'''Nicolae Ceausescu''' was the [[Communist]] [[dictator]] of [[Romania]] from the late 1960s until his overthrow in 1989. He is most famous in the West for his [[totalitarian]] governance, personal extravagance, and for banning [[abortion]] in an effort to increase the Romanian population. After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of Communism in Eastern Europe, Ceausescu was overthrown by a popular uprising. Within days of being overthrown, he and his wife were both executed by an impromptu military court on a wide variety of charges.
