Andrada Tudose: After nine days of violent protests and over one thousand deaths, the Romanian Revolution finally ended with the execution of the dictator, on 25th December 1989. Many years after the fall of the regime, evidence has come to the surface that manipulation techniques have been used on the population in order to achieve chaos during the revolution. So, were the events as simple as presented? Or were the people made to fight in a revolution that was used by politicians to achieve political power? Until this day there is much uncertainty surrounding the days of December 1989. This podcast will explore the events of the 1989 Romanian Revolution and the role of its live broadcasting.

Special thanks to Viorel Domenico for agreeing to participate in this podcast and to Eduard Voinea for voicing the English translation of the interview.
