One of this man's acts was to reverse a 1953 law that allowed abortion, and he also demolished the old legislature to replace it with the People's House as part of his "systematization" program. He established a list of banned books after reading books on Kim Il Sung's Juche idea; this was part of the fallout from a speech given in front of the executive committee that advocated a quasi-Maoist version of socialist realism, commonly called the July Theses.  He originally came to power after the death of Gheorgiu-Dej, and is also notable for staying out of the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia. Nicknamed "Genius of the Carpathians", he was killed alongside his wife Elena on December 25, 1989 after a show trial.  For 10 points, name this final communist dictator of Romania.
