Nicolae Ceausescu was the second, and last communist leader of Romainia from 1965 until his death 1989.

Ceausescu’s reign was similar to that of other communist rulers of the mid 20th century, characterized by the harsh treatment of any who spoke out against him, the fostering of a cult of personality around him and the sudden and sudden end to his rule in the midst of revolution.

Where Ceausescu set himself apart from his communist peers was in the foreign policy decisions he made concerned the soviet bloc and western nations.

The calamitous decisions made in the name of Romanian nationalism, the over-the-top tales of excessiveness and distinct foreign policy decisions are what make Nicolae Ceausescu such an interesting leader of his time.
