Guys,
as usual, "Jurnalul National" - my favourite newspaper in Romania - comes with a surprising, innovative and impressively professional concept. 20 years after the anti-communist revolution (December 22nd, 1989), the end of the 47 years communist era of Nicolae Ceausescu, they decided to write the honest, bare naked reality day-by-day from the last year of the regime.
Social climate, agriculture, oppression of religion, school system - they will all be presented as they were at that time. By the end of the year, all followers of the diary will be able to get a very clear glimpse of what life was like, understand why our parents have a certain attitude towards today's society and, why not, understand Romanians better as a nation.
I have dropped a note to the chief editor of the newspaper - to ask for an English version of everything - unfortunately they seem to be out of translating resources. So I have decided to choose the most relevant article of the week, translate it myself and post it here. For those who are interested for more, we can talk about it :)
