Elena Ceausescu

Description

(1916 – 1989) Wife of Romania’s Communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu, and Deputy Prime Minister of Romania. Ceausescu fled with her husband on December 22, 1989, after the events in Timișoara led to the Romanian Revolution, but she and her husband were captured in the town of Targoviste. At the show trial that took place, she answered only a few questions since her husband took a protective role, asked her to calm down and shook his head each time her mouth opened to reply in anger. On the afternoon of December 25, 1989 in Târgoviște they were turned over to a firing squad and executed. Rare. Comes with additional COA from Rolf Ramseier
