Trente ans après la découverte des horreurs de la dictature Ceaușescu, en Roumanie, nos reporters ont enquêté sur l'un des épisodes les plus sombres de l'histoire du pays, celle des "foyers-hôpitaux", où des milliers d'enfants ont été placés et maltraités. Alors qu'une partie de la société est nostalgique de l'époque communiste, le travail de mémoire et de justice est loin d'être abouti en Roumanie.

Today we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history that occurred 35 years ago this month - the Romanian Revolution of 1989. This episode is from our archive and features, Mark Brayne, a former Reuters and BBC journalist, who provides a gripping first-hand account of the tumultuous events that led to the fall of Nicolae Ceausescu. As Mark recounts his experiences, listeners are given a rare glimpse into the life of a journalist reporting from a war zone. He embarks on a perilous journey to Bucharest, navigating roadblocks and dodging bullets to report on the revolution. His determination to capture the story amidst chaos and danger is a testament to the courage and resilience of journalists who risk their lives to bring us the news. Beyond the historical events, Mark shares personal reflections on how these experiences shaped his life and career. The emotional intensity of covering such significant moments led him to a new path as a psychotherapist, helping others navigate their own traumas. This episode is not just a recounting of history but an exploration of the human stories behind the headlines. It highlights the bravery of journalists like Mark, who venture into the unknown to bring us closer to the truth. For anyone interested in history, journalism, or the human condition, this episode is a must-listen.

This week Johnboy brings the tale of Nicolae Ceausescu, the conniving and cruel dictator of Romania who forced excessive childbirth on the population, razed homes to construct North Korean style palaces and cities, achieved status internationally as a rogue of the eastern bloc and finally was brutally executed along his evil bride on Christmas Day!

L'edificio più pesante del mondo è il Palazzo del Parlamento di Bucarest, in Romania: un gigante con una massa 41 volte maggiore rispetto al Colosseo. Stiamo parlando di un palazzo con un peso di 4,10 milioni di tonnellate per una superficie di 350.000 metri quadrati e 1100 stanze. La sua costruzione, costata 3 miliardi di euro, nasconde una storia terribile. Il Parlamento di Bucarest, infatti, fu realizzato nel 1984 dal dittatore rumeno Nicolae Ceausescu che - approfittando di un recente terremoto - fece demolire edifici ancora integri, obbligando più di 40mila persone ad allontanarsi dalle proprie abitazioni. In questo episodio vi raccontiamo la storia del Palazzo del Parlamento Rumeno di Bucarest, analizzandone le caratteristiche. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ma le chiacchiere sui soldi di Nicolae Ceausescu nascono dalle sue immagini di propaganda che lo ritraevano felice e sereno mentre faceva la spesa in negozi ben forniti, lodando l'alta qualità della vita in Romania, quando in realtà il suo popolo faceva la coda per comprare il pane. Questa è la storia di un dittatore particolare che ha modellato uno Stato sui propri ideali, cercando di sradicare le radici rurali con una massiccia industrializzazione ma a carissimo prezzo, economico e sociale. Un prezzo pagato col sangue nel giorno di Natale del 1989.

La storia della Romania è una storia per molti versi di splendore e di profondi legami con l'Europa. Ma poi passa attraverso i legami con il nazismo di Adolf Hitler e con l'imposizione del governo stalinista. Fino alla presa di potere da parte non di Dracula ma di un semi-dio: Nicolae Ceausescu. E i riconoscimenti a quel suo potere arrivano persino da Mickey Mouse!

Ladette Randolph has served as editor-in-chief of Ploughshares literary journal since 2008, where she had acquired numerous notable essays and short stories. A publishing professional for 30 years, she is co-owner of the manuscript editing firm Randolph Lundine, and the author of five award-winning books, including A Sandhills Ballad, a New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice book, and most recently the novel Private Way. Under Ladette Randolph's stewardship, Ploughshares is thriving with a solid endowment and an increasing pull toward essays that speak to disturbing trends happening in America and abroad. In this episode, the focus is on five essays of which one, Extractions,” by Mihaela Moscaliuc, centers on life as a young female in Nicolae Ceausescu's Romania. There, it's as if one's pregnancy belongs to the state so eager is it increase the birthrate. Telltale signs of repression are everywhere in an essay notable in part for its chilling, subdued voice. A second essay, “Commuting” by Victoria Gannon, depicts life in the Bay area, with San Francisco rents skyrocketing and greedy developers eager to squeeze out below market renters. In Jesse Lee Kercheval's “Minera” a great-grandmother's ghostly presence haunts an essay in which (to quote Minerva) “When you can't move in this life, you die,” and yet the narrator must deal with quicksand, menstrual cramps, her cancer, and helping a woman trapped—in of all things—an igloo somehow survive. Rounding out the discussion were stops at two other, commendable essays; J. D. Mathes' “On the Origin of Time: A Meditation” and Sarah Twombly's “The Difference Between Life and Death.” In the first case, the narrator finds a measure of peace in exploring music and learning “to play one note and try to get inside it.” In Twombly's intensely lyrical piece, a death-wish swim off the coast of Maine in the wintertime becomes an ode to how the water “beads, gulps and roars, thunders and spits.” Dan Hill, PhD, is the author of ten books and leads Sensory Logic, Inc.

