Thank you for the post. the first time a link to Daily motion, a site that needs to displace youtube. thank you.
The fate of the Ceausescu’s remained on my mind for eight long years after 2008. A ‘dangling participle’ of an historic lesson.
Watched the whole video. Fascinating.
Too bad no subtitles.
Just watched this video, done by a man who came to USA from Russia in 1992 as a baby.

5 minutes, in Russian
A truly glorious day, and how shameful that it hasn’t been repeated in a hundred other countries since then.
The lack of clear video of the shooting is a result of the lead solider, upon seeing them, erupting in fury and opening fire with his automatic rifle. He had been told to wait for the reading of the sentence, but his rage would not be stilled. The others joined him. Over 100 rounds were shot at the monstrous pair. Justice was done to the man who had just days before ordered peaceful protesters shot dead in Bucharest demonstration, sparking the revolution, and the military revolt.
We’ve got our own Elena Ceausescu now, complete with fake degree.
1. Is it just me, or did N.C.’s mouth close while the camera was on him after the shooting? Might that be the actual moment of death? I would not be opposed to his having felt every wound for that long.
2. Mad Max’s memory notwithstanding, the video shows the burials. There may have been a delay for public display between the events, but it doesn’t look like it.
