Historical Documentation of Romanian Orphanages in the Early 1990s
This photograph, originally published by Der Spiegel in the early 1990s, provides a somber look into the conditions of Romanian institutions for orphans and children with mental illnesses following the fall of the communist regime. The image captures children housed in sparse, overcrowded conditions, highlighting the severe neglect and systemic failures that characterized these facilities during that era. The documentation of these institutions became a significant international scandal at the time, exposing the harsh realities faced by vulnerable youth in state care. This visual record serves as a historical reminder of the humanitarian crisis that emerged in Romania during the transition period after the collapse of the Ceaușescu government.
This has nothing to do with communism. That's just fucked up people....
you will be surprised how similar they were treated in the west. People are evil on both sides of the divide, the only thing that mattered was of how much use you were.
Being a shit structure is not exclusive to communism.
saw those documentaries, i know it used to be a scandal and people people paid money to help the poor children and of course 10 years later nothing changed and the money is gone
Now show how capitalism treated them
that wasn't communism my guy. that was just humans being shitty
That's how the whole world treated orphans, that's how capitalism treats them today in poor countries.
yea and now they let them roam free and they're all over the netherlands making my wallet nervous
I can't understand how, after Ceaușescu, Romanians can flirt with parties and candidates who have close ties to Russia.
This kid was totally enjoying that
