Not much. They got to execute Ceaușescu, film it, and show it as a video at Xmas for at least a few years. The whole capitalist part was a sort of added bonus.

- bitL 9y agoFunny Ceaușescu was considered "too progressive" in Warsaw Pact and wasn't invited to all top-level meetings. I've read he even built a highway on top of mountains to have an escape road in case WP's armies invaded RO.
- cat199 9y ago> Funny Ceaușescu was considered "too progressive" in Warsaw Pact and wasn't invited to all top-level meetings. Don't have actual insight here, but 'progressive' to a soviet bloc communist would likely mean 'ultra communist' e.g. hard line stalinist..
- bitL 9y agoAlright, then "dangerously regressive" would be a better term ;-)
- vetinari 9y agoHe was kind of black sheep. In 1968, he refused to take part in the invasion of Czechoslovakia.
