Imagine if you had been told in March 2022, when the part in blue was under Russian control, that the situation would look like this almost four years later.

On this day, December 25, 1989, Ceaușescu, who had ruled Romania for 34 years, was executed by a rebellious populace.
His party won 99.7% of the vote in the last elections, with a turnout of 99.9%.
