The shock had to be massive for this guy. The A&E documentary said this speech was the first time he ever heard boos from an audience. If only every dictator faced such a moment of justice and truth.
@@spektrumyt. a hero? A FREAKING HERO?! The man who was responsible for mass surveillance, severe repression and human rights abuses, the man who suppressed and controlled the media and press, the man who mismanaged oil ventures throwing Romania in huge debt, who then exported almost all of the country's production in an effort to repay said debt, leading to drastically lowered living standards and freakin' food, water, oil, heating, electricity and medicine rationing was a hero? Are you out of your mind?!? You goddamn communists make me sick.
@@spektrumyt. you're not even Romanian, you clown! You have no idea what my family endured during the communist regime. Yet you have the audacity to answer back instead of apologizing!!!
@@vernonbrowne6127 LOL the very people who executed them were their henchmen and kept their power. People like Ion Iliescu were no better than Ceausescu.
Hector Herrera oh !!! I see !!here in Greece the tv Chanel’s said 5 days before those speeche ,that everything is all ready done !!! The communist is dead in Romania
Read about this moment in Yuval Noah Harari’s Home Deus. “Communist Romania crumbled when 80,000 people in the Bucharest central square realised they were much stronger than the old man in the fur hat on the balcony.”
At 2:56 you can hear a man saying “Să vină tancurile!”. That means “Bring out the tanks!”. He didn’t realise all the crowd and television heard him because of the microphone.
@@mithunsivan1989 I was 21. I wouldn't assume any merit as revolutionary as I wasn't one of them. But I can tell you, at that very moment the young people took the faith on their hands and oppose for the first time to a maleficent regime. All those who claims that on those times was better than today are either exponents of former regime or to young to understand what is real communism. All of those persons cry after Ceausescu and blame its swift execution. However, nobody remember or refer to hundreds/thousands dissidents slowly executed by the Securitate and communist regime in Romania. Yes, the life is hard in Romania. But, if I would come to be pleased for a piece of bread instead of freedom, I would call once again for a revolution in Romania, irrespective the costs.
Communism killed so many people, caused genocides and cannibalism. Communism killed more civilians during the 20th century than all the people that died during WW2.
Man that look on his face is chilling. It's like he cannot comprehend what is happening. As it dawns on him he cannot control the situation he looks pathetic. This is wonderful and terrible at the same time.
Mostly wonderful. Nicolae has an inkling. Elena is still clueless. And was, right up to the moment the final bullet entered her. It's fun to see communists get their just desserts.
Hello guys, I'm from Romania and I'll tell you what "hallo" means. 1. It's not "hallo" or "halo". It's "alo" "Alo" means "Hey?". 2. "Alo" is useful when someone is not listening and you want their attention.
Makes this part of the speech. From an English speaking perspective understandable. As the translation shown here make it look like his microphone was not working. If you catch my drift.
Baris Cankaya Was that part of Romania occupied by the Ottoman Turks? Hungarians were occupied by the Ottoman Turks for almost 2 centuries, 9% of the Hungarian language is Turkish loan words.
I'm a huge history buff of European history from the nazi period up to the fall of the ussr! This moment right here has fascinated me for years! We all hear and read about how the different regimes of the era came to an end but to see it play out before your eyes is chilling!! This guy was literally "the man" for 42 years and within a matter of seconds it's all over! To see the look of fear and confusion on his face when he realizes his gig is up is so haunting! It's just so unique and amazing to watch this unfold right before our eyes and his! Definitely one of the most interesting parts of history during that time!
You damm right Paulie, It is awesome to see this changes on his face and the clueless reaction. I grew up in Poland, and however Polish socialism wasn't that harsh, due to the character of Polish people, that are in most parts more rebellious than others, huge polish diaspora in the west etc., I truly hate communists because I saw the damage they did to many countries, my family and families of other people, the totalitarian style of governance and more and more reasons you could give and discuss. Another example of that communist evil ideology is Venezuela. What those bandits do to once such a awesome country is beyond comprehension. People killed, starved, kids dying of malnutrition... it just make you angry and on the other hand makes you powerless and wondering why, for what reason it is happening,and the worst is seeing the world doing very little to help. Americans, Russians, Syria entire Middle East screwed for interests of a group of selfish people, Perhaps I am too old to comprehend all that.
This guy rise up the country and was "the man" between 1966-1989. Not 42 years. And what this guy do in this time for his country was awesome. In 30 years after that, Romania was destroyed. We didn't kill him. Russia,USA an England kill him. Is no future without sacrifice. We must understand that. How many soldiers died in Vietnam,Irak,Siria,etc to maintain economy of USA. Ceausescu did't attack other people. He starved his own country...
I'll tell you what's amazing...He banned abortion approx. 17-20 years prior. By doing so, he didn't realize he was committing to his own downfall. Those teenagers (highschool and college individuals) who took to the streets and protested; demanding his execution could have been prevented! Had he not banned abortion, those individuals would not have been the death of him. That is what I call IRONY!
@@Ceausescu_Nicolae He didn't do shit. Romania was developed under Dej and Maurer, Ceausescu ruined everything they build. We need to stop with this myth of Ceausescu building Romania. He didn't do crap. He just continued what his predecessors did - build industry and shit, on borrowed money. Then the check had come on his term, and he was unable to pay because his economic policies were a total failure, and from then on started the austerity. This is the ''awesome'' truth about the Ceausescu regime... it's so sad that instead of making this clear in school and society we let this mythology build around him.
@@TypOPositiv Uh? What? It had nothing to do with abortions, and nobody protested against him or asked for his death for death... peoples were too cold and too hungry to care about that.
What you don't see in the film is that right when he restarts the speech, after the confusion in the crowd, a part of the crowd had already regrouped 400 meters away, near the Intercontinental Hotel (PIata Universitatii) and was already rallying against Ceausescu. You can see footage for that in videos named "21 decembrie 1989 Piata Universitatii"
@Vojnik SFRJ dal si normalan. Ljudi su sedmicno dobijali 2 jajeta i 2 hleba. Ko god je pokusao da pobegne iz drzave bio je ubijen kao svinja. Sve sto kaze Caucesku je tako ili si mrtav covek. Narod je bio puka sirotinja dok su ova dva kretena imala 50 vila i milijarde u svajcarskoj banci. Ako ti se svidja ovaj rezim idi slobodno u Severnu Koreju pa tamo zivi. Verovatno je u Koreji i bolje nego sto je tad u Rumuniji bilo.
Mark Leckey Did you see the look on his face? It was priceless, I would love so many in this world, banking cartels, the FED, people who have all the power and destroy us while smiling to have that same look on the face. BTW, if you are a liberal, you will have that look soon.
It's not "hallo". It is actually "alo" and is equivalent to "hey" in english. We, romanians, use it when we want to draw someone's attention to us because they're not listening.
I was a part of all of this and experienced All the pain that these poor Romanians had to go through under this dictatorial regime don’t let it happen in this country folks.
@@malcolmnicoll1165 but the boot on your neck is rainbow colored! And they have bug burgers to replace the food you cant get now. You don't like that? What are you some sort of nazi? Off to re-education camp for you where you can learn about trans rights.

