Summary/Abstract: This year marks 25 years since the Romanian Revolution of 1989. During this time, the Romanian society passed through a transition period, with changes in all aspects, it has faced economic international crisis and a series of internal difficulties. Romania turmoil of the last quarter century must not, in any respect, be associated with that end of December 1989. Those days have witnessed a major event, historically speaking, not only for Romania and its people, but for the entire geopolitical world: Romanian Revolution of December 1989. The 25 years that have passed away since then, are not the responsibility of the Revolution or of her rightful perpetrators of those moments. That is the sole responsibility of those who manage at the time given the destiny of the country and its people. In December 1989, thousands of Romanian hearts began to beat a new rhythm. The course of history would be forever changed. But this would have not nod probably the already known outcome, if the courage of many hod not been supported by the warm, mobilizing and sincere words of those who have inspired hope of victory throughout the country, despite the possible dangerous repercussions. Dreams and hopes of millions of Romanians became increasingly palpable, more realistic with every word uttered by the leaders of the Revolution in 1989.
