I wonder if you could get Andre Codrescu to talk about it. He's a writer and does some experimental and surrealist writing, but he used to be a contributor on NPR and has written a lot about Ceausecu.

It wouldn't be exactly historically pertinent, but he could tell you about opposition and arts there. He had a podcast called Walls and Curtains that was kind of on that topic.
