1989 remains a milestone of dramatic change, the year when the lives of millions of people in Europe changed and freedom was given the chance to flourish. The event marks 25 years since the Romanian revolution of 1989, the making of a free and democratic Romania, and its far-reaching consequences on contemporary Romanian culture and history. The roundtable engages leading personalities directly and actively involved in the 1989’s dramatic events and brings their testimonies about the actions against the Communist regime and the ongoing support to the Romanian dissidents during that time.
