Mfs in 2024: "ah yes, let's slap happy nation over that"
This is not meant to diss or to show disrespect towards the people who have died.
I have huge respect for the folks that sacrificed their own lives for our freedom. I woud love to see Romania fully democratic and I never voted for today's parties that come from FSN.
This is just a video archive mashed up to match the song lyrics more or less. The people who have died made this happy nation that we have today. I believe we can make it even happier.
Just google happy nation meaning and you will see that you are kinda unfair .
Thats the point. The song is used to show a UNHAPPY nation.
Skill issue
The footage of the helicopter flying away sent chills down my spine
For me as well.
Also when I editet the part with the lyrics "Tell them we've gone too far" and the crowd going out on the street I had massive chills man
My dad was watching the news here in the UK on the day that happened - I was 6 years old, and I still remember that image of the chopper lifting off into the air. Obviously I was too young to understand but I remember the pictures.
Ceaușescu escaped whit it before he and his wife got executed by a firing squad
Hello !
Another fruit
What a revolution the Romanian 1989 Revolution was! A general civil uprising with accompanying military mutiny and rebellion. It certainly stands out among the Eastern Bloc revolutions.
Very well said
Well, the difference is, that the regimes in East-Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Albania understood a bit earlier that their days were over, so that they still had the opportunity to arrange a peaceful departure off the stage 😉 Ceausescu was too late for that.
it wasnt a revolution, romania was stolen from its people by military and russians that were send to kill and ocupy big roles in the government (exemple: vasile milea didnt comitted suicide, he was killed by russian spies)
Romania has always been fierce like that, just like Afghanistan it was often impossible to "beat".
Coup d'etat!!

Ohh look this bread is round and this bread looks like a sword wow so much variety and Uniqueness i cant wait eat to eat bread tonight
No wonder were depressed all they could eat is bread
Yup, and that store was prepared especially for him to visit....
If Ceacescu just rebuild all the lost homes, roads and structures back in 1977 and not replace it with his big fat ahh residence and all that boulevard and useless apartment buildings maybe the population wouldn't become so mad at him 💀
He was just a fake socialist.
He made many mistakes but the socialist doctrine couldn't let him do good for the people.
The party needed workers and boring flats were the solution. The nomenclature needed spacious flats to live and someone had to build them. 1977 earthquaqe was just leverage for him to do this.

@@andreitaga5988 "Boring flats" are good, as long as the quality is kept up (which I doubt they were)
He was constantly lied to, the Soviets used him as an easy to control puppet so their eyes would be on him, not them or the NKVD, etc. Every time he went into stores per example it was made "fully stocked for him" despite more than half of it being fake painted produce/food. His wife though was a thoroughly heartless creature who yelled "grow up" when the riots started. He thought the people admired him so in his mind the palace was justified, not knowing the true suffering of the people of Romania until it was too late (probably never even believed it in his "NKVD trial").

Facts!
Escaping Iliescu's regime was the true happy nation
An edit with that is coming soon 🫡
I was just six years old when Ceausescu fled from Bucharest in his helicopter - I can remember my dad watching the news when he gave that speech and the people started booing him. He knew he was done for, so he and Elena fled like the criminals they were. I should say here I'm not Romanian, I just know a bit of this history.
Sa traiasca România libera!
The regime was so criminal that under this regime many social benefits were provided to the people, industry and living standards developed very much. But once a crisis arose, the regime was slandered as criminal. The most important thing is that the same thing happened in Russia, during the shooting of the parliament in 1993. I think it is already possible to understand the real face of liberals from this incident in Russia.
@@lugerliaz Decree 770 - Ceausescu signed this insanity banning birth control and abortion, in a country that was having trouble feeding the people it already had. So the orphanages filled up with children that could not be supported by desperately poor families. That alone was criminal, to say nothing of what his secret police did. The whole country was the "Nicolae and Elena Show" and the people were extras in the background...
Ok tankie
@lugerliaz
RO was such a lovely, advanced paradise, people could not even provide for their offspring, thanks to the 5 child decree (Decret 770).
Consequently 500.000 (half a million) had to be raised in "orphanages" - under terrible conditions.
It really was impressive.
@@alfisti93 Exactly. But I don't think the person you've replied to will listen to the truth. I'm not even Romanian, and I know about Decree 770 - it was insane, and I can't imagine what living through those times was like. All those poor children born into a country that couldn't feed them because of one crazy dictator and his ideas...

