| ARTICLES RELATED TO Nicolae CeauÅŸescu | | | |  Nicolae CeauÅŸescu: Encyclopedia II - Dracula - Novel backgroundBetween 1878 and 1898 Stoker managed the world-famous London Lyceum Theatre, where he supplemented his income by writing a large number of sensational novels, his most famous being the vampire tale Dracula published in 1897. Parts of it are set around the town of Whitby, where he was living at the time. While Dracula is famous today (due in large part to its 20th century life on film), it was not an important or famous work for Victorian readers, being just another pot-boiler adventure among many. Throughout th ...

| | | | | Nicolae CeauÅŸescu: Encyclopedia II - President - Presidents in dictatorships In dictatorships, the title is frequently taken by self-appointed and/or military-backed leaders. Such is the case in many African states; Idi Amin in Uganda, for example. In some communist states, the head of the Communist party was also given the presidency, such as Fidel Castro in Cuba and Mikhail Gorbachev in the Soviet Union. On other occasions in the Soviet Union, the real power was exercised by the General Secretary of the Communist Party, with some local notable holding the presidency.
President for Life is a title assumed by some dictators to ensur ...

| | | | | Nicolae CeauÅŸescu: Encyclopedia II - Dracula - Historical connections Although Dracula is a work of fiction, it does contain some historical references. The historical connections with the novel, how much Stoker really knew about the history, is a matter of conjecture and debate.
Following the publication of In Search of Dracula by Radu Florescu and Raymond McNally in 1972 the supposed connections between the historical Vlad III Dracula and Bram Stoker's fictional Dracula attracted popular attention. During the six year reign of Vlad III (1456–1462), "Vlad the Impaler" is estimated to ha ...

| | | | | | Nicolae Ceauşescu: Encyclopedia II - Dracula - Analysis The novel is narrated by multiple voices — Jonathan's journal of his trip to Transylvania, Mina's diary, and Seward's recorded journal, as well as letters and newspaper items. Although somewhat crude and certainly sensational, the novel also does have psychological power, and the sexual longings underlying the vampire attacks are manifest.
Despite its important contributions to vampire fiction, several popular traits of fictional vampires are absent. Count Dracula is killed by knives, not a wooden stake. The destruction of the vampi ...

Searching for a way out of the castle one night, he falls under the spell of three ...

| | | | | Nicolae CeauÅŸescu: Encyclopedia II - Vlad III Dracula - Background and family The crown of Wallachia was not passed automatically from father to son; instead, the leader was elected by the boyars, with the requirement that the Prince-elect be of princely lineage (os de domn - "of voivode bones", "of voivode marrow"), including out of wedlock births. This elective monarchy often resulted in instability, family disputes and assassinations. Eventually, the royal house split between two factions: the descendants of Prince Mircea the Elder, Dracula's grandfather; and those of another prince, Dan II (the DÄ ...

| | | | | Nicolae CeauÅŸescu: Encyclopedia II - Communist Romania - Internecine struggle The early years of Communist rule in Romania were marked by repeated changes of course and by mass arrests and imprisonments, as factions contended for dominance. The country's resources were also drained by the Soviet's SovRom agreements. In 1948 the earlier agrarian reform was reversed, replaced by a move toward collective farms. This led to tens of thousands of arrests, as did the effort to liquidate the Uniate Church. On June 11, 1948, all banks and large businesses were nationalized. Romania developed a system of forced labor and politi ...

| | | | | Nicolae Ceauşescu: Encyclopedia II - Communist Romania - The Gheorghiu-Dej era Gheorghiu-Dej, a firm Stalinist, was not pleased with the reforms in Nikita Khrushchev's Soviet Union after Stalin's death in 1953. He also blanched at Comecon's goal of turning Romania into the "breadbasket" of the East Bloc, pursuing a program of the development of heavy industry. He also closed Romania's largest labor camps, abandoned the Danube–Black Sea Canal project, halted rationing, and hiked workers' wages.
This, combined with continuing resentment that historically Romanian lands remained part of the Soviet Union, in the form of the Moldavian SSR, inevitably led Romania under Gheor ...

In February 1949, Albania gained membership in the communist bloc's organization for coordinating economic planning, the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (Comecon). Tiranë soon entered into trade agreements with Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, and the Soviet Union. Soviet and East European technical advisers took up residence in Albania, and the Soviet Union also sent Albania military advisers and built a submarine installation on Sa ...

| | | | | Nicolae CeauÅŸescu: Encyclopedia II - Communist Romania - Rise of the Communists When King Michael (Mihai) overthrew Ion Antonescu in August 1944, breaking Romania away from the Axis and bringing it over to the Allied side, Michael could do nothing to erase the memory of his country's recent active participation in the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Although Romanian forces fought heroically under Soviet command, driving through Northern Transylvania into Hungary proper, and on into Czechoslovakia and Germany, the Soviets still treated Romania as conquered territory, because Romanian authorities were unable to ensure order on the newly-liberated territories and ...

The area received considerable attention for the vast and rich mines that pocked the countryside, turning this undeveloped area into a major mining center. In 1855, the entire Banat area, and therefore the supply of mineral deposits and timber, were transferred from the Austrian Treasury to an Austrian and French mining and railroad company named STEG. STEG introduced the Oraviţa-Baziaş ...

By 1958 Albania stood with the People's Republic of China in opposing Moscow on issues of peaceful coexistence, de-Stalinization, and Yugoslavia's "separate road to socialism" through decentralization of economic life. The Soviet Union, other East European countries, and China all offered Albania large amounts of aid. Soviet leaders also promised to build a large Palace of Culture in Tiranë as a symbol of the Soviet pe ...

As in neighboring countries, by 1989 the bulk of the Romanian populace were dissatisfied with the Communist regime. However, unlike other East European countries, Romania had never undergone even limited de-Stalinization. CeauÅŸescu's economic and development policies (including grandiose construction projects and a draconian austerity program designed to enable Romania to pay back its entire national debt) were generally blamed for the country's painful shortages and widespread, increasing po ...

| | | | | Nicolae Ceauşescu: Encyclopedia II - History of Communist Albania - Consolidation of power and initial reforms A collection of communists moved quickly after World War II to subdue all potential political enemies in Albania, break the country's landowners and minuscule middle class, and isolate Albania from the noncommunist world in order to establish the People's Republic of Albania. By early 1945, the communists had liquidated, discredited, or driven into exile most of the country's interwar elite. The internal affairs minister, Koçi Xoxe, a pro-Yugoslav erstwhile tinsmith, presided over the trial and the execution of thousands of opposition polit ...

| | | | | Nicolae CeauÅŸescu: Encyclopedia II - Dracula - Dracula in Romania After the death of Nicolae CeauÅŸescu, a tourist industry sprung up in Transylvania (and, to a lesser extent, in Wallachia). However, Romanians have mixed feelings about linking one of their national heroes and the vampire monster.
Historical places connected to Vlad Ţepeş are publicised under a Dracula theme catering largely, but not entirely, to foreign markets. Bran Castle, which has only a very tangential connection with the historical Vlad Ţepeş, now exaggerates that connection and promotes itself as "Dracula's Castle". [2] A ...
