November 1987, the Berlin Wall is still balance, but the first cracks begin to appear in 'Europe' s East, thanks to 'action of Pope John Paul II , Lech Walesa and Ronald Reagan.
Romania rather than going through one of the darkest moments of its history, after the sinister dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, who controls the whole country through the pervasive Securitate decided to equalize the balance of foreign payments borne by all the Romanian people, through a number of restrictions and deprivations that affect the energy sector el 'power. Electricity and fuel are rationed to everyone, including hospitals, except for rare exceptions, senior members of the RCP, the Romanian Communist Party. The people are almost to starvation, and while Nicu Ceausescu use military aircraft to take the lead from the U.S. favorite beer, Budweiser, the country is almost nothing, you take a shower with the 'cold water and go to sleep clothes.
The situation is completely different from what I found in my first trip, at age 17, in 'August of 1972, when, for various reasons, the country was the richest of' communist Europe.
First of all why was the character of these people neo-Latin: hard worker, devoted to family, welcoming and supportive. Secondly, the special relations with the United States of Nixon, who began running anti-Soviet offering millions of dollars in loan scheme. Dollars but often ended up in the accounts of Nicolae and Elena his wife, a few loyalists of the Court or used for the Palestinian cause of 'Arafat or friend to export the system to other nations like the Democratic Republic of Congo Mobutu.
So, the situation in 1972 was high: several summer resorts were full of tourists, not only foreigners but also Romanians hotels of higher quality than the standard communist arose in different places such as Mamaia, Eforie Nord and Sud, Venus , Jupiter, Saturn, Olimp, Neptun, Mangalia and Costinesti. Among the foreigners, the most numerous were the Germans on the strength of Mark, and the Italians for the beauty of local women, sometimes forced into prostitution in the form of exchange is not just about money (he was then flourishing black market, and Leu, the currency local, could be changed up to 10 times its value), women's stockings, perfumes but also vague promises of marriage, the 'only way to escape to the West. Promises often then not kept, which, along with the bad reputation of our behavior, helping to build a bad reputation on the Italians.
But I found myself right now, I made many friends at once, and I began to learn and study not only the Romanian culture, I began to appreciate already in Italy with the readings of Codreanu, Horia Sima and Eliade, but also to spy on and closely evaluate communism, which was the purpose of my trip. To witness was far away from reality as the idyllic vision of Italy proposed in communism with a human face, which never existed and never will exist. As we will see it in these posts that I will devote all my 'anniversary of the Romanian revolution, communism is just a synonym for blood, death, misery, destruction, poverty and tyranny.
