There is a very interesting BBC digital service programme called 'Days That Shook The World'.
Today was the execution of the Causescus in 1989 in Romania.
There ws a lot of archive footage.
Gruesome.
Apparently the soldiers didn't wait for the order to shoot. They just lost their tempers and opened up.
Over a hundred bullet holes were found in the walls.
The Causescus came across as two old people who couldn't comprehend that they were going to die.
Anyway, withing six months a rat called Ilionescu came to power; he reinstated the Securitat, and supressed all opposition. Brutally.
I guess you can't 'just cage a bird and expect it to fly free',eh?
