriend in the late 80's in Chicago was born and raised in Bucharest, Romania. She immigrated to the U.S as a ten year old child with her mother, sister, and brother, along with her Uncles family, not long after her father was arrested and disappeared in Bucharest. She said her father was a simple factory worker, ten hours per day, six days a week. He drank, and when he did, she said, he would often talk badly about the government, meaning Ceausescu....One late night the police banged on the door. They told her father that he didn't even need a coat, "you will be coming directly home", she told me she heard a policeman say. But she said her father, whom she'd never seen cry, was crying, telling her mother to take good care of the kids. She never saw her dad again. No word, no nothing. Ceausescu was a piece of shit murderer. He got what he deserved
That is exactly what commies told people and their family when they took away someone in my country (hungary) during the soviet regime. Fucking commies.
you forget to mention that the "soviet regime" was installed in hungary after it invaded the soviet union in 1941, killing millions. there is no comparison of juche romania and "soviet" hungary. moreover, hungary has gone back to its roots as a fascist far right dictatorship even today, something a Soviet tank army would have never allowed to happen.
BOBAH БОСС ЖМУР I think we’re talking more about the Soviet invasion in 1956 after Hungary tried to become a democratic country. Then the Soviets massacred all the civilians. Despicable commies
Exactly
@Pedro Vaz pure nonsense-compare and contrast the difference between living under Soviet or communism to American influenced regimes. You'll find that not, any American influenced governments fell and people have democracy, same cannot be said of communist countries where it's utter misery as proven here in Romania under this fraud tyrant ceaucescu.
He hadn't the slightest idea what's going on, he just lived in the bubble for twenty-five years.
@Cal Devans The Cadre He had no idea that people hate him. It happens in dictatorships, that leader isn't given true information by the officials, because keeping their positions is most important to them. So they try very hard to make matters look fine
Without the right to speak freely against a government and have a public debate of contrasts, you can't claim there's much validity to public "approval."
@Cal Devans The Cadre I was born in a soviet country and I can tell that all you say is bullshit
@Cal Devans The Cadre He thought that it was a demonstration for him, not against. He realized way too late, as you can see in his speech. I think the book "Democratizing Capitalism" also mentioned that, but it's been a while since I read it. I did a 2 week long project on this guy and believe me, he was totally oblivious to the situation.
Unconnected fun fact:
His death was determined way before his trial. They even went as far, as accusing him of 60.000 deaths during the revolution, even though it was just 1100
@Cal Devans The Cadre Just like Bulgaria.
When cheer shifts to angry roar; when fear fades away, the dictator trembles.
Well said.

I was in Germany then, a French TV streamed astounding coverage for hours including the executions. I'll never forget it - I was also astonished the many interviews by the TV channel - so many Romanians on the streets spoke excellent French.
This was common then. I was doing 4 hours of french language per week then. Now it is more english focused.
Romania is a francophil nation. Around 30% of our language contains words from french. France supported our independence, and we supported France in the franco-prusian war. And we were allies in ww1. General Henry Berthelot is a national hero in Romania. The first time in our history, when it was declared a day of national mourning, it was for Napoleon the 3rd. There are many more, but i try to keep it short for a yt comment. Peace! 🎉

@@Maria..Carina-y6x Appreciate! But I think some Romanians would re-phrase your comment 'Around 30% of our language contains words from french' as follows: Around 30% of the French language contains words from Romanian! Not a student of language but had good Latin: I was amazed as a child I could decipher some Romanian from my Latin competence. I mentioned this to a Romanian friend and he opined or should I say corrected me that Latin had its origins in the Romanian language! I don't think so but I enjoyed the surmise!

It's crazy to think that Ceausescu had just about every opportunity following this moment to take responsibility and attempt to moderate his policies to appease the uprising, but in nearly every instance he doubled down, accusing his opponents of being "traitors" serving "western interests" right up to his execution.
funny given that ceausescu in spite of being a domestic hardliner was just about the most pro-western leader in the eastern bloc, to the point that there's a lot of evidence to suggest the entire revolution was orchestrated by Soviet intelligence out of fear that he'd try to leave the Warsaw pact

