We rarely hear or read anything about communism and how many European countries were under the yolk of that terrible political regime.
So, it is interesting to read this blast at the past, as reported in the IHT:
"President Traian Basescu of Romania on Monday formally condemned the Communist dictatorship that ruled his country for more than four decades, the first time a Romanian head of state had officially denounced the Soviet-era system.
"The regime exterminated people by assassination and deportation of hundreds of thousands of people," Basescu told his country's Parliament. He based his assessment on a 660-page report compiled by a presidential commission charged with analyzing the country's Communist past."
Just think! On 1 January Romania joins the European Union.
