In December 1989 the killer-dictator was put down.
Several thousand people were killed or disappeared in the process of this bloody coup. The perpetrators were never brought to book.
The image conjures death by hammer and siclke (symbol of Communism) with the armed police in the background.

Poetry in Translation (CLXX): Rumi (1207 – 1273), PERSIA – “E rândul tău”, “It is your turn now”
It is your turn now
It is your turn now,
you waited, you were patient.
The time has come,
for us to polish you.
We will transform your inner pearl
into a house of fire.
You’re a gold mine.
Did you know that,
hidden in the dirt of the earth?
It is your turn now,
to be placed in fire.
Let us cremate your impurities.
(From: Hush Don’t Say Anything to God: Passionate Poems of Rumi
Translated by Sharam Shiva)

Acum e rândul tău
Acum e rândul tău,
ai îndurat cu răbdare,
iar clipa a sosit să purcedem
la schimbarea ta.
Din perla suflului tău vom face
o vatră în flăcări.
Ştii, oare?
Eşti o mină de aur
ascunsă în adâncul pământului.
Acum e rândul tău
să fii trecut prin foc,
defectele tale, toate, făcute cenuşă.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Johnson
One way to lose friends is to say something which is not fashionable about somebody like Boris Johnson: it is so much easier not to think for oneself and to regurgitate what the tabloids say. I noticed it the other day at a drinks party in south London (yes I do have friends south of the river!):
it struck me as plain lazy if not outright silly to repeat like a parrot headlines splashed on the news stand billboards... and caused me not to think much of the person whom I considered until then moderately intelligent before he gave 'his' opinion...
Why not see for myself, judge for myself, rather than recycle cliches?
Boris Johnson's kind of books , although inexpensively sold in paperback (some even in WH Smith at Victoria station - a bad omen) I would not normally read - it is not my thing! However, out of curiosity I decided to order several at my local Waterstone's bookshop (whose native salesmen do not even know how to spell such authors as Glendinning or Ondaatje...):when I put in the order I was looked at with a mixture of incredulity, amusement, suspicion and superiority by the young temp - thankfully I was not going to face him for much longer - these people do not stick for long in such places)...
Back to the story of my Saturday "drinks spotty" (sic) what my friend reproached Boris, among others, was that he appeared to be dressed casually at the Beijing Olympics ceremony, compared with the Chinese official who gave him the flag... I asked myself, where have I seen a British politician doing the same before? was it perhaps at the Cenotaph , the died-in-the wool "old Labour" Michael Foot?
Oh, but you see, Foot had plenty of excuses which would not apply to Boris in a society redolent with the resentment of class war typical of the best Stalinist practices, a society stuck in the mould of political correctness and global lukewarming.
Back to Johnson's books I finished his biography which i found amusing and informative giving a more rounded view of Boris and making him more humane than he otherwise appears, spontaneous, refreshing, cultivated, intelligent, predictable in his unpredictability....
"Cultivated" you say? but this is a cardinal sin which is looked at with greatest suspicion! Come on, who wants to be cultivated?
The other books I decided to read at intervals, a short story at a time and more of it later, For now all I can say from an incomplete trawl is that i would strongly recommend that you make up your own mind (unless it is too arduous or painful) and read for yourself.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Goma
Paul Goma (b. 1935), who denounced the torture and the killings in the communist prisons of Romania, is a Romanian writer who was a political prisoner in his home country. He now lives in exile in France as a stateless person and political reffugee. Two decades after the fall of the dictatorship Goma's sentence given under Ceausesecu has never been quashed and his civil rights in Romania have not been restored - that is in a country which purports to adhere to the laws of civilised Europe, as a member of the EU.
The transition from a communist dictatorship to a democracy is full of spasms, as the current economic and political leavers are in the hands of ex-communists torturers and informers. In a country where the old old practices are carried on in Parliament and the judiciary,it is hardly surprising that millions of Romanians have emigrated, leaving behind children and the elderly.
Paul Goma's books were censored under Ceausescu and to this day his membership of the Romanian Writers Union has not been restored: hardly surprising, or as another romanian writer exiled in France, Emil Cioran said:
" Balkans - that taste for devastation, for internal clutter, for a universe like a brothel on fire the last "primitives" in Europe." -
