	Nicolae Ceausescu killer file
		Ceausescu serves as secretary of the Union of Communist Youth until 1945, the year he is appointed as a brigadier-general in the Romanian Army.
		Meanwhile, Ceausescu's personality cult is increasingly boosted by the state-controlled media, which lionises him as the greatest genius of the age, the 'Genius of the Carpathians', the 'Danube of Thought', the "guarantor of the nation's progress and independence", the "visionary architect of the nation's future".
		Ceausescu makes a final attempt to address the crowd, but seeing that situation is now out of his control he flees the capital with his wife, boarding his personal helicopter from the roof of the party headquarters building.

	NICOLAE CEAUSESCU
		Nicolae Ceausescu was born third of ten children to a peasant family in a rural community and, at age eleven, was working in the factories of Bucharest.
		In 1982 Ceausescu decided to close their national debt of $21 billion assumed in 1972, so as a result Romanians were to stand tremendous privations for the next eight years and in 1990 the country got within $1 billion to reach the goal.
		Ceausescu was also a paranoiac, he feared that his enemies were constantly trying to kill him by poisoning his clothes so he used to wear a different suit each day.

	The personality cult of Elena Ceausescu
		Elena Ceausescu’s life was a peculiar one – she started off as daughter of a poor peasant, to later rise quickly in power as her husband Nicolae became president of the Communist Republic of Romania – ending with her execution in 1989.
		Elena was born in 1919 to a poor peasant family in Oltenia, a rural region southwest of Bucharest (Lovatt 1).
		Elena’s public life was made of manipulated information such as the creation of a false Ph.D., a political career thanks to the fact that she was the wife of Nicolae Ceausescu, and a eulogizing biased press.

		Ceausescu rejected the proposal in a brief speech, possibly because of the objections of Western communist delegates in attendance and the potential damage the appointment would cause to his international image.

		Much of Elena's appeal as a female idol was fiction, and perhaps the post-89 revelation of the extensive fantasy surrounding her also damaged the potential for women in Romanian politics.
		Elena Ceausescu's failures in her school days and her position as wife of the leader resulted in an inferiority complex.
		Elena Ceausescu merely conjures up an image of extravagance in the face of a backward and suffering society: hardly the perfect example for an aspiring female politician today.

		Ceausescu is bound to happen when the system of values is totally reversed, and Behr makes this clear with detachment and professionalism, without minimizing the responsability of the rest of Romanians.
		There's also an unflattering look at Elena Ceausescu, nee Petrescu, who was a lousy student and whose doctorate in chemistry was gotten by bogus means--she didn't even know the formula for sulfuric acid.
		Although Ceausescu and his wife are long gone, they left their mark on Romania the same way Stalin did his on the Soviet Union, and it's likely to continue for years to come.

		Ceausescu won popular support when he refused to take Romania into the Soviet run COMECON (Council for Economic Assistance), claiming that becoming subservient to COMECON was inadmissible for a Communist state, offensive to the pride as well as injurious to the Romanian economy.
