Worth bearing in mind the very spartan Soviet blocks were incredible luxury compared to the homes people moved out of. For all of the torture, disappearing, political killing, forced labor, etc. that happened under Stalin, he at least got housing pretty well sorted for the people

No, stalinkas were time consuming and expensive in construction. Real mass housing started during Khruschev and lasted until the end of USSR.