I was not born at the moment this happened, as I am only 14, but my parents have both lived through and participated in this historic event. I am fondly fascinated by this period of time and this segment specifically marked my introduction to this interest. The fear, the agony, the feeling of despair that he has shown by his eyes is so satisfying, that words could not express it. I've heard stories from left and right about his "glorious era", I have watched previous gatherings from Ceausescu's time, I have read his speeches and national laws and by the end I will continously stand by the statement that he was the biggest fool in all of this. He had completed only 4 classes out of the necessary 12, which only concludes to the perception that he was leaded by other, "smarter" people by the time has met his end. And yet again, I can not stop myself from thinking what it would've been like if he would've stood in his position for even 5-7 years. Fascinating.
do you think that the government still has people leading the country back from his regime? Because if they are smart they would probably not draw too much attention to themselves after the Ceauscu's rule ended.
Simti satisfactie prin suferinta omului care ne-a cladit tara si ne-a stabilit locul pe harta lumii? In orice probabilitate avea consilieri, ca efectiv orice alt lider de pe pamant, dar nu cred sub nicio forma ca era prost sau ca era o papusa pentru alti oameni mai “inteligenti”. Uitandu-te la situatia politica si economica curenta, capitalismul ne-a distrut tot ce am construit, prin munca fiecarui roman. Suntem complet distrusi de un sistem anti intelectual care promoveaza numai munca cea mai banoasa. Omul de rand nu are de ales decat sa munceasca ce se plateste mai bine, sau sa moara de foame, iar democratia se aplica numai pentru bogatanii care detin capital. Nu sunt de acord cu tot ce a facut omul asta, dar lovitura de stat a fost un mare pas inapoi pentru poporul roman.
The moment the screaming started, it was like a mask was being pulled off Ceaucescus' face. All of a sudden, he looked at the same time dismayed, stunned and completely surprised. Like a frightened old man, which he was at that moment. I mean, I hold no sympathy for the guy but I find it interesting to try to gauge what is going through such a persons' head. I'm certain that, until that very moment, he (in his own mind) was convinced that he did the right thing and that most people love him. The crowds reaction showed him, for the first time, that the exact opposite was the case.
When dictators have an agency that removes people who hates them and publicly only show people who loved them for many years. I think the dictators might have grown accustomed to thinking that their people love them. I'm pretty sure it was a shock to Gaddaffi and Ceausescu when much of their population rose up against them.
U can see his life was a Dream,far away from reality. Then he awakens... Back in the Days,I often eat at a Mensa,in a Place also for Foreign Refugees,there I witnessed Romanian High officials seeking Asylum,because they were prosecuted in Romania,after Ceausescu's Empire fell apart... Dutch Government offered asylum to Ceausescu's Henchman!
I was born in Romania in1990 now adopted . Romanian,Canadian now American . Till this day. I still want too meet my parents who put me up for adoption !!!
@@sbonel3224 i think you need more informations about this country because you absolutely know nothing about this subject.Every country had her steps to obtain democracy.This escape thing that you are talking about is absolutely bullshit.
Lucky you,,,,maybe your parents couldn't afford to raise you thats why they gave you up for adoption ,,,after communism everyone was poor...Maybe your parents tried their best to feed you but could not continue to put food in your table ....Best of luck
I’ve seen this video before, but had to come back and rewatch it. I’m in Bucharest and visited the this square today. What an amazing moment in history.
Same here. I wasnt there present but I listened with my shortwave radio during a Christmas Dinner with my family in Miami. I still remember the faces of my relatives when I told them that the Elephants and Donkeys were the same as the Communists.
I'd like to know more about what actually happened in the crowd. To my ears it sounds like people are screaming - although as the story goes people were booing / jeering. Fascinating stuff.
There was 1-2 petards trowed and one of the 2 things (because there are different oppinions): there was a device that simulated sounds of war (like plane noise, roar, rumble..) or a GELA grenade (flashbang).. and the people was scared and run away from the noise source. Also, in the same time seems that there was few people who shout "Timișoara"
"...One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand..." Viva La Vida
The man who called Ceausescu to come into building was not from Securitate, but was Tudor Postelnicu, Minister of Interior at the time and one of Ceausescu's closest associates.
A longtime co-worker of mine is from Bucharest and she was there that day - she said that at 7:05 there was a hope in the crowd that maybe, just maybe, he would announce some positive changes which is why the crowd calmed down momentarily to listen to him - but then he just spouted off the same old BS and everyone decided enough was enough.
I'm confused, I saw the booing. Then, for the rest of the video and the next, everybody was cheering and he's telling everybody that they're increasing rates and allowances.
Seeing the Ceaucescus go down this way reminds me of Caligula's observation "let them hate me, so long as they fear me!". True enough. It tells you a LOT though when a "leader's" own arrogance leads them to tick off enough people to undo that fear.
@@horatiohuskisson5471 Almost any emotion is temporary. But, I see your point. W/things like "fear", the trick is keeping fear going. When one runs things on fear, the "leader" has to ride the razor's edge of terrifying the common folk & designated flunkies while NOT going too far. Once you do cross the line, it makes said folks & flunkies figure that either way, they're screwed. And being screwed by everyone makes one go for the biggest, baddest bad target. Also, a "leader" has to maintain the illusion that they're the greatest, most competent person to ever run their country. Dictators have their propagandists working 25 hours a day, 9 to create it. The second a dictator looks less than grand, well, that's another weakness exposed. And if they aren't the "big brother/sister", that also makes them more vulnerable.
This is so unique and rare to have been filmed I have no idea why it's not talked about more. I am fascinated by this situation and ive tried to find documentaries about it only to find like 2 of them in 240p or something and a few others that are narrated entirely in Romanian with no translation. This event here is so awesome and especially hilarious but I have yet to find a single individual that knows anything about it and the only people ive met that know of him are ppl like my mom (older) but the only thing she knows is his name. Same thing with Chairman Meow cus that's the formal name of my cat and it always brings me great joy when someone laughs out loud when I tell them that's his name. Only one "younger" person has ever understood that pun
Thanks for providing this and the translation. The only thing additional I could ask for is a translation of what the crowd is saying at various points. I remember hearing a translation of the statement from Romanian State Radio at the time ..... "Ceauşescu the anti-christ is dead." Riveting times back then.
The Romanian dictator was overthrown and Romania, with democratic presidents, is still, after more than 30 years, one of the poorest countries in Europe....perhaps the problem is not the dictator but the people.
When I was walking down this place the first time, my now ex-gf told me about this speech and this day, now that I see it a chill runs down my spine. What a great nation.

