I did a Google search of the image (I know,I should have recognized them, but I didn't). Wow did I come up with some interesting bits of information. The consensus seems to be that Ceauşescu was ill served by the sycophants that surrounded him. All painted a rosy picture of a country that was in desperate straits.

Makes me think of Trump's televised Cabinet meetings, with all the kudos and ata-boys directed at him.
