%X The author examines the crucial differences between the breakdown of the totalitarian communist regimes in Central Europe and in Romania. For Central-Europeans, Westerners and the international community, the anti-communist revolutions of 1989 are related with 11/9,  the Fall of the Berlin Wallˇ±, and  the Velvet Revolutionˇ±, while for Romanians, the same events are related with the bloody violent repression and confrontation, the faked  show trialˇ± of Ceau escu and his execution. While regime change in other former communist countries is related with terms and sintagms like transplacement, ruptforma, extrication or reforma pactada-ruptura pactada, pacted transition,  the four-player game theory modelˇ±, none of them is relevant for the Romanian case. He is trying to find answers for the questions  Why?ˇ± and  How?ˇ± related with so many events before, during and after 1989.
