Well, I don't want to lecture you about your country's history, so please don't take it the wrong way - but IIRC, the Ceaușescu regime was showing signs of fatigue in 1989 - and during that year, the wind of change was blowing pretty strong in CEE Europe.
I would claim that current Russia isn't comparable, I don't see signs that the regime is severely weakened and the security apparatus would stay neutral.

So he needs money for the oligarchs(or needs to eliminate them, could be a popular move), money for propaganda, money for the army (to keep them loyal), it will be expensive.