Facts 🙌🏻
DDR was the best eastern block nation to live in, Romania the worst. Strangely Ceausescu seems to have more nostalgia amongst modern day Romanians than comparatively better regimes in Poland or the baltics do. I suppose it's because he was patriotic and was sovereign from the USSR despite being an incompetent leader.
Propaganda also helped. People forget easily, you can see it in the comments. :)))
you forget about yugoslavia, if we can call that "eastern block"
poland and baltics hates the past because they thought the soviet union were colonizing them. Romania was more or less more independent from the soviets
@@andreitaga5988 No, that's not the point. People think that everything is bad for them now and they believe that it used to be better when there were communists. They haven't seen that life, and they think it was better before... Well, propaganda helped too.
Yugoslavia was the best in the east, ask anyone that lived in the east. You could immediately tell who was yugo, because they weren't unhappy, had newer clothes, were pretty much never "hungry", etc. etc. Unless of course by "eastern bloc" you intend to say under the boot of the moskals, then yugo wouldn't count (curious how the one european communist country the russians and chinese had little to no control over turned out the best while it was still around, huh?)

That people here presume to talk about something that happened in 1989 - 35 years ago! - and were not !!! present at the event speaks for this world.
I wasn't there either, but I don't presume to be. I know what happened and take a neutral view. I don't have the right to pass judgement on people.
But I know from a Romanian friend how damn dirty it was for them. This is a contemporary witness. So please only write something if you were actually there. I also love these "communists" who were born in 2000 and celebrate the revolution of 1917 or describe Yugoslavia as a flawless state, or the GDR. Do you realise that yourselves?
Thx for this Clip, its very important !

Soviets were never liberators. They just kicked out the n4zis so they could install their own puppet regime.
Not a Happy Nation but a Sad Nation.
Indeed. We are much happier than in the 90's tho.
The point of this video is to highlight that Ceausescu tought we were a happy nation but it was quite the opposite
I witnessed the collapse of the Eastern European communist regimes as a cold war kid in the Netherlands. It was shocking to me, but positively shocking.
But now I am wondering about one thing. I know that Dacia bought the designs of the Renault 12, but also of the Renault 20? I see a Renault 20 like model twice in this video.
Dacia 2000 - licence-built Renault 20 for the upper levels of the Romanian Communist Party. I believe that Elena was chauffeured around in one, but am willing to be corrected on that. The R12 became the Dacia 1300 - pretty much the national car in those days.

Why was Ceausescu executed along with his wife, and not imprisoned for life, for example. My wife was also executed". And also, the music is awesome. I love her very much.

In primul rand, Biserica este a doua cea mai respectata institutie in Romania dupa armata. Majoritatea romanilor au incredere in ea. Mai ales daca o compari cu partidele politice care sunt la mai putin de 10%...
In al doilea rand, statul iti cere impozite, cum este si normal. Biserica are scopul de a educa populatia intr-un mod moral si corect. Nu exista niciun motiv pentru care Biserica sa nu aiba voie sa intervina in viata de zi cu zi a cetatenilor, pentru beneficiul lor. In plus, Biserica ajuta o gramada de saraci, bolnavi si batrani. Mai ales pe cei de la tara.

