"Noi muncim, nu gândim"

At least they were honest.

My guess is that, somehow different from nowadays, back then, most of the people there really believed in those words! Today we're much too cynical - and the "mici şi bere" strategy is working! -------------------- M

True... very true...

I guess they lied about one and told the truth about the other

The rest seems, from our p.o.v, at least, like a story whose final we know - Petru Groza, then Gh. Gh. Dej, then Ceauşescu and finally Iliescu -------------------- M

Is it a mistake? I knew nothing about that unit entering Bucharest until now... -------------------- M

When they advanced through the streets of the city, the population happily rushes out to meet them with flowers.

Here you go.

Thanks, but that could be any Russian unit, AFAIK...
@Petre: thanks, as well; does the Russian wiki say which unit had the "privilege" to enter Bucharest first?
