Throughout history, numerous individuals and groups have faced silencing by authoritarian regimes.

I know firsthand what it means to be silenced by your government, and still be courageous.

My name is Virginia Prodan.

I lived under a brutal socialist regime in #Romania.

Growing up there courage wasn’t a choice—it was a necessity. I faced threats, danger, and even an assassin sent to silence me.

As a young attorney in Romania under Nicolae Ceausescu's brutal communist regime, I had spent her entire life searching for the truth. When I finally found it in the pages of the most forbidden book in all of Romania, I accepted the divine call to defend fellow followers of Christ against unjust persecution in an otherwise ungodly land.

My legal work was declared by the communist government as an act of treason.

For this act of treason, I was kidnapped, beaten, tortured, placed under house arrest, and came within seconds of being executed under the orders of Ceausescu himself.

But I discovered something priceless in that fire: a life built on Christ is unshakable.

Nicolae Ceaușescu, the General Secretary of the Romanian Communist Party from 1965 until his overthrow and execution in 1989, employed a wide range of manipulative tactics to silence dissent and maintain control over the Romanian populace.