this would be impossible today, people would rather praise corruption in self pity than to risk looking dumb. ego, individualism and fear of the unknown makes for excellent propaganda against the working class, against ourselves, we have no self-interest rather than our immediate, quenched needs
Well put, but I wouldn't say this is an unique contemporary problem. But with the internet, it's maddening to see how easy humanity can voluntarily trap themselves into the bombastic zero-sum games, ignoring the substance of the ideals they claim to follow. And I've come to the conclusion that the chief motivator for this behavior is ego, self-aggrandizement. And in the case of outmost villany, its motivated by greed. The ones that activly exploit this human frailty and perpetuate it for their own winnings. Because at some point there are no defence of ignorance or delusions...and it becomes outright acts of malicious deception.
I was/am one of "Ceausescu's children"/orphans as they put it. I was however, lucky enough to be adopted when I was 6. Thankfully I was in one of the better orphanages, though that didn't exempt me from experiencing the ugly part of it. I hate what this bastard did to Romania, knowing that to this day it has still not fully recovered! I will fight for children's rights and freedom of speech until the day that I die.
CRTVBR I said BETTER not best...it was better from a bunch of a many shitty places...that kind of better. You don't know me or what I've been through so you have no idea why I am complaining. I kept my mouth shut for 15 years about the stuff I had to endure, but guess what, I don't anymore. So seriously, just f*** off with you bull, especially you saying people lived better. They definitely didn't! I am proof of that, and you're not even Romanian, so how the Fuck can you know?! You weren't there.
@david dragão Yea, that's not a revolution that's a coup! Started by Iliescu, The Occident, USA, UK, And the soviets. And there are a few boxes with audio gun sounds. People got scared the army has been called to solve that and the army and the entire people has thinking there are terrorists. If someone saw a strange man with capitalist outfit he was arrested. And also some regiments lf army fight itself with they own mates. A very tragic year. Yea, there are a few romanian protesting but the poor people now he doesn't have any money and bread. Rip equality. Also the harder jobs are payed more.

