Elena Ceausescu: biography

It is impossible to speak about this woman only in white or black colors. If only because she could, having no education (in a village school in which she did not finish her studies, she was given only one good mark - in needlework), to be the right hand of her husband - the president of Romania. Together they ruled the country for more than 20 years. Without any diploma, she was at the head of the Academy of Sciences of Romania and the largest chemical company of the country - ICECHIM. She is Elena Ceausescu, wife Nicolae Ceausescu and the mother of their three children - Nick, Valentine and Zoe.

Childhood

In the commune Petreshti (Judet Dymbovitsa, in the region of Walachia), in a typical peasant family on January 7, 1919, a girl named Elena was born. The whole family existed thanks to the work of the father - a local plowman. Not much is known about how Elena Ceausescu spent her childhood, but some records made in her homeland say that she did not enjoy studying at school, so she did not finish it, so she ran away from there. Yes, and the level of knowledge that Elena got (at that time Petrescu), left much to be desired, because only by needlework she was able to excel among classmates in primary school.

Having stopped studying, she and her brother moved to Bucharest. At first she worked as a laboratory assistant, and then settled in a textile factory.

Party activities of a low-educated textile worker

At the age of 18, Elena Ceausescu became a member of the Romanian Communist Party. And after 2 years, while still a very young Communist underground, she gets to know her future husband. He was just shortly before he was released from prison, which was serving in Doftan prison. To say that the young man was fascinated by her is not to say anything. He fell in love at first sight. Marriage of Nicolae and Helena Ceausescu was registered immediately after the Second World War ended.

Several decades this woman with a truly steel character and reinforced concrete will managed to play one of the main roles in the state.

The wife of a genius

And before that, after the textile factory, she had worked for some time at the chemical plant. This came in handy to Elena many years later, when she became head of the country's largest chemical laboratory - ICECHIM. A very short time passes, and the wife of the greatest "genius of the Carpathians" is showered with various scientific degrees like rain. Now Elena Ceausescu, whose execution was a complete surprise to many, is called the "luminary of science" and heads the Academy of Sciences of Romania.

Take-off on the political Olympus

Elena Ceausescu With his character warehouse could not remain on the sidelines ever. Moreover, being married to such a person as the President and Secretary General of Romania. When Nicolae made official visits abroad, she almost always went with him. An important political lesson for her was a state visit to the PRC, where she saw firsthand the real power of a woman - the wife of Mao Zedong, who was called Jiang Qing.

The history holds back, what exactly served as an impetus for the further development of the situation, but it is quite possible that Elena's enthusiasm was fueled by this trip. After all, just after the visit of 1971, she began a rapid rise on the political ladder in her country.

In July of the same year, she is already a member of the Central Commission for Socio-Economic Forecasting, and a year later Ceausescu is already a member of the Central Committee of the RCP. A year later she was elected to the executive committee of the party.

The eightieth year brought her the portfolio of the first deputy prime minister (in parallel with this one must remember that the president of the country at that time was her husband Nikolay). In her honor they wrote very long odes, in the lines of which she was compared to a star standing with the Great Husband and looking around her eyes with the way of Romania leading to victory.

Habitual life of Romanian rulers

Nicolae Ceausescu for the last few years of his cruel government was very afraid of being poisoned or infected with any disease. Over time, he gave this fear to his wife Elena. After each official meeting or any diplomatic reception, where it was necessary to shake hands with the protocol, the spouses must wash their hands with a medical solution.

Any trip abroad was accompanied by an unchanging ritual: a servant and a hairdresser cleaned all the hotel linen and replaced it with the personal attire of the Ceausescu couple, which was brought in the sealed suitcases of their Bucharest. Underwear and table napkins were subjected to constant ironing to exterminate microbes, despite the fact that all this was sterilized and sealed in sealed bags.

The whole room in any hotel guards always treated with antiseptics - power switches, door handles, floors, carpets, even upholstered furniture. With Ceausescu constantly traveled a personal chemical engineer - Major Popa, who always had a portable laboratory handy. After all, Nicolae was afraid of poisoned food, even if it was brought from Bucharest. Therefore, all the products that came to the table to the spouses were tested in this laboratory.

But all these precautions became zero when the people's uprising took place.

The last breath of the "great"

On December 18, 1989, Nicolae Ceausescu went on an official visit to Iran, but two days later he had to return: a revolution began in his country, the main idea of which was the overthrow of his dictatorial regime.

The couple fled from Bucharest by helicopter. Then they seized the car of one of the workers and forced him to speak as a chauffeur and go seek refuge for them. At times her husband could not stand it, tears rolled down his face. Elena Ceausescu, whose execution (as well as her husband) will cause many to shudder, stood like a rock: threatening the worker with a pistol, she gave him orders, what and how to do.

A little later the couple asked for shelter in one of the private houses. The hosts welcomed them cordially, and then, locking the Ceausescu couple in the room, the soldiers were summoned. In the city of Targovishte at the military base, where the spouses were brought, a tribunal was organized. They were accused of genocide and tyranny. Of course, there is a significant amount of truth in this. They called themselves the beloved children of the people, and the common people, in their understanding, did not need love. They brought sumptuous dishes and outfits from abroad, while the people were starving, receiving 200 grams of bread a day. Their efforts led to an armed attack on people and state power. By their actions they prevented the correct development of the country's economy.

The couple Ceausescu rejected all charges. Nikolai shouted that he would speak only before the Grand National Assembly, that he would never admit this court.

When they were invited to talk about accounts in Switzerland, both Ceausescu shouted that this does not exist. And when they demanded that all the funds from these accounts be transferred to the State Bank of Romania, Nicolae replied that nothing would be translated. The couple did not tell the court which funds the scientific works of the "academician" Helen Ceausescu and the selected works of Nicolae were published abroad.

They were sentenced to capital punishment. The shooting of Nicolae and Helena Ceausescu Was held on December 25, 1989 at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Elena did not understand what the word "genocide" means. According to one assumption, their bodies were buried in the place Targovishte in an unmarked grave. Experts from the US, after carefully studying the posthumous photos of the spouses, suggested that they could have been killed before the trial.
