  Systematization (Romania) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Respecting neither traditional rural values nor a positive ethic of urbanism, systematization is now almost universally agreed to have been a disaster for Romania and a major contributing factor to the uncommonly violent fall of the Ceauşescu regime during the uprisings of 1989.
The initial phase of systematization largely petered out by 1980, at which point only about 10 percent of new housing was being built in historically rural areas.
Systematization, especially the destruction of historic churches and monasteries, was protested by several nations, especially Hungary and West Germany, each concerned for their national minorities in Transylvania.

 Romania
Romania subsequently joined the war against Germany and in the Paris peace treaties in 1947 recovered Transylvania but lost Bessarabia and northern Bukovina to the USSR (they were included in Moldavia and the Ukraine) and southern Dobruja to Bulgaria.
Soviet-style constitutions were adopted in 1948 and 1952; Romania joined Comecon in 1949 and co-signed the Warsaw Pact in 1955; and a programme of nationalization and agricultural collectivization was launched.
Romania's relations with Hungary also reached crisis point 1988–89 as a result of a Ceausescu ‘systematization plan’ to demolish 7,000 villages and replace them with 500 agro-industrial complexes, in the process forcibly resettling and assimilating Transylvania-based ethnic Hungarians.

The Yalta Conference had granted the Soviet Union a predominant interest in Romania, the Paris Peace Treaties failed to acknowledge Romania as a co-belligerent, and the Red Army was sitting on Romanian soil.
Romania's government also took measures to allay domestic discontent by reducing investments in heavy industry, boosting output of consumer goods, decentralizing economic management, hiking wages and incentives, and instituting elements of worker management.
Romania's was nearly the last of the Eastern European communist regimes to fall; its fall was also the most violent up to that time.

Romania developed a system of forced labor and political prisons similar to the Soviet Union, with an estimated 100,000 forced laborers dying in an unsuccessful effort to build a Danube-Black Sea Canal.
Romania was nearly the last of the Eastern European communist regimes to fall; its fall was also the most violent up to that time.
While, ultimately, a great deal did change in Romania, it is still very contentious among Romanians and other observers as to whether this was their intent from the outset, or merely pragmatic playing of the cards they were dealt.

Official projections had predicted that by 1985 Romania's population would have reached 25 million, of which 65 percent would live in urban places, with the increase in urbanization a result of the systematization program.
Although lack of capital appeared to limit the renewed interest in systematization primarily to the Bucharest area, plans for nationwide rural resettlement were merely postponed and not canceled.
Each village escaping systematization was to have a civic center, often referred to as a "Song to Romania House of Culture." These institutions promised to be useful tools for indoctrination and mobilization and were apparently intended to replace churches as the focal point of community life.

 Romania, a country study
The study provides the context for Romania's “revolution,” the violent demise of the detested Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu, the displacement of the Romanian Communist Party by the National Salvation Front, the reemergence of long-dormant political parties, and the escalation of interethnic tensions inside the country and with Hungary and the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic.
Romania, in spite of its fierce prewar anticommunism and long antipathy toward tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union, became one of the first East European states to suffer a Soviet-sponsored communist takeover after World War II.
Despite Ceausescu's growing international isolation, Romania's state-controlled media continued to lionize the “genius of the Carpathians.” The period after 1965 was termed the “golden age of Ceausescu,” an era when Romania purportedly had taken great strides toward its goal of becoming a multilaterally developed socialist state (see Glossary) by the year 2000.

The Soviet Union pressed for inclusion of Romania's heretofore negligible Romanian Communist Party in the post-war government, while non-communist political leaders were steadily eliminated from political life.
Either systematic neglect or outright demolition affected 70% of historic Bucharest, including buildings in the areas such as Magheru-Universitate (the heart of Bucharest), Lipscani, Halelor, Domenii, St. John's Cathedral, Grivitei, and the Gara de Nord, systematization being halted only by the Romanian Revolution of 1989.
By 1985, despite Romania's huge refining capacity, petrol was strictly rationed, with supplies drastically cut, a Sunday curfew was instated, and many buses and taxis converted to Methane propulsion (they were mockingly named "bombs").

