@AnneRabe2 @derspiegel As a Romanian living in #Germany, I find this insulting and misleading on many levels. First of all, #Ceaușescu did not set a room temperature in #Romania, because he would have been in breach of his own policies. 1/n.
@AnneRabe2 @derspiegel First and foremost, we had central heating whenever we had energy supplies for the local burners. That was maybe a few hours a day when the radiators were, maybe, 30+ degree Celsius.
@AnneRabe2 @derspiegel Individual heating was not really available in most places - yes, we had fireplaces/ stoves, but it was difficult to find wood/ coal for them, unless you worked for companies dealing with wood// coal. So a big no for most people.
@AnneRabe2 @derspiegel We barely had drinking water for 4 hours a day, electricity for maybe 20, TV programs for 2 hours/ day and warm water for maybe 12 hours a week.
@AnneRabe2 @derspiegel Secondly, the decision to be subjugated by Russia was not ours, but made in Yalta by UK, US and Russia. So, it was undeserved. But I see some local German politicians asking for a ceasefire in #Ukraine, de-facto calling for those people to be subjugated by Russia, again.
@AnneRabe2 @derspiegel If they think Russia is a good place for people, they should move there, and leave the rest of us - that have not chosen to live in Russia - alone.
@AnneRabe2 @derspiegel But there is more, people would rather freeze in the #EU for 2-3 years, that in #Russia for a lifetime. I'd rather have slightly increased price, than to have to wait in a queue hoping to get bread, milk, TVs, cars and whatnot.
