Le grand tour des âges communistes à Timisoara
Description
En décembre 1989, la Roumanie communiste pouvait être considérée comme un hôpital psychiatrique où les fous dirigeaient l'asile et les "internés" étaient punis pour leur santé mentale. Comment avons-nous eu l'un des régimes de dictature les plus symboliques de l'histoire moderne? Que faut-il reprocher à cette condition tragique? Et pas le dernier, comment des personnes courageuses ont-elles défendu les leaders pervers? Le Grand Tour des âges communistes tente de fournir des réponses à ces questions complexes, et pas seulement.
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Nous passerons du temps dans l'un des quartiers de Timisoara où nous verrons comment était la vie à l'époque du communisme.
Ici, nous allons parler des débuts du régime communiste en Roumanie. Nous allons apprendre comment il a été installé et voir comment il s'est développé. Nous verrons également une collection privée unique d'objets fabriqués en Roumanie pendant l'ère communiste.
C'est l'endroit où tout a commencé. Nous parlerons des 15 et 16 décembre 1989. Dans l'après-midi du 16 décembre, un jeune homme a arrêté un tramway et son ami est monté dans le tramway et a crié "A bas Ceausescu!"
Peu de jeunes sont morts en protestant dans les escaliers de la cathédrale parce que l'armée a ouvert le feu sans avertissement. Nous verrons quelques trous de balle.
150 000 personnes ont crié "VICTOIRE" le 20 décembre lorsque Timisoara a été proclamée la première ville de Roumanie sans communisme. Se souvenant de ce moment, la place a été nommée place de la victoire. Avant cela, la place s'appelait Opera Square. Nous verrons des trous de balles sur les bâtiments autour.

This was a fantastic tour! Dan was such a knowledgeable and engaging guide. He knew about *everything* we happened to ask about, and showed us such great details (from the type of insulation used to upgrade Communist buildings, bullet holes in building exteriors from revolution, back story on how apartment fences were made by local residents using scraps taken from factory jobs, you name it). We had 4 adults and 4 kids, ages 7-16, and he kept us all engaged- no small feat. Dan’s English is perfect, but he knows a million other languages. My son is learning Hungarian and Dan helped him with that, and went above and beyond sending us links to Hungarian cartoons after the tour to help him study. I work in transportation and had questions about the transit system and Dan knew all about that as well- just a fantastic tour!!
I joined this tour so my daughter who grew up outside the country would learn about the environment I grew up in. It turns out I learned from the tour almost as many new things as she did since reality and history were distorted by the regime in my youth. I highly recommend it to any adolescent or adult.
Dan was an excellent historian and guide!! Thorough and comprehensive, Dan had an answer to all your questions. The tour hit so many interesting aspects of the communistic period and the revolution. If you are remotely interested in communism or Romanian history, you will be happy you chose to do this tour!
We were very lucky and again Dan Codre as tour guide. With his fine humor, his profound knowledge and the ability to inspire others, he gave us a big picture of the communist era in Romania. He covered a wide range of politics, everyday problems and people's lives during this period.
We are a group of artists on a Hip Hop arts cultural exchange program in Romania. We are from different regions in America and Dan’s tour was educational and relational. He was able to accommodate our short time with important points of interest: neighborhoods with communist style buildings, the communist consumer museum and the church where the revolution of 89 began. Fascinating history! Thank you Dan and Timisoara City Tours. This was a fantástic addition to our visit to the city.
Dan gave an impressive tour. We were a group about about 7 Americans here for an arts exchange program. I was so inspired by Dan’s passion and narrative of the revolution in 1989. I highly recommend this tour if you make your way to Timişoara
Our guide Dan took a lot of time to give us an authentic insight into the life of Romanians during communism. Since he also runs many other tours in Timisoara, he has an expert and entertaining answer to every question. It was a lot of fun!
Ich freue mich, dass es euch Spaß gemacht hat! Für mich war auch eine Freude, mit euch zu sein! Ich schicke euch den Film über die rumänische Revolution in Temeswar. Alles Gute!
As an avid historian and someone who studied the 1989 revolutions, this tour was an absolute must! I cannot speak highly enough of the tour and our tour guide Dan, who brought everything to life with his passion and enthusiasm. The tour was made even more genuine given Dan's ability to reflect on his own childhood experiences, and to have such a personal tour was simply amazing. It was great to be able to visit the Communist suburb area where many workers' flats still exist and understand the differences between the architecture, as well as how these have transitioned post-1989. Dan answered all our questions and it was brilliant to be able to explore this living history together, complete with a trip to the Communist Consumers Museum which further demonstrated the starkness of that era. To be able to listen to the views of citizens living through those events by virtue of Dan's translating skills was something so unique to this tour, and it really made this tour more special than any other Communism tour in any other country that I have been. This tour is an absolute must do for anyone remotely interested in 1989, Communism or just how the world exists in the way it does today. It will also bring further places to explore afterwards, as the Communist Consumer Museum is well worth visiting again in its own right.
Thank's for the kind review! I'm glad you enjoyed it and hope to see you back someday to go even deeper into what was Communist Romania! All the best! Dan
Get ready to find out a great deal of stories, a lot of historical facts, cultural references and things you might not read in history books. Since he has documented this tour very well, Ludovic has many interesting things to tell you about communism and the Romanian revolution so you will definitely get an insider’s perspective on how it was, how it all happened.
Ludovic is a passionate guide who knows a lot of stories and has an indepth understanding of communist Romania. I highly recommend this tour!
