Gheorghe Gheorghiu Dej’s Funerals
Gheorghe Gheorghiu Dej was the first Communist leader of Romania from 1948 until his death in 1965. Officially he died of liver cancer but there are rumors that he was intentionally irradiated during a visit in Moscow.

Beyond a simple portrait
Alex Galmeanu – Self-portrait

Totul se intampla la ora 20:00 intr-un cinematograf organizat ad-hoc la Orange Concept Store pe Calea Victoriei langa Magazinul Muzica.

Bucharest under heavy bombing – part two
These images are relatively new on the Internet. It was a little bit shocking for me to see them. I just heard some stories from my grandfather and from some books that the Bucharest was hit in 4th and 15th of April 1944 by American and Britannic planes but I never guessed that it was at this scale.
23rd of August Military Parade
I found these pictures in my father archive. I suppose that the images are made in 1952 or 53. This is an 23rd o of august military parade (the national day in the Romanian communist era). The pictures are shoot in Saint Gheorghe Square (this is between Unirii and Universitate Square).
