In December 1989 the communist Romania could be considered as a mental-hospital where the lunatics were running the asylum and the “internees” were punished for their sanity. How did we get to have one of the most symbolic dictatorship regimes in the modern history? What and who are to be blamed for this tragic condition? And not the last, how did courageous people stood-up and repudiated the evil leaders? The Grand Tour of Communist Ages is trying to provide answers to these complex questions, and not only.

150.000 people shouted "VICTORY" on the 20th of December when Timisoara was proclaimed the first city in Romania free of Communism. Remembering that moment the square was named Victory Square. Before that, the square was called Opera Square.
We'll see bullet holes on the buildings around.
