Why Did Romania EXECUTE Elena Ceaușescu Without Mercy?

Описание: In a winter marked by bewilderment, Romania experienced one of the most abrupt chapters of its history. At the end of 1989, the regime of Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu collapsed within days, carrying away decades of authoritarianism and repression. The couple was captured and subjected to a lightning trial that ended with an unprecedented verdict. But what amazed the world was not just the fall of the dictator—it was the fate shared by his wife, Elena, accused of being an essential part of a system that kept the country under iron-fisted control. This episode not only marked the end of an era but left a lingering question: how did a secondary figure become the symbol of absolute power? Elena Ceaușescu’s ascent is key to understanding why her downfall was as ruthless as her husband’s.
