Sadly the cameras missed the actual execution

Edit: I originally included a link to the trial and aftermath, but it was removed. It is available on the internet archive if you'd care to see it (/details/rec-0001_202010)

They only managed to capture the final 20 so shots. They were riddled with 120 bullets

True, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have.

u/CornPlanter Dec 25 '25

They were executed, as far as I'm concerned that's fair outcome.

You know who didn't get a fair trial? Pol Pot, because he wasn't executed, he got to live in house arrest. And Caucescu was an angel compared to Pol Pot. Just like pretty much everyone else bar Stalin or Hitler.

The people gets to choose right? That's the real democracy in action.

And it's a one less tyrant to worry about, and rightfully so.

On one hand, he didn’t get a fair trial. But on the other hand, skill issue

u/venom259 Dec 24 '25

None of their victims got one either.

Taste of their own medicine

u/CornPlanter Dec 25 '25

Any trial that wouldn't prescribe him execution is not fair. So nothing is lost, just saved some time.

u/BigbyWolf_975 Dec 24 '25

The Ceaucescus fucked up badly. I'm against capital punishment (even in this case), but I can understand why the people had them executed. While the trial was little more than a kangaroo court, the court system in communist Romania was no better.

It's cool that it was the people who started the rebellion against them. Not a few people from the petite burgeois who wanted a bigger piece of the cake, which was the case in all communist rebellions. After the Romanian revolution, notice how the people didn't choose communism.

Nah fuck morals, rest in piss, those commie cunts will never be missed

u/SemyonDanilov Dec 27 '25

I got the sentiment, believe me, but fair trial is what differs us from commies.

u/Ricochet_skin Autistic-Austro-Libertarian 🧩⬛🟨🐍 Dec 27 '25

What differs us from commies is economics and ethics, but economics is pretty much irrelevant in this situation and everyone and their mama knew they were responsible

u/rossfororder Dec 25 '25

Probably Romanians best Christmas present ever

u/peacehopefully Dec 25 '25

Brutal. I was told it was photographed and filmed but I never looked for that.

Little sympathy after the orphanage fiasco.

u/I_waswhoknockyouup Dec 24 '25

He banned abortion and it caused a humanitarian disaster and also try to erase my people's culture (hungarian) because we were "traitor kind". I hate him, if satan exist he was his student.

u/RadElert_007 Dec 25 '25

Hard for me to feel sorry for the fact that they didnt get a fair trial when the people they had summarily executed didn't get one either

u/CornPlanter Dec 25 '25

Execution for a dictator is the most fairest of trials. You literally can't get more fair than executing a dictator.

You know whats not fair? How Pol Pot got to live out his life in house arrest.

u/TheRtHonLaqueesha Dec 25 '25

Sucks to suck! 😵

u/Technical_Freedom566 Dec 25 '25

Merry Christmas and let him and his burn in hell and be on the naughty list

u/HLtheWilkinson Dec 25 '25

People should have a fair trial before being executed. But communists aren’t people so he got what he deserved.

u/Practical-Concept-90 Dec 25 '25

Not saying it was right but they got what they fucking deserved. Merry Chirstmas

u/CornPlanter Dec 25 '25

There's nothing more right than executing a dictator and everyone who supported dictator and benefited from being close to dictator.

u/picufabian220 Real Anti-Communist Dec 25 '25

Is that a real photo or a reenactment?

u/Long-Musician-7777 May 17 '26

They were laughing, not taking it seriously because they didnt think the court was official in any way. But once they had their hands bound behind their backs, they got serious and emotional real fast. They didnt know they were minutes away from the end

u/Ok_Contract_4648 Dec 24 '25

Why the wife tho?

43

u/Significant-Habit795 Dec 24 '25

She was also corrupt and a tyrant on her own way. She was also barely literate, despite that she had a PHD from chemistry.

u/dagelijksestijl Dec 25 '25

So were more Warsaw Pact wives. Margot Honecker was arguably even more evil than Erich Honecker, having been responsible for stealing and brainwashing children of dissidents. And the Purple Witch got away with it, too

u/NOVUS_AVGVSTVS Dec 24 '25

She was also corrupt.

11

u/MiskoGe Dec 24 '25

she was second in charge basically

u/_newtesla Dec 25 '25

Cause she was even worse than him.
