Bucharest bombing cont d First regarding the planned resistance article yes I d be fine with mentioning 1990 within the body of the last section What I don t want happening and what Anonimu seems to desire is to give the impression that everything came to a halt when bullets hit the Ceau escus bodies Clearly there was a denouement to it all and we should make sure the next months are touched upon in the context of continuing resistance which is likely what the protesters saw it as Of course we also do have to stop somewhere Cristian Tudor Popescu said on TV recently that alegerea lui Traian B sescu nu a fost un act de anti comunism ci de anti corup ie so for him the anti Communist movement is still ongoing As for pre December 30 1947 material once again I agree that a prehistory section would be a good idea we just shouldn t give the impression that resistance arose suddenly on the day the People s Republic was proclaimed since things were definitely stirring before that time Furthermore although I don t know this for a fact it s even possible that anti Communist resistance took place between 23 August 1944 and 6 March 1945 not necessarily in the form of opposition to domestic Communists since there was as of yet no Communist controlled government but in the form of anti Soviet sabotage That is the liberators were probably not universally welcomed But as always reliable sources are a must Now on to the bombing I seem to have stumbled on a pretty broad topic I ve found eleven New York Times articles from 1944 referencing various bombings of Romania including one of a Soviet bombing of Gala i I also have five Internet sites that could be of use 1 2 3 4 5 on bombings of Bessarabia then just being recaptured by the USSR plus a sixth already mentioned 6 For now that s all the information I have and I will work on incorporating it as time permits By the way and I mentioned this on Jmabel s talk page the political context of the spring 1944 bombings is probably worth a mention as a good portion of Romania s political leadership was seeking a way out of the war after Stalingrad even Antonescu himself to some extent Could the bombings have had as their aim not only physical destruction but also persuading anti Fascist forces to step up efforts to switch sides It s an intriguing possibility as the switch did happen quite soon afterwards and secret negotiations were also ramped up eg in the form of tirbey s mission to Cairo Mul umesc pentru edit ri i am s i zic tu dac a a dore ti
