Almost 36 years since the counterrevolutionary events in Romania and the execution of of Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife, capitalist barbarity has made most Romanians nostalgic of the pre-1989 years.
A recent INSCOP agency survey reveals that 66% of Romanians consider Ceaușescu a good leader, while only 24% view him negatively. The study, titled Public Perception of Communism: Markers of nostalgia, conducted in July 2025 with a sample of 1,500 respondents.
