Patriae, Quo Vadis? [- quo usque tandem]

The plan was to make some time and write this nice and thoughtful and elaborate note on whatever it is that happened or did not happen in Romania, 20 years ago.
But plans are there to fail us. Reasons are irrelevant.
So here are some links, meant as mementos:
the BBC's On This Day's 1989's mention of the re-opening of the Brandenburg Gate and the meanings carried within;
the disputed Wikipedia article on the Romanian 1989 Revolution and the fall of Ceausescu, on this very day, 20 years ago;
the Diplomat - Bucharest's article regarding the 1989 Romanian Revolution, titled 'Justice fails for one thousand dead';
and the History Channel's tiny feature for those with a bit less patience, at this very link.

Make your pick. Yet whatever you'll be deciding to look at, simply recall December 1989 in Romania.
