  • Watch the full episode: • Romania Nicolae Ceaușescu took power in Romania in 1965, and through his 24-year dictatorship his ego ballooned. The culmination of his master plan was an immense palace with more than a thousand rooms, now the Palace of the Parliament. In late 1989, with winds of change sweeping the Eastern Bloc, armed revolution spread across Romania.

    That is what I call a proper cultural travel vlog.
    Recently I have recorded my first travel vlog and I only had one afternoon free to do so. However, despite not enough time to research and more of a spontaneous production and feel about it, I try and tell people what I liked there. I give them an interpretation rather than just images.
    Will subscribe to your channel now.

      Not really. It's highly evocative of the obscene senseless excesses like the Ryugyong tower.

      Maybe the Parliament building but not the whole civic center.

    It's very nice. The thing is u wouldn't have enjoyed such a grandeur today had not been for his aspirations.

    Look for the American billion dollar notes for most favored nation , hidden in his palaces ( as well as in Swiss bank accounts)

      +leilagomulka5690. Ceausescu never had any foreign bank accounts. He probably felt he didn’t need them; he could get most things free at the nation’s expense.

    The wide boulevards look more like Paris actually. The ugly big palace should be downsized but I guess that would cost too much money.

    It should be torn down and rebuilt in the Romantic architecture so we can be the Paris of the East again.

    And now the government use that building to bolster their ego. That building should be used as a museum or cultural events only or anything other than a place to run a country from and on top of that it costs a fortune to keep its empty halls heated, illuminated and cleaned. If i could have the power to demolish it i would do that a long time ago. Ironically it is called "Palatul poporului" meaning "The People's Palace"
