GVPT Professor and Director of the Center for the Study of Post-Communist Societies Vladimir Tismaneanu recently joined ABC Radio’s Nightlife podcast to explore the dramatic downfall of Nicolae Ceaușescu, Romania’s notorious dictator who ruled with an iron fist for over two decades.

In this captivating episode, Professor Tismaneanu delves into the pivotal events of December 1989, when Ceaușescu’s regime crumbled during the democratic revolutions that swept Eastern Europe, leading to the dictator and his wife Elena’s execution on Christmas Day.
