Ceausescu's Romania - The Untold History
LIKE / COMMENT / SUBSCRIBE / HIT THE NOTIFICATION BELL
A non-exhaustive account of the Romanian Socialist Experiment.
Corrections and Disclaimers:
- I'm not a subject expert
- The history isn't literally 'untold' but it's also not readily available.
- For the purpose of accessibility I divide my analysis in to 'Successes' & 'Failures' - of course we can't be categorical in our treatment of any aspect being wholly positive or wholly negative and should try to maintain as fluid and rounded a view as possible on all aspects of the time period.
- There are other videos on the site detailing Romania's anti-abortion laws in detail, therefore I have excluded this aspect of the history from m video.

Farewell Comrades! Urbanization in Romania (1970s)
Romanian propaganda report
Still a very rural country in the 1970s, with less than half of the population living in urbanized areas, Romania was undergoing radical transformation. In 1967, Ceausescu's Socialist power launched a program of "territorial systematization", with the goal of multiplying the number of towns, especially middle-sized ones over the following 20 years. This report from the official television station praises the merits of "modern and harmonious" urbanization. In reality, rural populations where often forced to migrate to the cities, and daily life was precarious in highly indebted Romania.

Corrections and Disclaimers:
- I'm not a subject expert
- The history isn't literally 'untold' but it's also not readily available.
- For the purpose of accessibility I divide my analysis in to 'Successes' & 'Failures' - of course we can't be categorical in our treatment of any aspect being wholly positive or wholly negative and should try to maintain as fluid and rounded a view as possible on all aspects of the time period.
- There are other videos on the site detailing Romania's anti-abortion laws in detail, therefore I have excluded this aspect of the history from m video.
- This is a non-exhaustive account and not a perfect video by a long stretch but there were so few vids up on the site I on the subject I thought why not upload. Comradely / constructive criticisms welcomed.

Romanian propaganda report
Still a very rural country in the 1970s, with less than half of the population living in urbanized areas, Romania was undergoing radical transformation. In 1967, Ceausescu's Socialist power launched a program of "territorial systematization", with the goal of multiplying the number of towns, especially middle-sized ones over the following 20 years. This report from the official television station praises the merits of "modern and harmonious" urbanization. In reality, rural populations where often forced to migrate to the cities, and daily life was precarious in highly indebted Romania.

What do you think about Bucharest in the fall time? We are in love with the colours, so we took a walk to the heaviest building in the World.
The Palace of the Parliament, also known as the Republic's House or People's House/People's Palace, is the seat of the Parliament of Romania, the national capital. The Palace reaches a height of 84 metres, has a floor area of 365,000 square metres and a volume of 2,550,000 cubic metres. The Palace of the Parliament is the heaviest building in the world, weighing about 4,098,500,000 kilograms, also being the second largest administrative building in the world (The Great Pyramid of Giza is about 50% heavier).
The construction of the Palace of the Parliament was the most extreme expression of the systematization program imposed by Nicolae Ceaușescu, the president of Communist Romania. Systematization was a program of urban planning carried out by Ceaușescu, who was impressed by the societal organization and mass adulation he saw in North Korea's Juche ideology during his East Asia visit in 1971.
Stay tuned because we will post more videos from Bucharest.

