The Socialist Republic of Romania (Romanian: Republica Socialistă România, RSR) was a socialist state that existed from 1947 to 1989. Prior to 1965, the nation's official name was the Romanian People's Republic (Republica Populară Romînă (until 1964) or Republica Populară Română (to 1965), RPR). The Marxist-Leninist regime ruled until 1989, when the Romanian leader, Nicolae Ceaușescu, was overthrown and the government replaced with one aligned with Western capitalist interests.
