“The events in Romania were the most dramatic of all: the street battles which left over a thousand dead, the hastily arranged trial and execution of the communist tyrant Nicolae Caeusescu, and a National Salvation Committee emerging as the new democratic government. However, the top secret archival documents from the Soviet Bloc suggest that the National Salvation Committee and its leader, Ion Iliescu, were secretly backed by the Soviet Union and even requested a Soviet military intervention during the revolution.”
This scenario is true, not just for Romania, but for many of the Eastern Bloc countries. A friend of mine’s parents were Bulgarian dissidents who fled AFTER the “fall of Communism”, because their lives were still in danger from the “Democratic” government. They were nearly denied asylum in the US, since they left the country after the fall, but he said if they had ever set foot in Bulgaria again, his parents would be killed.
Executive Summary:
The Communists/Russians were a bunch of scheming weasels that lied to everybody including themselves and were so smart they couldn’t even realize the basics of human society.
They’re still hateful scumbags that are fooling themselves and are intent on keeping people down.
