Taken from wikipedia:

"By the late 1980s, the Communist Party—and indeed, nearly all other institutions in Romania—had become completely subordinated to Ceaușescu's will. This was in contrast to the situation in other Communist countries. Most ruling Communist Party leaders were merely first among equals, even with the great power that came with their posts. Although Ceaușescu was a national Communist, his absolute control over the country and the pervasiveness of the cult led several non-Romanian observers to describe his regime as one of the closest things to an old-style Stalinist regime."

Ceausescu was seen as one of the most popular and strong leaders of the Warsaw pact during the 1970s and 1980s, to the point that expressing views against him would make not only his authorities persecute you, but also the common people.

This cult, as we know, collapsed in the late 1980s, and so I wanted to know how, and some possible sources about it.
