Elena Ceaușescu was known for her hatred and jealousy of talented, successful, beautiful women, to the point of making sure they did not outshine her.
The information below might not reflect the whole truth, as there are numerous legends regarding this subject.
Violeta Andrei
Who was Violeta Andrei?
Violeta Andrei was a Romanian actress who gained prominence in the Romanian film industry during the communist era. She appeared in numerous films and theater productions, contributing to the cultural landscape of Romania.
The wife of Ceausescu met Violeta in 1972 when the Romanian actress was at the peak of her career. After that, things seemed to take a different turn.
Translated from https://www.gandul.ro/
Violeta Andrei also held a high social position, being the wife of one of the most powerful men in the Communist Party. Ștefan Andrei led the Ministry of Foreign Affairs excellently, having a highly appreciated image in the West, where he managed to open numerous doors for Nicolae Ceaușescu. The fact that Ștefan Andrei married the beautiful actress didn’t sit well with the Ceaușescu couple. Apparently, Elena Ceaușescu wanted Ștefan Andrei to become their son-in-law and, in this regard, she even advised him to divorce. Since this did not happen, all of Elena Ceaușescu’s venom was directed towards the actress Violeta Andrei.
Irina Loghin
Who is Irina Loghin?
Irina Loghin is a famous Romanian folk singer, known both nationally and internationally
The same fate had Irina Loghin in 1982. At that time, she was already established as a singer. She was banned from singing at festivals, but also from appearing on TV and on the radio. Nicolae Ceausescu (the son of the dictatorial couple) was also a big fan.
Ana Aslan
Who was Ana Aslan?
Ana Aslan was a famous Romanian biologist and physician. She is the inventor of Gerovital (H3), which she prescribed to delay the skin aging process.
If you thought from the pictures above that beauty is the trigger of Elena’s tantrums, you might want to take into consideration also her lack of education. In reality, she had finished only 4 years of school.
Becoming the wife of dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, Elena Ceaușescu obtained her doctorate in chemistry in 1967. Her doctoral thesis was titled “Stereospecific Polymerization of Isoprene”, written by other Romanian scientists.
Elena was so blinded by her jealousy that she even refused to grant Ana her last wish before she died, to be buried alongside her family, in the Kalindero-Danielopolu crypt.
