I was thirteen back then. I remember knowing pretty much exactly what was going on, I was a pretty well versed kid about politics back then. People say that it was a complete shock, well it wasn't. For weeks and even months prior and even throughout the 80's there was this talk that it might actually happen and it kind of culminated with the whole thing.
Wasn't all roses and happiness though, Romania's way was a bit harsh, killing both Ceaucescu and his wife on camera. And of course the Balkans, went really bad over there.
