Romanias Parliament Palace is the worlds largest civilian building and its construction was ordered by Communist leader Nicolae Ceaușescu who was later executed in a public square. It is said that some 20,000 workers toiled in 24-hour shifts, seven days a week, to build the extravagant Palace for which Ceausescu had to take on enormous foreign debts. In order to repay these debts he systematically starved the Romanian people, exporting all of the countrys agricultural and industrial production as the standard of living in Romania sank to an all time low. by gmr83 ift.tt/1HtxXfh
