You’ve just arrived in Romania, recognized as the final nation to escape the Soviet Iron Curtain following the Revolution in December 1989, according to tour guides. Since World War II, Romanian citizens existed under Soviet Communist governance, enduring over two decades under the rule of Ceausescu during the so-called Golden Era. Life during this era was plagued by freedom suppression, censorship, and even curtailed access to food in the regime’s final years. Yet, oddly, some Romanians look back at this period under Europe’s last dictator with a sense of longing and remorse. The established events of history tell us that in December 1989, the Romanian populace rose up, sparking the Revolution leading to Ceausescu’s fall from power. However, mysteries linger and certain questions about those times remain unaddressed.