what about 1918
@@hangelapetraru4277 What happened on dec 25th 1918?
Didn’t he change his political doctrine to an oppressive regime one only after visiting Mao’s China? I remember that he was one of the main leaders of the ‘Warsaw Pact’ that connected, through diplomacy, the West (aka US) with the East (aka USSR), bringing also progress and modernization, this all before his visit to Beijing
He visited North Korea in the early 1970s, and it's reckoned that the adulation he saw Kim Il-sung receiving had a massive influence on him. It would explain the megalomaniac rebuilding of Bucharest...
Well yes, but the connection with the west was actually more a game for him. If you're familiar with the "glassnot" term there you go. The strategy was to gain trust of most western powers for military technology blueprints. The funny thing is most of co-operation with western industries was based on academic espionage. In 70s we steal a lot of blueprints. So yeah the jokes with Romanians and stealing actions is a bigger rabbit hole. All was good until summer 1978 when his personal advisor (and also the spy master) defected in US, not longer after his visit with Jimmy Carter. The west was informed about his glassnot policy, his action of academic espionage has halted and the true face after was revealed. See "Red Horizons" for more. Yet worse had to come. Many military technology development budget was spend from civilian budgets. So as the years had to pass, the worse it get for basic civilian products like oil, milk, bread, etc. Especially from 1985. I wasn't born in his historical period, but I hear stories and I study this topic from time to time.
@@AndreiDuicu You're talking about Ion Mihai Pacepa when you mention his advisor? I have read Red Horizons - it's a wild tale and shows the world the full horror of what Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu were capable of.
Exactly. I finished reading the book some months ago. Many of his mementos are about this. Worst part was also about involving terrorism in different countries. What a wild ride was that book.
@@AndreiDuicu It is indeed a crazy story that he tells in that book. If it is accurate, Ceausescu was little better than a mafia boss who just happened to be the leader of a country. A total psychopath.

This doesn't make any sense. Every communist country condemned every western intervention during 1945-1989.
And Romania condemned the USSR against sending troops from the 5 communist states to Czechoslovakia in 1968, refusing to participate in the invasion, then the Soviets came to the border with Romania. With the intention of doing the same thing, after Ceaușescu he was also hated by the Soviets, but it seems they haven't done anything about it anymore. Just western..? Nah...

Very true. Too bad that only applies to the biggest cities. I was born in Romania, my father is from Babaita (2 hours from Bucharest), my mother is from Rahova (Bucharest), some of my aunts and uncles are from all over Romania: Timisioara, Moldova (not the country).
From all the stories I could manage to put together it paints the picture that only Bucharest was living a decent life, but even that was just appearence since they had food rations, they were forced to work and were paid like shit. Outside of Bucharest even to this day we still don't have asphalt and roads. Something that we Romanian people call "tara" which is basically just "countryside" has been looking like the 1800s until about 20 years ago. My grandpa still had "casa parinteasca" which is basically "family house" made mostly of wood, wheat and dirt.
Ceausesc stole the land of the people and abused it to push his industrialization (this was a big revolution motto: to give back the lands to the people). Even during the first elections PSD promised the same thing.
Ceausescu deported all non romanian citizen back to their countries (germans, turks and hungarians mostly).
Search up for "fenomenu Pitesti": basically a project for re-education and brain-washing.
They only had electricity for a couple hours a day, they had only one news channel, they had only a few hours of tv programs.
Communism was not fun in Romania. Ceausesc did exactly what any dictator does: Hitler and Mussolini did the same. They lied to their people and pretended to better the country but that came to the cost of its own citizens.
I also agree that the revolution was not only executed by the citizens as the army was also against Ceausescu. Some of my parents were active military privates when they got arrested and ordered to stand down by the revolutionaires.

