  Nicolae Ceausescu, 1918-1989
With the death of Gheorghiu-Dej in March 1965, Ceausescu succeeded to the leadership of Romania's Communist Party as first secretary (general secretary from July 1965); and with his assumption of the presidency of the State Council (December 1967), he became head of state as well.
In the 1960s Ceausescu virtually ended Romania's active participation in the Warsaw Pact military alliance, and he condemned the invasion of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact forces (1968) and the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union (1979).
Ceausescu also instituted an extensive personality cult and appointed his wife, Elena, and many members of his extended family to high posts in the government and party.

 NICOLAE CEAUSESCU
Nicolae Ceausescu was the president of Romania between 1965 and 1989.
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.

 Nicolae Ceausescu killer file
Ceausescu is arrested three more times in 1934 and comes to be classified by the police as a "dangerous communist agitator" and an "active distributor of communist and antifascist propaganda".
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.

He forbade testing of the blood supply; because of this and because Romania allowed the use of using shared needles in transfusions for orphans, Romania had over half the cases of childhood AIDS infections in Europe.