A Christian who faced persecution for her faith in Communist Romania in the 1980s and barely survived an assassination attempt orchestrated by dictator Nicolae Ceausescu warns that the undermining of parental rights in the U.S. today echoes Ceausescu's totalitarian government."It's the same system that the socialists use in order for parents to be put in jail that the students, kids, will be taught in school to report their [parents] to school," Virginia Prodan, a human rights lawyer who grew up in Communist Romania but came to the U.S. after President Ronald Reagan secured her release, tells "The Daily Signal Podcast."Enjoy the show!

Orange Jesus is a term coined not by democrats, but by Republicans themselves. In her new book entitled “Oath and Honor”, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) describes a scene in which a fellow House member called former President Trump “Orange Jesus.” Cheney says that while in the GOP cloakroom in the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, members were encouraged to sign onto electoral vote objection sheets: “Among them was Republican Congressman Mark Green of Tennessee. As he moved down the line, signing his name to the pieces of paper, Green said sheepishly to no one in particular, ‘The things we do for the Orange Jesus.'” 1 “Trump is not only a danger to the United States and our democracy, but also a danger to the world. And because I was born in Romania and lived part of my life under a dictatorship, I think the best way to go about this subject is to tell some personal stories, things that happened to my family under Ceausescu's regime in Socialist/Communist Romania, make some analogies and point out some striking similarities between what Nicolae Ceausescu did in my native country, the aftermath of his policies, what some other dictators did too, and what Trump has done and plans to do here in the United States. The 2024 Presidential Elections have the potential, if Trump wins, to impact and reshape the geopolitical order.” – Sandra, Dubious Creator and Co-Host. Identified similarities: Refusal to relinquish power; Disdain for the free press; Censorship, propaganda and disinformation; Isolationism; Abortion bans; Criminalizing homosexuality and eroding LGBTQIA rights; Dehumanizing rhetoric like “vermin” (usually leads to genocide); Rampant corruption; Using religion to manipulate and radicalize people; Limited freedom of movement for certain demographics; The cult of personality; A love for grandiose military parades; Political repression; Turning truth on its head: Trump recently said that Joe Biden is a danger to democracy. Trump says he never swore an oath to support the constitution. His lawyers, in their appeal against the Colorado lawsuit, reiterated that the wording of Section Three of the 14th amendment does not apply to people running for president and that Trump technically did not swear an oath to "support" the Constitution. Trump: “I'll be a dictator, but only on day one.” 23 Donald Trump is the biggest danger to the world in 2024. A second Trump presidency would be more dangerous than the first to the United States and globally by orders of magnitude. 4 1.

Stephen Smith on our fascination with the belongings of the rich and famous... or infamous. 'Years ago, after the fall of the Romanian dictator, Nicolae Ceausescu,' writes Stephen, 'I entered his by now ransacked hunting lodge and made off with the late president's ....coat hanger. That's right: Ceausescu's coat hanger.' As the possessions of the altogether more savoury personality, Freddie Mercury, go on show next week before they are auctioned, Stephen ponders why we aspire to have and to hold something which belonged to a notable figure.

Cette semaine, Andi et Guigui, une histoire d'exil et une fabuleuse amitié. Cet épisode a été diffusé une première fois le 27 octobre 2022. –Andi et Guigui se rencontrent en 1974 à la fac d'architecture de Bucarest, en Roumanie. Une amitié très forte naît au premier regard. Autour d'un club culturel mêlant théâtre, cinéma et musique, ils entendent vivre pleinement leurs vies de jeunes adultes. Mais à cette époque, les rêves de liberté et d'insouciance se heurtent au régime communiste de Nicolae Ceausescu. Ils comprennent rapidement que leur unique moyen de rédemption est l'exil. Dès lors, les deux amis scellent un pacte : le premier qui réussira à passer à l'Ouest fera tout pour faire sortir l'autre. À travers leur histoire, Andi et Guigui questionnent notre rapport à l'amitié et au courage : jusqu'où sommes nous prêt·e·s à prendre des risques pour ce qui en vaut la peine ? Pour nos ami·e·s, pour la liberté ?Cet épisode de Passages a été tourné et monté par Natacha Avram. Lucile Aussel en a fait la réalisation. Le mixage a été assuré par le studio La Fugitive.

