Njezet e kater vite nga pushkatimi i diktatorit rumun, Nikolae dhe bashkeshortes se tij, Elena Causheskut... English: https://youtube/watch?v=-OcMwfuTuzw The mass meeting of 21 December, held in what is now Revolution Square, began like many of Ceauşescus speeches over the years. With the usual Marxist-Leninist wooden language, Ceauşescu delivered a litany of the achievements of the socialist revolution and Romanian multi-laterally developed socialist society. However, hed seriously misjudged the crowds mood. Several people began jeering, booing and whistling at him. Others began chanting Ti-mi-şoa-ra! Ti-mi-şoa-ra! Ceauşescus uncomprehending facial expression as the crowd began to boo and heckle him remains one of the defining moments of the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe. He tried to silence them by raising his right hand, and when that didnt work, offered them a raise of 100 lei per month. Failing to control the crowds, the Ceauşescus finally took cover inside the building, where they remained until the next day. The rest of the day saw an open revolt of the Bucharest population, which had assembled in University Square and confronted the police and army at barricades. The unarmed rioters, however, were no match for the military apparatus concentrated in Bucharest, which cleared the streets by midnight and arrested hundreds of people in the process. Nevertheless, these seminal events are regarded to this day as the de facto revolution. Although the television broadcasts of the support meeting and subsequent events had been interrupted, Ceauşescus reaction to the events had already been imprinted on the countrys collective memory. By the morning of 22 December, the rebellion had already spread to all major cities across the country. The suspicious death of Vasile Milea, the defense minister (later confirmed as a suicide), was announced by the media. Immediately thereafter, Ceaușescu presided over the CPEx (Political Executive Committee) meeting and assumed the leadership of the army. However, believing that Milea had been murdered, the rank-and-file soldiers went over virtually en masse to the revolution. Ceauşescu made a desperate attempt to address the crowd gathered in front of the Central Committee building. However, the people in the square began throwing rocks and other projectiles at him, forcing him to take refuge in the building once more. One group of protesters forced open the doors of the building, by now left unprotected. They managed to overpower Ceaușescus bodyguards and rushed through his office and onto the balcony. Although they didnt know it, they were only a few meters from Ceaușescu, who was trapped in an elevator. He, Elena and four others managed to get to the roof and escaped by helicopter, only seconds ahead of a group of demonstrators whod followed them there. Shortly afterward, the PCR disappeared. During the course of the revolution, the western press published estimates of the number of people killed by the Securitate in attempting to support Ceauşescu and quash the rebellion. The count increased rapidly until an estimated 64,000 fatalities were widely reported across front pages. The Hungarian military attaché expressed doubt regarding these figures, pointing out the unfeasible logistics of killing such a large number of people in such a short period of time. After Ceauşescus death, hospitals across the country reported an actual death toll of less than 1,000, and probably much lower than that. Ceauşescu and his wife Elena fled the capital with Emil Bobu and Manea Mănescu and headed, by helicopter, for Ceauşescus Snagov residence, from where they fled again, this time for Târgoviște. Near Târgoviște they abandoned the helicopter, having been ordered to land by the army, which by that time had restricted flying in Romanias airspace. The Ceauşescus were held by the police while the policemen listened to the radio. They were eventually turned over to the army. On Christmas Day, 25 December, the two were tried in a brief show-trial and sentenced to death by a military court on charges ranging from illegal gathering of wealth to genocide, and were executed in Târgoviște. During the trial, Ceauşescu repeatedly denied the courts authority to try him, and asserted he was still legally president of Romania. The video of the trial shows that, after sentencing, they had their hands tied behind their backs and were led outside the building to be executed.