The look on his face at 2:40 is priceless and says it all. "Why are the peasants not hanging off my every word?" "Why aren't my goons silencing the dissident voices?" "Quick, fire up the chopper!"
You might not be able to hear it, but at a point the crowd begins to chant “Timisoara”, which was a city where Ceausescu’s soldiers murdered a bunch of protesters. Dude was fucked as soon as that happened
If ever there was a truly "Evil Empire", America must look in the mirror, examine itself carefully and then seek forgiveness for its numerous transgressions. Every empire the world has ever seen has come to an inglorious end and America will be no different.
@@Hardie_Boi suuuuure, this is what happens when you talk from a country that doesn't know what it's going on. The former president of Bolivia made fraud in the 2019 elections plus he (accord to Bolivian's Constitution) should have left power since 2016
I recall seeing news snippets of this speech and I remember the look of terror on his face while trying to assure everyone and himself he was still in charge. He wasn't.
Actually, the most grotesque figure in all of this is not Ceausescu but his wife Elena. She is very well aware of what's going on and she becomes furious when it all starts. The arrogance with which she tells the crowd to calm down (as if she were the leader and not her husband) and the frustrated expression in her face tells me that she is the one exerting power in the name of her husband.
it wasn't a coup !!!! SAYING IT WAS A COUP DENIES THE COURAGE OF THE ROMANIAN PEOPLE WHO STOOD UP IN THE STREETS OF TIMISOARA AND DIED FROM THE BULLETS FROM CEAUSESCU'S AGENCY. IT WAS A REVOLUTION
Romania was, in 1989, the ONLY country in the world with no eternal debt. And Ceausescu had decided for the next governments to ban any foreign loan. Also, he was in discussion with Lybia, Iran and China to make a bank with low interest rate just for developing countries. If you are courious why he got that end. REPLY
+Titi Ionescu I'm interested in further information regarding your statement. After he ordered the military to open fire on men, women & children, I believe his death was legitimately perpetrated by citizens of his own country because they had enough of his brutal methods in dealing with various issues. I'm interested to know if the West had a helping hand in his death though.
Who whant's to know needs to translate because this is for romanians: Dupa 25 de ani in sfarsit aveti un presedinte in adevaratul sens al cuvantului,noi cei care ne-am parasit casele,familiile si copii pentru a muncii undeva in lume am facut mare galagie si am stat in frig ore intregi pentru a avea acest nou presedinte,iar acum stam neputinciosi si ne uitam cum sacrificiul nostru (si pe langa asta mai trimitem si bani in tara care se simte la bugetul Romaniei mai mult sau mai putin) nu a avut nici o valoare pentru cei din tara,cum si sacrificiul din 89 a fost tot degeaba,la fel si sacrificiul tinerilor adunati in Bucuresti in 1992 cand Iliescu ia declarat la tv ca sunt huligani iar cand a vazut ca ei protesteaza pasnic au adus minerii sa omoare cu bataia acei tineri.Acu domnul

emisiunile lui Marutza si alte porcarii in timp ce securisti din 89(caci asta sunt in guvernul nostru) va da muie in loc sa il ajutati pe presedintele ales.Mai oameni buni,voi chiar nu vedeti ca proxenetii(majoritatea tigani si fara suparare dar asta este adevarul) ne iau copilele si ni le fac prostituate,camatarii fac numai ravagii,violuri si talharii si multe alte nereguli si in timpul asta

daca nu stiati si el era slav) si multi altii.E acuma culmea culmilor vine alt rus lipovean si va intreaba cand aveti si voi de gand sa va treziti si sa va sprijiniti presedintele caci el are multe de

falsi vostri revolutionari,caci cei adevarati au murit in 89,iar si ei ca si strabunii vostrii in momentul actual se caca pe mandria voastra caci cum am mai spus,lor le apartine mandria si tineti minte bine asta pana va faceti strabunii iar mandrii de voi.Ati devenit o tara de manelisti(halal spirit de roman) si tare mash bucura sa vad contrariul dar realitatea spune altceva.Pacat,caci ati