It was similar in Czechoslovakia. The communist chief Miroslav Stepan spoke to the workers in the factory. It was November 23, 1989. The workers began to whistle. He didn't expect that. It was a legendary moment.
It is not shooting !!
So this happened like a domino effect. Cool!
Mr. Ceausescu was a great patriot
if that man were alive in this year 2023, then he would have prevented Romanian entry into the very pervert and Satanic European Union
@@Trancymindit did, but not like that. Romania was the last of the revolutions of the 1980s--Poland had a long struggle with Solidarity and the Baltic Republics of the USSR had been agitating for years. In November of 1989 the Berlin Wall fell and Czechoslovakia's communist government was done away with, too. Ceaucescu's overthrow happened right before Christmas. Besides being the last, it was also the ONLY violent revolution of that group. Why is still kind of uncertain but a commonly accepted theory proposed by political scientists and historians is that the regime of Ceaucescu was so brutal that the populace had to use a proportionate amount of violence to get rid of him.
However, to compare this to the end of communism in CZ just doesn't really work. CZ was much more industrialized and... civilized than Romania was. Things were pretty calm there, even in 1989. The Czechoslovak revolution was called The Velvet Revolution for a reason. The workers in Czechoslovakia may have whistled and protested but that's about all that happened.
The Velvet Revolution,
Anybody who thinks the crowd started rioting during Ceausescu's speech is completely mistaken. The crowd started PANICKING because of a sonic weapon, which had been brought to disperse the crowd in case of agitation, and was used too soon, for a minor incident. (You can hear it at 1:18 as a high whistle in the background.) Some say this was premeditated by an anti-Ceausescu faction of the security forces, in order to trigger chaos. Planned or not, that is exactly what followed. But people did not actually riot there. Most of them just left after the mass panic incident, going home or hanging around in the streets. A spontaneous crowd came together elsewhere, eventually starting a protest, which got really huge in a matter of hours, and got shot at by the army after sunset. My point: during this day, Ceausescu didn't yet have a realization that he is not in control. That will only happen next day, when he flees with a chopper, and is abandoned, then captured in the countryside with his wife.
Indeed?
I love how he didn't expected it. This is how all dictators should fall, with their people judging them. This should be an exemple for us citizens

An artist friend of mine lived in Yugoslavia during the time of Ceausescu. He told me that he would travel to Romania sometimes because art supplies were very cheap in Bucharest. He told me that people on the street walked about in abject misery; a look of sheer misery on every one of their faces. He would see a Romanian soldier from time to time make an appearance and people would scatter in panic. The soldier had a face that showed hatred for every thing and every one. Like a vicious hound!
Theyre all filled with Nothing but hate and violence. Its their character and values.
@@petekdemircioglu That's not true. The soldiers for example did not hate anyone, they were mostly village boys in their 20's who had nothing to do with communism and just wanted to go back home.

Im still laughing this
So we never got to hear the end of the speech. That must have been frustrating for regular listeners.
actually it was quite satisfying.
actually 90% of the people was taken by force to hear the spech
..0.00% was regular
I remember I was 10 years old when the Ceaușescu couple was executed, and I still remember that I was allowed to watch the news here in Norway, showing the dead bodies of them, on the news by my father, because it was a historical event, when communism was falling. I'm still very grateful for this, and felt it made an interest in politics and history inherent in me.
Same in Hungary.... I was ten. I was reading a book for children. IT was about a revolution of underwater creaters.. they had a dictator and they fought for their freedom. I was very suprised thet the book was available in Hungary. As the revolution started the book, the revolution happened in Bucharest. I remember my parents were talking about IT Románia earlier they were talking when the Romanian Dictator would be sent away. We knew the day was close... But IT came earlier that they thought.
@@nikocat2008 I'm glad both Romany and your own Hungary are free, democratic countries today, and part of the same Europe as me here in Norway. If I had the health for it, I would travel to Ukraine and help push back the Eastern, corrupt, criminal dictatorship of Russia. The same time I really, honestly hope that Russians might experience soon to also be part of the same Europe as us.
@@elvenkind6072 Ukriane used to have the same political system like Russia. They insult the Hungarian minorities who lived there for hundreds of years.
I very sorry for the Ukrainen people. They were attacked because of idiotic politicians.
I hate the West to pretend to support them... But they do not give them enough weapons to win.... And did not let them to agreed with Russians.
IT is like 1956 revolution in Hungary. They told is to fight because they will help. But the help of courde did not come. They used us to divide Russian forces between Cuba and Hungary. And we got a stonger dictatorship Than IT was before.
Eastern side of Ukriane damaged or occupied. In the Western side foreign compenies bought everything they can.
Everybody waiting they won against Russia... But they do not give them enough weapons to win...... :-(
But Ukrainen are Strong people. They will survive. One day they will realize what has happend.
I whish the peace and quick recovery after this war. I hope they will be EU members.
Your father was hard line nazi?
I don't know if you will answer me or not. But I would be grateful if you could tell us whether the general situation in Romania was better during the time of Nicolae Ceaușescu or now? Did Ceausescu really want the good of the country?
How did it have a relationship with powerful countries such as: America (United States) - England and the Soviet Union? Did he want to be independent? Were these countries involved in the Romanian revolution or was it all for the people and the army?
It’s strange how it all changed in a moment and he realised he was screwed !
It's wonderful isn't it. To see such a nasty piece of work start to get some payback and where it would finally end shortly. I wonder of he knew that his 30 years of living large was going to end like that if he still would've taken the deal.

