Abstract

On 21 of August 1989, when Tadeusz Mazowiecki - one of the leader of the "Solidarity" trade union (Solidarnosc) - was appointed to lead the Government, Poland made an important step in falling out the totalitarianism. This event wired the leaders form the Communist Block, who were witnessing how the power get out of their hands. Nicolae Ceausescu, considered the last conservative leader form Eastern Europe, got wise to the news from Poland. He called an emergency meeting of the Political Executive Committee of Romanian Communist Party in order to blame the "involvement" of "American imperialists" in domestic policy of the Government from Warsaw. He was also angry to Polish comrades who did not succeed to pull down the influence of Solidarnosc during the last ten years. Ceausescu called in the action the states bellow the Iron Curtain in order to defend the socialism in Poland.