spuso ca imi iubesc trara in care m-am nascut.Voi unde va-ti nascut?
After 25 years, you finally have a president in the true sense of the word, we who left our homes, families and children to work somewhere in the world made a big fuss and stayed in the cold for hours to have this new president , and now we sit helpless and look at how our sacrifice (and besides that we also send money to the country which is more or less felt at the budget of Romania) had no value for the people of the country, like the sacrifice of 89 it was all in vain, as well as the sacrifice of the young people gathered in Bucharest in 1992 when Iliescu declared on TV that they were hooligans and when he saw that they were peacefully protesting, they brought the miners to beat those young people to death. Here Mr. President Iohannis (no blood ) will cry and I emphasize that he will cry on TV, every time he has the opportunity, that he needs a government to be able to do something for the ROMANS, you at home watch Marutza's shows and other crap while you secure from 89 (because they are in our government) will give you a blowjob instead of helping the president-elect. Better people, you really don't see that the pimps (mostly gypsies and no offense but this is the truth) take our children and turn them into prostitutes, loan sharks only havoc, rapes and robberies and many other irregularities and during this time the government that is in power now has been screwing us for 25 years? Do you really not want to wake up? Do you really want to be the laughing stock of Europe because of them? You know the saying " Am I proud to be Romanian"? Well, your ancestors (and I say your ancestors because I'm Russian from Lipov) shit on your pride because that pride belongs only to them, not to the Romanians of today. Even my Romanian colleagues when I say the same to them words that I post here, they get angry and tell me: "Why are you putting us all in the same pot?" I say to them, "Bye brothers, I know only one Romanian people (including the Moldovans across the river), others do not know in the world, and this does not mean that I am generalizing you. I don't know what you are saying, but I know that the Romanians were once Dacians and a royal family made Bucharest a little Paris, do you still remember it? They were all Germans like the new president we have. You know, we Russian Lipovians, we are the people of the mountains from Siberia, dear mother Russia fucked us twice, once that the mountains took our wealth a second time and that's how we ended up in the Danube delta. Here we bought land to build our houses and learn to be Romanians (in the end we learned how not to be Romanians) and that's why we did our sacrifice when we followed you in the war against the Russians and against Hitler and after the war you also fucked us twice, once you took our lands and the second time the gold we had and still we gave you Nadia Comaneci (the only one in the world who got 10 in gymnastics and poor injured but she still fought for Romania), Ivan Patzaichin (world champion in kayak canoe), Mihai Eminescu (who, if you didn't know, was also Slavic) and many others. now the peak of the peaks comes another Russian from Lipovi and will ask you when you are also going to wake up and support your president because he has a lot to give, but with a people like you he can't do a single shit, and the second peak the worst thing is that this German wants to help you, a careless people that you are, because the Russian Lipovians have reached us, and I for one consider myself a citizen of Europe and I am proud of the country where I was born (Romania) because God made so beautiful, but you Romanians have not the slightest intention to revive it. Just as we Romanians from outside the country moved the thief to vote for a president, maybe you will also move the thief to give him a government and for those who he is upset about my post, I want to inform you that my wife is Romanian (what if she has gypsy blood in her) and she is of the same opinion as me. Do you want us minorities to wake up your Dacian soul? You don't see that you have a war near you and you are still careless. Shame on you. You know, I also have family members who died during the revolution and despite all this they did not ask for a revolutionary's pension, but you dried up the budget with your fake revolutionaries, because the real ones died in 89, and they, like your great-grandfathers, are currently shitting on your pride because, as I said before, the pride belongs to them and keep this in mind until you become your great-grandfathers and proud of you. You have become a the country of manelists (halal Romanian spirit) and I'm very happy to see the opposite, but the reality says otherwise. It's a shame, because you were a people who fought with many empires of the world and none of them passed beyond you in Europe (until and the leaders of Europe from those times sent you letters of thanks for keeping the Ottomans away from them) and now you are in no position to do anything, what's worse, sit and watch how the PSDists will destroy the country. Even your priests if you don't give money, they won't bury the dead at home, you can also see how shitty you look in front of them. If any Romanian with a Dacian soul in him sees this comment, I would ask him to pass this message on and not to get upset, because everything I said here, I said that I love my country where I was born. Where were you born? 16 @1JuliusStrei
I remember that day. It was right before Christmas, and I would take a seven hour train trip to visit my mother for the holidays. The morning, news had a brief mention that there were demonstrations in Bucharest. I was cut off from news during the trip, but once there, I heard that Ceaușescu had been overthrown. Seven hours. What *happened* during that brief time?? Today, of course, I would have followed the news on my phone.
It’s the end of a decade / In another ten years time / Who can say what we’ll find What lies waiting down the line / In the end of ’89 Happy new year, happy new year - ABBA
Lorenzo De Min Yeah right. Lemme guess, western propaganda, amirite? That’s always the commie’s excuse for all their many, many massacres. Just as bad as the Nazis. Your fellow socialists, by the way. Except communists killed more innocents than the fascists. Nicky boy here got exactly what he deserved in the end!
Nicolae & Elena where so arrogantly drunk on power, riches, lavishness & corruptness, pride & ego, that they could not even believe their execution ever possible, even while it was happening??. She was defiant & fought with the young executioners as they struggled to restrain her hands with a piece of twine behind her back, as they were being led out the back into a courtyard to be executed by gunfire.
And from what, from what facts does their intoxication with power, wealth, waste and corruption follow? How can you confirm this? As for the rest, for your information, even when a person deep down understands that he will soon be killed, he still does not want to believe it. Was she disobedient? What else could she do, knowing that they were going to kill her? It’s strange to read your condemnation of her such behavior. Contrary to you, I don’t understand something completely different. Why didn't they try to agitate the firing squad or at the very end even try to at least snatch the weapons from their hands in order to take as many killers with them as possible.
Try to agitate & snatch the weapons from the executioners😂🤣🤣??. Are you serious??. That says it all, i know you very well now😂??. Were you even alive or even born when this was happening??. I already know you weren't by your limited knowledge & understanding?. Those of us who know this time, know exactly what was happening in Romania under the Ceausescu regime??. Romanians rose, arrested, trialled, convicted, sentenced & executed the Ceausescu's in Romania, no enemy came in & assassinated two lovely leaders😂??.
@@НесторИванович-л1кThe fact’s are from thousands of Romanian’s and their families that were killed under their regime. Suppression of speech, constant paranoia of loss of power, banning music they didn’t like…the list goes on. To anyone that sounds like a hunger for power. However, it is consistent throughout humanity, that when you believe and like something, it will take a lot for you to see most situations otherwise, even when presented with evidence right before your eyes. I believe the term is “denialism”.
This video still feels me up with rage me up after all these years. My family has suffered so much at the hands of this tyrant. I wish they did not speed his trial because we never got to know the whole truth.
It wasn't just the "not being able to afford a child". By law you were forced to see the gynecologist once a month and he/she were forced to report every pregnancy.The punishment for abortion was 15 years, for everyone involved or knowing and not stopping it. Tons of mothers left their children to orphanages, with no funding or even the minimum food rations (yes, we had food rations up until 1989). And the list just goes on. I wish they would've just thrown him to the masses of women forced to give birth to these children unable to care for them properly. A bullet was a way too easy mode to get out of it for all the suffering he caused.
The shock had to be massive for this guy. The A&E documentary said this speech was the first time he ever heard boos from an audience. If only every dictator faced such a moment of justice and truth.
Well the only way to swing a revolution in the people's favor is when the army backs you up. That's why Cuntisescu was scared.
The late Ceausescu was a failure. The earlier version of him was a hero.
@@spektrumyt. a hero? A FREAKING HERO?!

