December 1989's Revolution Days in Slatina

Summary/Abstract: By reconstituting and analysing December 1989's events, historians cannot offer an entire real image of what happened because of certain documents' inaccessibility. The attempt to reveal those events led to using oral history. These events against the communist regime started in Timişoara, on the 16th of December1989. Among the facts that determined people to start an anticommunist revolt there was also the lack of food, and power breakings; all these also increased people hatred towards the dictatorial couple. Finding itself in this situation, the communist systern -that was structurally corrupted - had to remove the leading couple and change the political system. The wind of change was more and more perceptible, even in Slatina where collective consciousness was getting transformed to communism's detriment. This study is meant not to he a reconstitution of December 1989's events, but to bring out to light some aspects that could be thoroughly studied in the future.
