Dramatic Uncut Footage of Romanian Revolution After the Fall of Ceaușescu (1990)

- On 18 February 1990, ITN's crew in Romania captured the historic moment Romanian civilians - including a large number of miners from the Jiu Valley - stormed the foreign ministry in Bucharest's Victoria Square, an event also known as the February 1990 Mineriad.
The February Mineriad occurred less than two months after Romania's long-time ruler, Communist dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, and his wife, Elena Ceaușescu, were executed on Christmas Day 1989 - the culmination of the most violent and spectacular of the anti-Communist revolutions that swept across Eastern Europe that year. As this footage makes stark, social unrest and civil disturbances did not stop once the Communist regime had fallen. The Ceaușescu government was swiftly replaced by the National Salvation Front (FSN), led by former Communist official Ion Iliescu. At the same time, Romania's Jiu Valley miners became a prominent force in street-level politics in post-Ceaușescu Romania, the term mineriad being given to the numerous large-scale, violent protests that saw the miners clash with the FSN. The February Mineriad was one such clash, which saw protesters attack the building being used as the FSN's headquarters in dramatic fashion.

I think it’s fascinating that the crowds weren’t throwing stones at the soldiers, and the soldiers did not act as if they were fearful of or hostile to the crowds.
go take a nap
Most of the people didn't actually want Ion Iliescu at that moment...
Everybody understood that he was trying to keep the socialist order in place.
Unfortunately Iliescu was smart enough to understand that this was unwanted and subtly changed his discourse afterwards...
@@RaduB. Si cand te gandesti ca tot noi il puteam da jos.Noi ne-am uitat pasivi.Trist!!
They couldn't. It was forbidden. Because thet shot the people in 22 of december when Ceausescu ordered it.
Most of them were conscript that gave zero fucks.
I’m sitting here in the US with a Lady who was there and she told us all about this- they cut the flags up without the symbol in the middle of it.
History always repeats itself.
you mean Jan 6th Riot?
@@megaotstoy No he means dumb leftoids who parrot ploy stories like a good bot that you are.
@@megaotstoyYes. Also, the impending presidential election of Donald Trump in November 2024. He's dead set on destroying the constitution to create the society these people were liberated from in 1989. Trump is a dictator in waiting.
@@royale7620 Where were you 1/6?
I think it's quite symbolic of how the Soldiers are just holding ground, not being overly hostile. They know their fate is in the hands of their opposing countrymen.

What kind of troops are guys in blue berets? They have very odd uniforms compared to regular romanian army.

@@sorinnita531 Thank you.
Young army cadets ? Less intimidating so as not to rile up the crowd?! :-)
@@GG-hu9dn
Nope. They were paratroopers.
@@GG-hu9dn You asking why the soldiers were so young? Back then the enlistment began at 18 yrs to 20 + yrs old. The enlistment was mandatory for any young man . I was 18 yrs old in those days

lol, so your point is?
@@paulc3735 👍💯🔴USR este singurul partid
care poate moderniza România. Oamenii nu mai
au nevoie de promisiuni, ci de planuri concrete
și funcționale și suntem aici pentru a le pune în
practică. Am început Revoluţia Bunei Guvernări cu
primari USR în cele mai importante orașe din țară
dar și în comunități mai mici, o voce mai puternică
în Parlament, cu mai mulţi deputați și senator
hotărâţi să lupte pentru o #Romaniefarahotie, și
europarlamentari USR care continuă să apere
interesele României la Bruxelles.
That's why we can't sleep.🤣
finally. we need foreign people inr omania to do things because romanians are too corrupt to do anything. i am romanian and i have been through a few places in europe and i can say, romania is the most corrupt country in europe and it starts from the people on the street
How do we know they weren't there on a tour? 😂
Doamne-Ferește de deciziile sau judecățile unei asemenea gloate !
nu i-am inteles multa vreme ... acum imi pare rau ca nu i-au scos ochii lu iliescu si n-au facut o ciorba din creierii lui, jigodia
Pe vremea aceea se foloseau instigatori ai puterii, gloata, la fel se întâmplă și astăzi, se lua după ei și la urmă tagea ponoasele. Securitatea nu a murit, doar un pic a hodinit.
Vremuri grele am trait.
stai sa vezi deacum incolo..

Makes documentary about the mineriad and fails to say how it was all orchestrated by Iliescu
This isn't a documentary. It is archive camera footage with no narration. The hint is in the title.
Ceausescu or the western banks, what do you prefer?

@@simonasjuodka5841How can u be free if u r poor and live in the midst of rich people ?
@@surendramumgai631 give me an effin break, if you are poor but free, at least you have a chance to change your own life. and what's your point, anyway? like if everyone were so wealthy under the time of Ceausescu or any other dictatorships...? 😅
@@cilibalint3169 maximum number of poor people all over the world live in poverty all their lives and die in poverty unless they're helped to come out of that poverty...and that's the whole idea behind helping the poor whether by the state or private charity groups....sorry, u seem to live in a world where things happen magically to people if only they're " free "... Besides, if romanians were not free in 1989 how did they make their revolution and even executed ceausescu and his wife through an act of deliberate murder....in today's romania they can only criticise their leaders but can they make a similar revolution ?

January 6th? anyone?
Exactly the same set up
nu am avut Șaman Chiuanonez :)
Not even close, you Americans should stay at home with these dumb comments. As a foreigner from a mile away you can see Jan 6th was nothing lmao. Try the 2020 Summer, it might come close to it.
Not even remotely the same thing. January 6th was a terrorist attack intended to overthrow democracy and install a dictatorship. The Romanian Revolution was a heroic uprising against a dictator by people wanting democracy. Polar opposites.
Cat de manipulati am fost...CIA isi facea treaba cu succes. Avea ceva dreptate dar a pierdut caci nu doar USA era geana pe Romania.
CIA pe naiba.Influente rusofile,psihoza maselor si frica de democratie.Singurul manipulator a fost Iliescu si guvernul sau.Romanii l-au votat de doua ori pe Iliescu si apoi se plang de saracie si coruptie.Iliescu e ala care a convins milioane de romani sa plece la munca in strainatate.
