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.
PS:
I would like to acknowledge and celebrate my admission to a media outlet called the “Darkcast Network”. I am now in leagues with a slate of amazing podcasters who produce true-crime, conspiracy, and occult-themed shows. I feel right at home and I hope to make my network proud. Cheers!
