  1. 1989

    Overthrow and execution of Nicolae and Elena Ceaușescu

    The family’s political dominance ended during the Romanian Revolution. Nicolae and Elena were captured, tried by a military tribunal, and executed on 25 December 1989. Their fall remains associated with the authoritarianism, political repression, personality cult, and economic hardship of the late communist regime.