PALACE OF THE ROMANIAN PARLIAMENT, BUCHAREST, ROMANIA
The Palace of the Parliament (Romanian: Palatul Parlamentului), also known as the Republic's House (Casa Republicii) or People's House/People's Palace (Casa Pop...
The Palace of the Parliament (Romanian: Palatul Parlamentului), also known as the Republic's House (Casa Republicii) or People's House/People's Palace (Casa Poporului), is the seat of the Parliament of Romania, located atop Dealul Spirii in Bucharest, the national capital. The Palace reaches a height of 84 m has a floor area of 365,000 m2 and a volume of 2,550,000 m3. The Palace of the Parliament is the heaviest building in the world, weighing about 4,098,500,000 kilograms, also being the second largest administrative building in the world.(The Great Pyramid of Giza is about 50% heavier.)
The building was designed and supervised by chief architect Anca Petrescu, with a team of approximately 700 architects, and constructed over a period of 13 years (1984–97) in Socialist realist and modernist Neoclassical architectural forms and styles,with socialist realism in mind.The Palace was ordered by Nicolae Ceaușescu (1918–1989), the president of Communist Romania and the second of two long-ruling heads of state in the country since World War II, during a period in which the personality cult of political worship and adoration increased considerably for him and his family.
Known for its ornate interior composed of 23 sections, the palace houses the two chambers of the Parliament of Romania: the Senate (Senat) and the Chamber of Deputies (Camera Deputaților), along with three museums and an international conference center. The museums in the Palace are the National Museum of Contemporary Art, the Museum of Communist Totalitarianism (established in 2015) and the Museum of the Palace. Though originally named the House of the Republic when under construction (Romanian: Casa Republicii), the palace became widely known as The People's House (Romanian: Casa Poporului) after the Romanian Revolution of December 1989. Due to its impressive characteristics, events organized by state institutions and international bodies such as conferences and symposia take place there, but despite this about 70% of the building remains empty.
As of 2020, the Palace of the Parliament is valued at €4 billion, making it the most expensive administrative building in the world. The cost of heating, electricity, and lighting alone exceeds $6 million per year, comparable to the total cost of powering a medium-sized city
History
The construction of the Palace of the Parliament was the most extreme expression of the systematization program imposed on Romania by Nicolae Ceaușescu. Systematization was a program of urban planning carried out by Ceaușescu, who was impressed by the societal organization and mass adulation he saw in North Korea's Juche ideology during his East Asia visit in 1971. Ceaușescu decided to implement similar policies in his country, with the stated goal of turning Romania into a "multilaterally developed socialist society."
A systematization project had existed since the 1930s (during the time of King Carol II) for the Unirii–Dealul Arsenalului area. The Vrancea earthquake of 4 March 1977 gave Ceaușescu a pretext to demolish parts of old Bucharest. He wanted a civic center more in line with the country's political stance and started a reconstruction plan of Bucharest based on the socialist realism style. The House of the Republic was the centrepiece of Ceaușescu's project. Named Project Bucharest, it began in 1978 as an intended replica of the North Korean capital, Pyongyang. North Korean President Kim Il-sung had started construction on a similarly monumental residence, the Kumsusan Palace, two years earlier.
A contest was held and won by Anca Petrescu (1949–2013), who was appointed chief architect of the project at the age of 28. The team that coordinated the work was made up of 10 assisting architects, which supervised a further 700. Construction of the palace began on 25 June 1984, and the inauguration of the work was attended by Ceaușescu, who also frequently inspected the site.
Uranus Hill was leveled so the building could be erected. The area had also been home to the National Archives, Mihai Vodă Monastery and other monasteries, Brâncovenesc Hospital, as well as about 37 old factories and workshops. Demolition in the Uranus area began in 1982. Approximately 7 km2 of the old city centre were demolished, with 40,000 people being relocated from the area.
The works were carried out with forced labour in addition to soldiers, minimizing costs.
Between 20,000 and 100,000 people worked on the site and project, operating in three shifts made up of 5,000 Romanian People's Army soldiers and huge numbers of "volunteers". A controversy is how many people died, official data suggest 27 but individuals who worked or were forced to work here talk of a much higher number, some say thousands.
The Palace of the Parliament sinks 6 mm each year due to its weight. Romanian specialists who have analyzed the data have explained that the palace's massive weight is causing the layers of sediment below the building to settle.

The Palace reaches a height of 84 metres (276 ft), has a floor area of 365,000 square metres (3,930,000 sq ft) and a volume of 2,550,000 cubic metres (90,000,000 cu ft). The Palace of the Parliament is the heaviest building in the world, weighing about 4,098,500,000 kilograms (9.04 billion pounds; 4.10 million tonnes).[1]

The Palace is in Sector 5 in the central part of Bucharest, at the top of Dealul Spirii (Spirea's Hill), also known as Dealul Arsenalului (Arsenal Hill). It is at the west end of the 3.5-kilometre (2.2 mi) Bulevardul Unirii (Union Boulevard), constructed at the same time as the Palace, and is ringed by Izvor Street to the west and northwest, United Nations Avenue to the north, Liberty Avenue to the east and Calea 13 Septembrie to the south.

The construction of the Palace of the Parliament was the most extreme expression of the systematization program imposed on Romania by Nicolae Ceaușescu. Systematization was a program of urban planning carried out by Ceaușescu, who was impressed by the societal organization and mass adulation he saw in North Korea's Juche ideology during his East Asia visit in 1971. Ceaușescu decided to implement similar policies in his country, with the stated goal of turning Romania into a "multilaterally developed socialist society."
A systematization project had existed since the 1930s (during the time of King Carol II) for the Unirii–Dealul Arsenalului area. The Vrancea earthquake of 4 March 1977 gave Ceaușescu a pretext to demolish parts of old Bucharest.[12] He wanted a civic center more in line with the country's political stance and started a reconstruction plan of Bucharest based on the socialist realism style.[3] The House of the Republic was the centrepiece of Ceaușescu's project. Named Project Bucharest, it began in 1978 as an intended replica of the North Korean capital, Pyongyang. North Korean President Kim Il-sung had started construction on a similarly monumental residence, the Kumsusan Palace, two years earlier.
A contest was held and won by Anca Petrescu (1949–2013), who was appointed chief architect of the project at the age of 28. The team that coordinated the work was made up of 10 assisting architects, which supervised a further 700.[13] Construction of the palace began on 25 June 1984, and the inauguration of the work was attended by Ceaușescu, who also frequently inspected the site.
Uranus Hill was leveled so the building could be erected. The area had also been home to the National Archives, Mihai Vodă Monastery and other monasteries, Brâncovenesc Hospital,[14] as well as about 37 old factories and workshops.