Although in the postwar period Romania and Hungary were "fraternal states in the socialist community of nations," bilateral relations were marred by historical hostility, and disputes continued to erupt throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
At Geneva the Hungarian representative accused Romania of "severe violations of basic human rights," while his Romanian counterpart reproached Hungary for "pursuing irredentist goals." The Hungarian government therefore decided to join the Geneva Refugee Convention and to establish refugee camps in the eastern part of the country and in Budapest.
Romania rejected the criticism as meddling in its internal affairs.

The goal of that strategy was economic autarky, which was to be attained through the socialization of assets, the rapid development of heavy industry, the transfer of underemployed rural labor to new manufacturing jobs in urban centers, and the development and exploitation of the nation's extensive natural resources.
Romania's progress along the path of "socialist construction" was acknowledged in 1965 when the country's name was changed from the Romanian People's Republic to the Socialist Republic of Romania.
Throughout the twentieth century, Romania's leaders repeatedly exploited the nationalistic and xenophobic sentiments that the long history of foreign domination had instilled in their countrymen.

The economy began to fail in the 1970s - by 1979 the huge, uneconomic oil refineries were functioning at 10% or their capacity, unrealistic targets were set for factory and agricultural workers alike and the standard of living plummeted.
"Systematisation" was a plan to raze half of Romania's villages and rehouse the inhabitants in new "Agro-industrial" centres where they could be better controlled.
Of equal significance to the systematisation was the razing of one quarter of old Bucharest - the Uranus district which included 10 churches, 3 synagogues and a maze of old streets, villas and small houses - to create a palace fit for a megalomaniac.

 The New York Review of Books: RAZING ROMANIA
Whether the systematization is aimed at Romania's national minorities, especially at the settlements inhabited by the nearly two million Hungarians, or whether it will affect the rural population as a whole, is unclear.
The avowed purpose of systematization in the countryside is to gain arable land and to make such modern facilities as schools available to the rural population.
While it is the Romanian population in the Bucharest area that is primarily victimized by measures thus far taken, the contemplated expansion threatens to strike with particular force the Hungarian and German ethnic communities of the countryside.

 FREE In-depth report - Farm Organization - Romania
Beginning in 1987, an area of at least 500 square meters (or one-third) of each private plot was required to be sown in wheat, and the harvest was to be traded to the state for the yield from an equivalent amount of land cultivated by the cooperative farm.
In the late 1980s, the systematization program aimed to subordinate privately owned land and private plots on cooperative farms to the regional agro-industrial councils and thereby tighten central control of private farming (see Administration and Control, this ch.).
Systematization would eliminate many of the plots, as villages were levelled to create vast fields for socialized farming.

The Centru Civic (literally "Civic Center") is a portion of Bucharest, Romania which was completely rebuilt as part of the scheme of systematization under the dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu.
However, neither of these changed the face of the city as much as the redevelopment schemes of the 1980s, under which eight square kilometers in the historic center of Bucharest were leveled, including monasteries, churches, synagogues, a hospital, and a noted Art Deco sports stadium.
The apartments were originally intended to house Romania's communist elite, but the completed complex is certainly not a preferred residence for the city's new capitalist elite, with the possible exception of buildings that look out on the now-bustling Unirea Square, where the Centru Civic bisects the Dâmboviţa River, which is channelled underground past the Square.

And it's not mentioned at all at Systematization (Romania), either.
The conspiracy theory version suggested by many newspapers in 1990s and never validated or proven false is that the generals that were part of the probable conspiracy tried to create such fictive terrorists to instigate fear, to draw the army on the side of the plot.

He joined the then-illegal Communist Party of Romania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_Romania) in early 1932 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1932) and was first arrested in 1933 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1933) for agitating during a strike (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike).
Initially, he was a popular figure in Romania, due to his independent policy, challenging the supremacy of the Soviet Union in Romania.
Also in the 1960s Ceausescu ended Romania's active participation in the Warsaw Pact (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Pact) (though Romania formally remained a member); he refused to take part in the 1968 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968) invasion of Czechoslovakia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechoslovakia) by Warsaw Pact forces, and actively and openly condemned that action.
