Those who worked for that nefarious regime were not only enemies of the former political system, but they were enemies of the Romanian way of life and of the Romanian understanding of life. A few explanations are necessary in this context. The Romanians were not and are not a heroic people. Those who pretend the contrary, maybe in good faith, are either exaggerating or projecting their own wishes and presenting them as fact. The Romanian people and the Romanian land was set at the crossroads of Europe, and this territory and this people was constantly attacked, conquered and mercilessly exploited.
Romanian history is a history of tears and suffering.
Romanians are neither frustrated nor pessimistic, but rather joyful, optimistic, and above all, very hospitable. This incongruity, between the historical circumstances and the character of the people, has to have an explanation. The explanation is that the Romanians were born Christian. This is no exaggeration. When the Romanians were mentioned in historical documents, they already were presented as being Christians.
