Sorry, but I don't think there was much financial stability in the USSR, just a succession of five-year plans that produced military hardware and a space race, but little for Russian citizens. Much effort was expended in hiding this reality from them.

In a new book, Nina Krushcheva, great-granddaughter of Nikita Krushchev, has an interesting take on the Russian psyche.