În acest episod, vorbesc despre copilăria lui Nicolae Ceaușescu și ascensiunea lui înspre cele mai înalte funcții de partid. Aflat la București și muncind ca ucenic de cizmar, el e atras de mișcarea comunistă. Arestat de mai multe ori, tânărul arată o determinare și o fidelitate remarcabilă față de partid. La Doftana și în alte penitenciare, e luat sub aripa "greilor", care îl simpatizează. După intrarea în legalitate a partidului, prietenia cu ilegaliștii din închisori se dovedește a fi tare utilă, iar Ceaușescu devine, până la 36 de ani, al doilea om în Partid. Pe plan politic, e plăcut a fi omul care numește oameni în funcții. Viața devine și ea mai dulce, familia Ceaușescu bucurându-se de ani buni și fericiți.Support the show

Last week, we put on the proverbial raincoat and made like Columbo to investigate Peter Falk's claim that he recorded a special Cold War message telling Romanians to “put down their guns.” This week, we're back on the case, and what started out as a zany inquiry goes to some serious and surprising places. Part two of this caper, involves dubbers, propagandists, a couple of 90 year olds and the legacy of a brutal dictatorship. It's a story about celebrity, diplomacy, memory, and the limitations of all three—and about the power of television not to get Romanians to put down their guns, as Falk would have it, but to pick them up.

Last week, we put on the proverbial raincoat and made like Columbo to investigate Peter Falk's claim that he recorded a special Cold War message telling Romanians to “put down their guns.” This week, we're back on the case, and what started out as a zany inquiry goes to some serious and surprising places. Part two of this caper, involves dubbers, propagandists, a couple of 90 year olds and the legacy of a brutal dictatorship. It's a story about celebrity, diplomacy, memory, and the limitations of all three—and about the power of television not to get Romanians to put down their guns, as Falk would have it, but to pick them up.

Olga Campora is denied entrance to college in Czechoslovakia because she's not a communist. After reapplying with a new strategy, she is accepted, and introduced to yoga. One yoga practice after another, a holy book in her hands, and against all odds, Olga comes across God. Olga first read the Book of Mormon in the fall of 1980 in the Czech Republic and was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on July 11, 1981 Click to access the audio clip of Nicolae Ceausescu's speech about the invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 used in this episode.  2 Nephi 2:25  

Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu were the iron-fisted Communist tyrants who ruled Romania for 24 brutal years.  During their reign, the Romanian people endured decades of oppression, murder, starvation, human rights abuses, political imprisonments, spying, involuntary commitments to mental institutions, threats, and thievery. It was a disgusting state of affairs. But when a minor protest blossomed into a full-fledged revolution, Ceausescu and his secret police were sent to flee their inevitable fate. And on Christmas Day in 1989, Elena and Nicolae Ceausescu would ultimately pay for their depraved and indifferent rule. Machine gunned down just minutes after their hastily conducted trial as they joined the dustbin of history. It's 'eye for an eye' justice on this episode of Smoke Filled Rooms.

I met my soul sister Leila during my master coach training in Dubai and I felt very drawn to her from the very beginning. She is a beautiful soul and has a beautiful smile and that fact that we can converse in French made her even more attractive to me. She studied Microbiology in Algeria but due to political instability and unrest in her home country she moved to Abu Dhabi nearly 25 years ago and worked as a French teacher and head of Department at a private school before she educated herself in the Personal Development field In this episode, she talks about her first trip to France, her trip around the world on a ship as the wife of the captain and how Nelson Mandela was freed while they were in South Africa and how they got stuck in the Port of Constanza during the time that Nicolae Ceausescu was executed in Romania. She is also telling me her journey about how she decided to remove her hijab and that her love for God has not changed because of it and how she thoroughly enjoys the swimming in the sea. She is a Master NLP Coach and Master Hypnotist and the co author of one the international bestselling books series "Magnetic Entrepreneur. A Personality that Attracts. She is also a certified Business Coach. https://leilaatbi.com/

Autour d'un club culturel mêlant théâtre, cinéma et musique, ils entendent vivre pleinement leurs vies de jeunes adultes. Mais à cette époque, les rêves de liberté et d'insouciance se heurtent au régime communiste de Nicolae Ceausescu. Ils comprennent rapidement que leur unique moyen de rédemption est l'exil. Dès lors, les deux amis scellent un pacte : le premier qui réussira à passer à l'Ouest fera tout pour faire sortir l'autre. À travers leur histoire, Andi et Guigui questionnent notre rapport à l'amitié et au courage : jusqu'où sommes nous prêt·e·s à prendre des risques pour ce qui en vaut la peine ?