But I can tell you, at that very moment the young people took the faith on their hands and oppose for the first time to a maleficent regime. All those who claims that on those times was better than today are either exponents of former regime or to young to understand what is real communism. All of those persons cry after Ceausescu and blame its swift execution. However, nobody remember or refer to hundreds/thousands dissidents slowly executed by the Securitate and communist regime in Romania. Yes, the life is hard in Romania. But, if I would come to be pleased for a piece of bread instead of freedom, I would call once again for a revolution in Romania, irrespective the costs.

Hello guys, I'm from Romania and I'll tell you what "hallo" means.
1. It's not "hallo" or "halo".
It's "alo"
"Alo" means "Hey?".
2. "Alo" is useful when someone is not listening and you want their attention.
Makes this part of the speech. From an English speaking perspective understandable. As the translation shown here make it look like his microphone was not working. If you catch my drift.
The Pumpking King Sure I did. Sorry for my late answer :p
Bogdan Dascal the word "alo"is also on turkish langauge and it is used the same as your langauge

Was that part of Romania occupied by the Ottoman Turks? Hungarians were occupied by the Ottoman Turks for almost 2 centuries,
9% of the Hungarian language is Turkish loan words.

I'm a huge history buff of European history from the nazi period up to the fall of the ussr! This moment right here has fascinated me for years! We all hear and read about how the different regimes of the era came to an end but to see it play out before your eyes is chilling!! This guy was literally "the man" for 42 years and within a matter of seconds it's all over! To see the look of fear and confusion on his face when he realizes his gig is up is so haunting! It's just so unique and amazing to watch this unfold right before our eyes and his! Definitely one of the most interesting parts of history during that time!
You damm right Paulie, It is awesome to see this changes on his face and the clueless reaction. I grew up in Poland, and however Polish socialism wasn't that harsh, due to the character of Polish people, that are in most parts more rebellious than others, huge polish diaspora in the west etc., I truly hate communists because I saw the damage they did to many countries, my family and families of other people, the totalitarian style of governance and more and more reasons you could give and discuss. Another example of that communist evil ideology is Venezuela. What those bandits do to once such a awesome country is beyond comprehension. People killed, starved, kids dying of malnutrition... it just make you angry and on the other hand makes you powerless and wondering why, for what reason it is happening,and the worst is seeing the world doing very little to help. Americans, Russians, Syria entire Middle East screwed for interests of a group of selfish people, Perhaps I am too old to comprehend all that.
This guy rise up the country and was "the man" between 1966-1989. Not 42 years. And what this guy do in this time for his country was awesome. In 30 years after that, Romania was destroyed. We didn't kill him. Russia,USA an England kill him. Is no future without sacrifice. We must understand that. How many soldiers died in Vietnam,Irak,Siria,etc to maintain economy of USA. Ceausescu did't attack other people. He starved his own country...
I'll tell you what's amazing...He banned abortion approx. 17-20 years prior. By doing so, he didn't realize he was committing to his own downfall. Those teenagers (highschool and college individuals) who took to the streets and protested; demanding his execution could have been prevented!
Had he not banned abortion, those individuals would not have been the death of him. That is what I call IRONY!
@@Ceausescu_Nicolae He didn't do shit. Romania was developed under Dej and Maurer, Ceausescu ruined everything they build. We need to stop with this myth of Ceausescu building Romania. He didn't do crap. He just continued what his predecessors did - build industry and shit, on borrowed money. Then the check had come on his term, and he was unable to pay because his economic policies were a total failure, and from then on started the austerity. This is the ''awesome'' truth about the Ceausescu regime... it's so sad that instead of making this clear in school and society we let this mythology build around him.
@@TypOPositiv Uh? What? It had nothing to do with abortions, and nobody protested against him or asked for his death for death... peoples were too cold and too hungry to care about that.
"a warm greetings, revolutionary! along with best wishes for success in all fields!"
Took less than a minute for him to regret that one.
What you don't see in the film is that right when he restarts the speech, after the confusion in the crowd, a part of the crowd had already regrouped 400 meters away, near the Intercontinental Hotel (PIata Universitatii) and was already rallying against Ceausescu. You can see footage for that in videos named "21 decembrie 1989 Piata Universitatii"
what does that mean?

I was not born at the moment this happened, as I am only 14, but my parents have both lived through and participated in this historic event. I am fondly fascinated by this period of time and this segment specifically marked my introduction to this interest. The fear, the agony, the feeling of despair that he has shown by his eyes is so satisfying, that words could not express it. I've heard stories from left and right about his "glorious era", I have watched previous gatherings from Ceausescu's time, I have read his speeches and national laws and by the end I will continously stand by the statement that he was the biggest fool in all of this. He had completed only 4 classes out of the necessary 12, which only concludes to the perception that he was leaded by other, "smarter" people by the time has met his end. And yet again, I can not stop myself from thinking what it would've been like if he would've stood in his position for even 5-7 years. Fascinating.
do you think that the government still has people leading the country back from his regime?
Because if they are smart they would probably not draw too much attention to themselves after the Ceauscu's rule ended.

The moment the screaming started, it was like a mask was being pulled off Ceaucescus' face. All of a sudden, he looked at the same time dismayed, stunned and completely surprised. Like a frightened old man, which he was at that moment.
I mean, I hold no sympathy for the guy but I find it interesting to try to gauge what is going through such a persons' head. I'm certain that, until that very moment, he (in his own mind) was convinced that he did the right thing and that most people love him. The crowds reaction showed him, for the first time, that the exact opposite was the case.
When dictators have an agency that removes people who hates them and publicly only show people who loved them for many years. I think the dictators might have grown accustomed to thinking that their people love them. I'm pretty sure it was a shock to Gaddaffi and Ceausescu when much of their population rose up against them.

