Good point. There’s strong evidence for that in recorded testimonials from cities across the USSR before its demise. When residents were asked about their living arrangements, work conditions and general satisfaction with life, they all had the same thing to say: “Can’t complain”.

Not everywhere, throughout most of the USSR things were pretty good for the average person.
