Contemporaries and descendants accuse Nicolae Ceausescu of many sins: he took 1 billion dollars out of the country and placed them in Swiss banks; awarded the rank of colonel of the national army to his beloved dog; he used golden taps, a bathroom and a toilet bowl in his palace ... The contrasting background of these accusations is the poverty of the Romanian people, which in the 1980s was noted even by not too pretentious Soviet tourists. At the same time, in the entire history of the Romanian state since its foundation in 1859, the only period when Romania could pursue an independent domestic and foreign policy was the reign of Ceausescu. Why didn’t the compatriots appreciate this achievement of the “genius of the Carpathians” and shot him and his wife on December 25, 1989 in the courtyard of the army barracks in the city of Targovishte? Did the Ceausescu couple deserve a similar fate? Were there other options for the development of events during the "December Revolution"? Could Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu escape the massacre and escape? This book is devoted to these and other issues of the recent history of Romania, based on the analysis of numerous documents that are inaccessible due to the language barrier to most Russian-speaking readers.