There was 1-2 petards trowed and one of the 2 things (because there are different oppinions): there was a device that simulated sounds of war (like plane noise, roar, rumble..) or a GELA grenade (flashbang).. and the people was scared and run away from the noise source.

Homo Deus brought me here. Well done Romanian brothers. Love how powerful you have been.
Seeing the Ceaucescus go down this way reminds me of Caligula's observation "let them hate me, so long as they fear me!". True enough.
It tells you a LOT though when a "leader's" own arrogance leads them to tick off enough people to undo that fear.
Scot Carr fear is always temporary, that’s the problem
@@horatiohuskisson5471 Almost any emotion is temporary. But, I see your point. W/things like "fear", the trick is keeping fear going. When one runs things on fear, the "leader" has to ride the razor's edge of terrifying the common folk & designated flunkies while NOT going too far.
Once you do cross the line, it makes said folks & flunkies figure that either way, they're screwed. And being screwed by everyone makes one go for the biggest, baddest bad target.
Also, a "leader" has to maintain the illusion that they're the greatest, most competent person to ever run their country. Dictators have their propagandists working 25 hours a day, 9 to create it. The second a dictator looks less than grand, well, that's another weakness exposed. And if they aren't the "big brother/sister", that also makes them more vulnerable.
Caligula was also the one who advised Tiberius on how to get rid of Sejanus by getting him arrested by his second in command, Macro.

Motivational Speaker Series, Speech #142: "How Not to Address an Angry Crowd."
This is so unique and rare to have been filmed I have no idea why it's not talked about more. I am fascinated by this situation and ive tried to find documentaries about it only to find like 2 of them in 240p or something and a few others that are narrated entirely in Romanian with no translation. This event here is so awesome and especially hilarious but I have yet to find a single individual that knows anything about it and the only people ive met that know of him are ppl like my mom (older) but the only thing she knows is his name. Same thing with Chairman Meow cus that's the formal name of my cat and it always brings me great joy when someone laughs out loud when I tell them that's his name. Only one "younger" person has ever understood that pun
She has such a nice warm motherly voice lol...like nails on a chalk board

Thanks for providing this and the translation. The only thing additional I could ask for is a translation of what the crowd is saying at various points.
I remember hearing a translation of the statement from Romanian State Radio at the time ..... "Ceauşescu the anti-christ is dead." Riveting times back then.

this would be impossible today, people would rather praise corruption in self pity than to risk looking dumb.
ego, individualism and fear of the unknown makes for excellent propaganda against the working class, against ourselves, we have no self-interest rather than our immediate, quenched needs
Well put, but I wouldn't say this is an unique contemporary problem.
But with the internet, it's maddening to see how easy humanity can voluntarily trap themselves into the bombastic zero-sum games, ignoring the substance of the ideals they claim to follow.
And I've come to the conclusion that the chief motivator for this behavior is ego, self-aggrandizement. And in the case of outmost villany, its motivated by greed.
The ones that activly exploit this human frailty and perpetuate it for their own winnings. Because at some point there are no defence of ignorance or delusions...and it becomes outright acts of malicious deception.
Bravo to Romanian military and police officers saving their own people.

I was/am one of "Ceausescu's children"/orphans as they put it. I was however, lucky enough to be adopted when I was 6. Thankfully I was in one of the better orphanages, though that didn't exempt me from experiencing the ugly part of it.

This video is amazing and haunting -- the vanishing of a dictatorship, right before our eyes.
The look on his face at 2:40 is priceless and says it all. "Why are the peasants not hanging off my every word?" "Why aren't my goons silencing the dissident voices?" "Quick, fire up the chopper!"
The crowd assaulted that building next day around noon and he fled in a helicopter at that time.
You might not be able to hear it, but at a point the crowd begins to chant “Timisoara”, which was a city where Ceausescu’s soldiers murdered a bunch of protesters. Dude was fucked as soon as that happened

Actually, the most grotesque figure in all of this is not Ceausescu but his wife Elena. She is very well aware of what's going on and she becomes furious when it all starts. The arrogance with which she tells the crowd to calm down (as if she were the leader and not her husband) and the frustrated expression in her face tells me that she is the one exerting power in the name of her husband.

