>After 1945 the country was handed over by Stalin to the tiny Romanian communist party, which had almost no popular base, and experienced severe repression, purges and collectivisation. Then in 1964, when the rest of Eastern Europe was emerging from the ice age of Stalinism, Nicolae Ceausescu came to power in the governing party of Romania. Thus began the strangest dictatorship in recent European history. His regime was the most oppressive of all the East European states, modelling itself on Mao’s China and Kim’s North Korea. The Securitate, his secret police, became a byword for repression and petty surveillance; his gigantic palaces took totalitarian architecture to a new level of kitsch.