gender equality and atteis. are they happy now ?
Yes they are
@@ElAlamein3828 good.. lets they do pride parade.
Romania is overwhelmingly Orthodox (and the socialist gouvernment was atheist) if that's what atteis mean and since when gener equality is a bad thing?
@@ComacMercureCommunism supports gay rights buddy
@@ceoofuzbekistan4025 Tell the Warsaw-Pact that.
And now is better to be a colony of US????
What colony? Romania chose it's own path. Look at Hungary and Czechoslovakia when they tried to revolt against communism.
Romania wanted to join NATO and the EU. No US soldier step foot in Romania without permission.
Take your propaganda somewhere else.
even if we would be a colony how you said, our great-grandparents could only dream at what we have today so yeah is better
@@ceoofuzbekistan4025 what you have today? Nothing, debts? And obey to the master?
@@mig21m13No, we have a growing economy and way higher living standards than the ones before 1989. Nato and US alignment 100% over communist dictatorship. This is coming from a Romanian.
@@SomeoneSomewhere90s "Growing economy" ???? 🤣😂
I hope having the title of the poorest country in the eurozone was worth it
That's not Romania. We actually have the a gdp per capita close to Poland at this point and above Hungary.
Also, the poorest country in the EU still has a better life quality than Russia, Belarus or a country from Africa.
@@andreitaga5988 you funny man, better than Russia, yaaap, I believe you (no), tell me how much Poland or Romania pay for gas
@@user-no3nq6ne4j So life quality relies strictly on the price of gas bills? Fuck hospitals, parks, infrastructure, pollution and corruption.
You tell me what is the cost of life for the invasion in Ukraine. How many young Russians had to die because of a dream of a dictator? How is life quality for them?
@@andreitaga5988 You won’t believe it, but in Russia everything is fine with parks, hospitals and education, maybe you didn’t know, but it’s free
@@user-no3nq6ne4jwhat about the quality?
romania was a happy nation before 1989
That's false. No one was happy. The securitate wanted you to believe this and your comment is pure proof that propaganda from that time was effective
People were queuing 5 hours for a slice of expired ham. Communism was a failed experiment. Even China has shifted more and more to capitalism. Although I don’t support extreme capitalism, capitalism with slight government regulatory oversight is much better than communism.
@@andreitaga5988 hmmm i dont think so.. just compare those times with the ones now
Gdp raised from 40 billion to 400 billion and more exports than ever compared to the communist period. Stores are full of food you can buy as you please. @@fireleaks434
@@andreitaga5988 stores are full of fake shit and marketing is there only to scam its clients and we have in stores romanian products that are very scarce so not a good argument actually
Să trăiască Republica Socialistă România
Uite că, spre fericirea multora, n-a trăit
Shame on anyone who supports death penalty or execution.
I condone violence but Ceausescu ordered the protestors to be shot at. He knew the repercussions if the revolution succeeded.
He had no excuse for himself and defending him makes no sense
Автор? Куда сбежал? Твоя методичка больше помочь не может? Против фактов не попрёшь?
Очередного калмуниста порвало.
"Против фактов не попрёшь?" А ты эти самые “факты” предоставлял? Плюс, автор никуда не сбегал. Он досихпор продолжает отвечать на бред людей которые симпатизируют коммунизму.
@@Honorbound-hw2dp во-первых: мы с ним много говорили, но я разбил все его аргументы.
Во-вторых: он прекратил мне отвечать после того, как я разнёс серию его аргументов и привёл свои. Мне всё равно, что он говорит другим, многие из них малолетки, которые не могут привести аргументы. Конечно же, таким легче-лёгкого ответить.
Плюс, почти всё что он говорил: пропаганда и бред, не подкреплённые фактами.
Посмотрим, ответит ли автор...
@@Redstrategistpouvez vous m’en dire plus sur la politique de Ceaucescu, les mensonges occidentaux sur dos
@@Honorbound-hw2dpthank you. I don't argue with these type of people, it's just a video on the internet in the end

Ironic sa spui asta pe o platforma care nu ar fi putut exista in Romania comunista si sub un video care la fel ar fi fost ilegal. Capitalismul te inconjoara si daca tot esti atat de nostalgic ia treci tu in Rusia lui Putin.
@@andreitaga5988RUclips is communist right now, censoring certain things that doesn’t even allow you to publish freely unless you agree to its terms and conditions don’t be so naive
RUclips is private property. You don't like their rules then don't use the platform. Free speech is negociable on a non-public domain.@@grega6958