I used to have Romanian neighbours in the block of flats I used to live in. Heard 'Alo' a lot if they were trying to attract attention, or if they were having a boisterous party and so on.
I liked his wife-a Nobel prize winning chemist! (not). Ceaucescue had chemistry professors write papers for her-she signed them.
sounds like Merkel
I heard she banned Chemists from getting certain products so they got around this by requesting them using scientific names which they knew she wouldn't understand. She then signed them off. Lol. Anyway, all's well that ends well. I'm glad she got a bullet. She deserved nothing less, as did he.

1:30 When you suddenly realise that you dont have much future left.....
That was just epic.
in short for those Interested in what occurred, there where protests from the crowd, there had been protests in other cities,Timișoara.This appears to be on the 21st Dec 1989, there was sporadic trouble in Bucharest , but the army regained control during the night.
The next day his defence minister killed himself in what appears was a botched suicide , i.e he didn't intend to die.
Ceaușescu was blamed for this which lost him the Army's support, the end result is the crowds angry at this death stormed the building Ceaușescu was in, Ceaușescu managed to escape barely by helicopter with his wife.
They flew to Snagov where he had a residence, they where arrested by the Police and handed over to the Army, that had no faith in him anymore. Ceaușescu was tried in a show trial and executed with his wife by a firing squad on Christmas Day, 4 days after this Video.
Fetesti. On air. Abbomben Paris, now bitte ;)

I think it's shows his paternal, condescending attitude with the people. He's like, OMG dealing with the masses AGAIN!?🙄
What impressed me most was Ceausescu's absolute self-assurance and arrogance. It ended badly for him of course (SPOILER: he was caught and executed) but his self-belief in his ability to argue with an angry crowd of thousands just shows you what dictators are made of. Most people would be scared shit but there he is, trying to impose his view on hundreds of thousands...

He wouldn't accept losing strategic independence to another country (most medicines from USA are made in China, whole industries moved overseas). He wouldn't accept getting a diploma without knowing how to read and do some basic math. Actually, 46 is taking all the wrong measures Ceausescu took, but you are too blind to see.

The Iron Curtain fell relatively fast during a period I hadn't access to TV or newspaper. Those events were a bit unbelievable for me having the cemented idea of the big enemy in the east for all those years. In Hungary the transition was peacefully during a period of months; in East Germany it was in weeks and only in Romania there was heavy fighting. It later became clear that the ones who took power there were all previous party members who weren't exactly innocent as well.
I remember a Romanian man from church, who, in the early 70's went with a load of bibles back to Romania...we never saw him again

Well , looks like Orban learned from Ceausescus mistake, borrowing from IMF.
Now, in 2023, the people of Romania suffer the very extreme cruel tyranny of the Satanic European Union
For those who have come here not knowing the context in which the speech was given, Ceauseşcu was reacting to public upheaval, both as a result of growing unrest in the eastern bloc and off the back of a massacre in Timişoara, the site of the first uprising in Romania.
Workers were forced to attend under threat of being fired. They were also told when and what to chant in response to Ceauseşcu's words. Too little too late for Ceauseşcu and his wife. This speech took place four days before their attempt at escape, which as we all know, was thwarted. They were hurriedly given a show trial, found guilty and executed.
The brutality of Ceauseşcu surpassed even the most violent standards, so to speak, of other Soviet regimes.
Who gives a FU*k
If anyone ever deserved the treatment, or payback, or karma for their sins and crimes it was this man. (And his sorry wife)
I would like to point that Ceaușescu regime was not an extreme of brutality. An average dictator. From my perspective as Romanian he was shot cos of food and basic good shortage in peace time. While not being under any sanctions. Payed external debt in 5 years with a slight proffit over paying in a longer period to avoid financial shock. He took decisions like that by himself, alienating communist party leadership and at that point he could have been the nicest guy in the world, it didn't matter. The ideea is to not alienate everybody at once. He managed to do exactly that without being especially brutal.
To understand the situation better, communism is more like a republic then a kingdom. Communists do not appreciate a guy who wants to rule for life. So yep, he alienated the public with communist economic policies and alienated his fellow communist high rank officials with concentrating too much power for too long. Zero support