+Titi Ionescu I'm interested in further information regarding your statement. After he ordered the military to open fire on men, women & children, I believe his death was legitimately perpetrated by citizens of his own country because they had enough of his brutal methods in dealing with various issues. I'm interested to know if the West had a helping hand in his death though.
Who whant's to know needs to translate because this is for romanians:
Dupa 25 de ani in sfarsit aveti un presedinte in adevaratul sens al cuvantului,noi cei care ne-am parasit casele,familiile si copii pentru a muncii undeva in lume am facut mare galagie si am stat in frig ore intregi pentru a avea acest nou presedinte,iar acum stam neputinciosi si ne uitam cum sacrificiul nostru (si pe langa asta mai trimitem si bani in tara care se simte la bugetul Romaniei mai mult sau mai putin) nu a avut nici o valoare pentru cei din tara,cum si sacrificiul din 89 a fost tot degeaba,la fel si sacrificiul tinerilor adunati in Bucuresti in 1992 cand Iliescu ia declarat la tv ca sunt huligani iar cand a vazut ca ei protesteaza pasnic au adus minerii sa omoare cu bataia acei tineri.Acu domnul presedinte Iohannis(neamts de sange) va plange si subliniez va plange la tv,de fiecare data cand are ocazia,ca are nevoie de un guvern sa poata face ceva pt ROMANI,voi cei deacasa va uitati la emisiunile lui Marutza si alte porcarii in timp ce securisti din 89(caci asta sunt in guvernul nostru) va da muie in loc sa il ajutati pe presedintele ales.Mai oameni buni,voi chiar nu vedeti ca proxenetii(majoritatea tigani si fara suparare dar asta este adevarul) ne iau copilele si ni le fac prostituate,camatarii fac numai ravagii,violuri si talharii si multe alte nereguli si in timpul asta guvernul care este la putere acum ne fute de 25 de ani?Voi chiar nu vreti sa va treziti?Voi chiar vreti sa ajungeti de rasul Europei din cauza lor?Stiti vorba "Sunt mandru ca sunt roman"?E,strabunii vostrii(si spun strabunii vostri deoarece eu sunt rus lipovean)se caca pe mandria voastra caci acea mandrie le apartine numai lor nu romanilor de azi.Pana si colegii mei de munca romani cand le spun aceleasi cuvinte care le postez aici se supara si i-mi spun:

After 25 years, you finally have a president in the true sense of the word, we who left our homes, families and children to work somewhere in the world made a big fuss and stayed in the cold for hours to have this new president , and now we sit helpless and look at how our sacrifice (and besides that we also send money to the country which is more or less felt at the budget of Romania) had no value for the people of the country, like the sacrifice of 89 it was all in vain, as well as the sacrifice of the young people gathered in Bucharest in 1992 when Iliescu declared on TV that they were hooligans and when he saw that they were peacefully protesting, they brought the miners to beat those young people to death. Here Mr. President Iohannis (no blood ) will cry and I emphasize that he will cry on TV, every time he has the opportunity, that he needs a government to be able to do something for the ROMANS, you at home watch Marutza's shows and other crap while you secure from 89 (because they are in our government) will give you a blowjob instead of helping the president-elect. Better people, you really don't see that the pimps (mostly gypsies and no offense but this is the truth) take our children and turn them into prostitutes, loan sharks only havoc, rapes and robberies and many other irregularities and during this time the government that is in power now has been screwing us for 25 years? Do you really not want to wake up? Do you really want to be the laughing stock of Europe because of them? You know the saying " Am I proud to be Romanian"? Well, your ancestors (and I say your ancestors because I'm Russian from Lipov) shit on your pride because that pride belongs only to them, not to the Romanians of today. Even my Romanian colleagues when I say the same to them words that I post here, they get angry and tell me:
"Why are you putting us all in the same pot?" I say to them, "Bye brothers, I know only one Romanian people (including the Moldovans across the river), others do not know in the world, and this does not mean that I am generalizing you. I don't know what you are saying, but I know that the Romanians were once Dacians and a royal family made Bucharest a little Paris, do you still remember it? They were all Germans like the new president we have. You know, we Russian Lipovians, we are the people of the mountains from Siberia, dear mother Russia fucked us twice, once that the mountains took our wealth a second time and that's how we ended up in the Danube delta. Here we bought land to build our houses and learn to be Romanians (in the end we learned how not to be Romanians) and that's why we did our sacrifice when we followed you in the war against the Russians and against Hitler and after the war you also fucked us twice, once you took our lands and the second time the gold we had and still we gave you Nadia Comaneci (the only one in the world who got 10 in gymnastics and poor injured but she still fought for Romania), Ivan Patzaichin (world champion in kayak canoe), Mihai Eminescu (who, if you didn't know, was also Slavic) and many others. now the peak of the peaks comes another Russian from Lipovi and will ask you when you are also going to wake up and support your president because he has a lot to give, but with a people like you he can't do a single shit, and the second peak the worst thing is that this German wants to help you, a careless people that you are, because the Russian Lipovians have reached us, and I for one consider myself a citizen of Europe and I am proud of the country where I was born (Romania) because God made so beautiful, but you Romanians have not the slightest intention to revive it. Just as we Romanians from outside the country moved the thief to vote for a president, maybe you will also move the thief to give him a government and for those who he is upset about my post, I want to inform you that my wife is Romanian (what if she has gypsy blood in her) and she is of the same opinion as me. Do you want us minorities to wake up your Dacian soul? You don't see that you have a war near you and you are still careless. Shame on you. You know, I also have family members who died during the revolution and despite all this they did not ask for a revolutionary's pension, but you dried up the budget with your fake revolutionaries, because the real ones died in 89, and they, like your great-grandfathers, are currently shitting on your pride because, as I said before, the pride belongs to them and keep this in mind until you become your great-grandfathers and proud of you. You have become a the country of manelists (halal Romanian spirit) and I'm very happy to see the opposite, but the reality says otherwise. It's a shame, because you were a people who fought with many empires of the world and none of them passed beyond you in Europe (until and the leaders of Europe from those times sent you letters of thanks for keeping the Ottomans away from them) and now you are in no position to do anything, what's worse, sit and watch how the PSDists will destroy the country. Even your priests if you don't give money, they won't bury the dead at home, you can also see how shitty you look in front of them. If any Romanian with a Dacian soul in him sees this comment, I would ask him to pass this message on and not to get upset, because everything I said here, I said that I love my country where I was born. Where were you born?
