Marianna Prysiazhniuk : Hello, we are from Ceausescu! The Kremlin’s Last Hope in România

The information bombs planted by the Kremlin in Romania (and in Moldova, which remains part of Russia’s “anti-Romanian front”) are exploding one after another. Emotions have not yet subsided from the scandalous statements of Romanian Senator Diana Șoșoacă, who proposed annexing Ukrainian territories when several more Kremlin “canned goods” have manifested themselves.
Can you imagine that in about 30 years, the Berkut officers (a particular unit that shot protesters during the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine in 2014) who killed Ukrainians on Euromaidan will be in parliament during some election? This is precisely the scenario that has already been realized in Romania today, and it has been implemented with the support of Russia. Evidence of this – is on the surface.
The “AUR” (“Union for the Unification of Romanians”) party, which will be discussed below, entered parliament in 2020. No one in Ukraine might have noticed this if representatives of this party had not launched a clumsy anti-Ukrainian propaganda campaign in Romania, which has intensified in recent months.
Russia’s interests in Romania are pretty predictable today – to undermine support for Ukraine and confidence in European institutions and NATO. And, of course, manipulating the patriotic sentiments of citizens is the best way to do this. In this case, the Kremlin relies on pawns that have long been accustomed to pecking at Moscow’s hand.
And when in Ukrainian realities, firstly, the communists fulfilled Moscow’s tasks, and only then Yanukovych’s proxies have come to power … in Romanian reality, this role is still played by the servants of the regime of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, who was overthrown more than three decades ago. A new galaxy of ” friends of Russia” is also actively accomplishing the task, and they have already made their way into the Romanian parliament.
But what does Ceauşescu, executed 33 years ago, have to do with this? Let’s start with a bit of history.
The dictator Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife, Elena Ceausescu, were shot in the courtyard of a small house where a special tribunal was urgently organized on December 25, 1989. A series of shots still stick to those walls in the town of Târgoviște. Ceauşescu actually ruled the country from 1955 until his death sentence, and the extent of the abuse of the people in those days still remains a sensitive topic for Romanian society.