Zbrodnia i polityka 3. Nicolae Ceausescu, dyktator Rumunii i jego żona Elena. 6 godzin zmieniło najpotężniejszą parę w wystraszonych, opuszczonych staruszków. Dekady bezwzględnych rządów, błyskawiczny proces i najsurowsza kara. Muammar Kadafi, prezydent Libii, najdłużej rządzący dyktator Afryki. Dla USA wróg publiczny numer jeden. Jego śmierć oficjalnie była zbiegiem tragicznych okoliczności.

“WE'RE NEVER GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS, OKAY?” On this week's episode of Retro Grade Podcast, we talk about 2007's 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, from Romanian filmmaker Cristian Mungiu starring Anamaria Marinca and Laura Vasiliu. Over the past few weeks, the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, giving states the ability to make abortions illegal to millions of people. We wanted to watch a film that covered that same scenario, and try to see the challenges that those characters went through to try and get an abortion. We go over the story, which see's Gabita trying to get an abortion during the1980s in Romania where they are illegal, and what her friend and roommate Otilia does to help her. We cover the setting, the structure, pace, tone and see how they all add to create a thriller that resembles a few other films that we have talked about on this podcast. We cover how the film was shot, with many long takes to add to the realism of the film and how the cinematography was used to put the viewer directly in the head of Otilia as she is constantly running into obstacles. We talk about the themes of the film, not only about what it says about abortions, but about oppression towards woman, the tactics some men will use to establish dominance over women, but also the camaraderie and friendship that will arise between women when facing oppression. Towards the second half of the episode, we begin to go over the real life setting that the film is based on, how Romania fell into economic turmoil, and how this lead to Decree 770, the decree by communist Romanian government of Nicolae Ceausescu. It restricted abortion and contraception, which did double the birth rate in the first few years, but would also increase the death toll of women from having illegal abortions, and increased the number of orphans in the country. We also try and see why so many films about unplanned pregnancies were released in such quick succession during 2007 (Knocked Up, Juno, Waitress, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, and lastly Revolutionary Road). This is the most difficult film we have covered on the podcast, but thankfully we have a special guest that will help shed even more light on this topic, Victoria, co-host of the Impure, Rethought podcast which covers how purity, patriarchy, and profit have shaped Western culture, be sure to give them a listen!Music is from Triune Digital and audio clips pulled from movies we will be reviewing in other episodes.Artwork by @jannelle_o

C'est un véritable cas d'école de ce que l'on appelle un "emballement médiatique" que nous allons vous raconter ce soir dans "Jour J". Tout portait à croire que les faits étaient avérés, et pourtant il n'en était rien... Au départ, il y a un pays : la Roumanie et à sa tête un tyran, Nicolae Ceausescu. Il dirige le pays d'une main de fer depuis 34 ans. En 1989, le communisme disparaît peu à peu de la surface du globe, emporté par un vent de liberté qui trouve son apogée avec la chute du mur de Berlin, le 9 novembre 1989. Partout en Europe, les dictatures communistes sont tombées les unes après les autres, comme un château de cartes rouge, sans recours à une violence extrême. Ecoutez Jour J avec Flavie Flament du 03 mai 2022

Ruta Sepetys is a an acclaimed “crossover” author (read by both young people and adults) of historical novels. In her latest novel I Must Betray You (Philomel Books, 2022) published by Philomel Books in 2022, she dramatizes the last days of the communist dictatorship of Nicolae Ceausescu in Romania in 1989. A 17-year-old boy, Cristian Florescu, feels compelled to become one of the legions of civilian informants in the service of the regime to help his family. Young Cristian becomes involved in the violent revolution against the regime in December 1989. Sepetys' story reveals the real tensions among Romanians in this closed society and the angst that drove so many ordinary people to risk their lives in revolting against the totalitarian regime. Sepetys interviewed many who lived through the last days the Ceausescu regime in order to recreate, through the use of historically informed imagination, the inherent suspicion and fear of Romanians of not only their government but also their fellow countrymen.
