Also, notice the raised fist type salute, typical to Communists and leftists.

Yeah, Denes, "Noi muncim, nu gândim", right... (We work, we don't think) That actually was a slogan in 1990!

"Not thinking?" Because about the "work"...... |

![]() ![]() My guess is that, somehow different from nowadays, back then, most of the people there really believed in those words! Today we're much too cynical - and the "mici şi bere" strategy is working! -------------------- M

Some authors state that this moment (of Soviet troops parading in Bucharest) was the oficial "beginning of the end" for Romania (the royalist state, non-popular, that is). The rest seems, from our p.o.v, at least, like a story whose final we know - Petru Groza, then Gh. Gh. Dej, then Ceauşescu and finally Iliescu

Hey, I've just read in a book (written by Mr. Petre Otu) that the (in)famous "Tudor Vladimirescu Division" entered Bucharest on 31.08.1944! Is it a mistake? I knew nothing about that unit entering Bucharest until now...

From Rus.Wiki :
On August 31, 1944, the 2nd Ukrainian Front entered Bucharest and on 3 September, on american "Studebakers" also entered the Div.Tudor Vladimirescu. When they advanced through the streets of the city, the population happily rushes out to meet them with flowers. |

Thanks, but that could be any Russian unit, AFAIK... @Petre: thanks, as well; does the Russian wiki say which unit had the "privilege" to enter Bucharest first? -------------------- M

@MMM: That's the picture's caption. Anyway, they had the division's emblem on their uniforms.
