Scinteia Tineretului 18 decembrie 1989: “Semnificatia unor sfaturi pentru cei aflati la mare in luna decembrie (?),” Cuvintul Liber (Deva), 7 ianuarie 1990, p. 4.

Even in the local press, in the immediate aftermath of the counterrevolutionary violence of December 1989, some attention was devoted to this now infamous article from Scinteia Tineretului, 18 decembrie 1989:  “Citeva sfaturi pentru cei aflati in aceste zile la mare.”  Military officers have recounted how during the events of December and in the immediate aftermath they attempted to de-code what is rather clearly a coded message.  Although this is not the best decoding I have seen, it is not bad, and the truth is that we will never know for certain until those from the former Securitate who were familiar with it give us a word-by-word decoding or at least the key for decoding it.  Still this appears a decent attempt not long after the Revolution.

For a discussion of attempts by military officers through the years to decipher the message, I encourage readers to check out the following post:
