A Brief History of Nicolae Ceaușescu | Story Time in Bucharest’s Revolution Square

Learning about the life and times of former Romanian dictator & General Secretary of the Romanian Communist Party Nicolae Ceaușescu who held office from 1965 to 1989.
???????? You can see all of my ROMANIA videos here →

The end of Nicolae Ceaușescu's life is one of the most dramatic stories I've ever heard so in this video I decided to tell it! Starting with an explanation of who he was, what he stood for, the hardship he brought to the Romanian people and the incredible way his dictatorship ended a few days before Christmas Day in 1989.

I visited the former Communist Party headquarters in Bucharest to tell one of the most consequential and surreal tales in recent Romanian history. The building overlooks Revolution Square (Piața Revoluției) and the Memorial of Rebirth (Memorialul Renașterii) which I talk about in the video.

Exploring Bucharest | History and Guide to Romania's Capital

Bucharest has a vast history that dates back hundreds of years, and the city is full of amazing architecture. But it can also be a pretty ugly city - with a lot of ugly things that's happened there.

Join me on a tour through Bucharest, from the Arcul de Triumf to Old Town, and from the Parliament Palace and Revolution Square to a quirky bookstore called Carturesti Carusel. As I show you the sights I also tell you of the history of the city, dating back to 1459.

Invasions, earthquakes, communist rule and dictators - Bucharest has been through a lot. And Dracula himself, Vlad Tepes, was the one who started the transformation of Bucharest from a small town to a proper city. So expect a lot of strange and interesting tales throughout this video.

And yes. Of course Nicolae Ceausescu will also be discussed. You can't tell the story of Bucharest without going into the events of the 1989 revolution.

10 Things NOT to Do in Romania

Get more Tips here!

There’s a whole lot to do in Romania. Of course, to make the most out of your Romanian holiday, you should consider following these 10 Things not to do for avoiding trouble.

1. Don’t Sleep on the Romanian People
Romanian people have a reputation for warmth and hospitality and their sense of humor isn’t what you’d expect at all.

2. Don’t Talk About Dracula
Yes, Romania was once home to a bloodthirsty conqueror named Vlad Dracul, a man who just loved sticking people on pikes. You might be there to visit Dracula’s home town, but the people know about the guy and he kind of bores them.

3. Don’t Zone Out When You’re in a Cab
A lot of taxi drivers will try to take advantage of you for being out of your element . Just pay attention to the route your driver is taking and the pricing labels listed in the cab itself.

4. Don’t Forget Bribe Money
It’s not uncommon for doctors or police officers to expect a little gratuity just to do their job correctly. A lot of bribes can run you around $100, but in life-threatening emergencies, it can increase. That’s not true of every state professional, but it does happen.

5. Don’t Flash Your Valuables in the Open
Romania has some issues with petty theft and pickpocketing. As a result, keep your valuables out of site as much as possible and never keep your money where it can be easily plucked from a pocket.

6. Don’t Forget Your Dictionary
While a significant portion of the Romania population does speak English, major locations don’t often have signs in English. So, when you’re trying to navigate the country, it’s a good idea to have a dictionary on hand.

7. Don’t Go Partying Lightly
If you have the opportunity to go drinking with some locals, you should know that even on week nights, drinking can go late into the night; at weddings, dancing until the sun comes up is expected.

8. Don’t Expect to Enjoy Driving
Romania is undeniably beautiful. Unfortunately, it’s highly likely that your trip to said natural beauty will be somewhat tarnished thanks to Romania’s shoddy infrastructure. The roads are minefields of pot holes and missing gaps.

9. Don’t Leave Without Visiting an Old Village
You shouldn’t leave the country without taking in some of Romania’s rich cultural history, such as the hovels in Transylvania that have gone relatively unchanged for hundreds of years, or the Ardeal’s picturesque towns.

10. Don’t Expect People to Withhold Private Information
The Romanian people will gladly tell you private information soon after you meet them. Don’t be put off by it; just roll with the punches and enjoy yourself. That kind of candid behavior is too rare to be rebuffed.

Where do you want to know what not to do in next?

Solo Through Romania's Dark Past ????????

????????Deep in the heart of Eastern Europe lies the nation of Romania. A mysterious land to many with its own history of villains and heroes. And it was in search of one such polarising figure that I began a journey across this land ( by the world’s greatest train ) in the footsteps of Ceaucescu. Join me on this personal journey which I have long dreamed of making as we trace the leader’s final days in power and his ultimate demise.

Shoutout to all the friendly Romanian people I met on the journey.

The prequel to this video can be found on the Daily Bald channel.
