The Romanian Revolution, the final and most violent act that marked the fall of communist regimes in Eastern Europe. 🇷🇴

On December 21, 1989, Romanian communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu delivered his final speech before the Romanian people, who were weary of poverty, hunger, and repression under the communist regime. This sparked an uprising that liberated Romania from the tyrannical grip of the red party, culminating in the execution of Nicolae and his wife on Christmas of the same year.

The Romanian flag with the emblem removed became a symbol of the Romanian Revolution, signifying the end of an era of pure repression and poverty in the history of the country.
