Which things? Because all historical sources show that the bottom 10% had all the bare necessities for life. They didn't have luxury apartments, but they had a roof. They weren't eating steak every night, but they had more caloric input and healthier diets than US citizens.

    I’m trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, so I’ll edit this comment if I find more relevant information, but so far I’ve only found one paragraph related to food inequality, and it seems to disagree with you:

    the figures shown represent average nutrient levels on a per capita per day basis for the USSR as a whole. They do not indicate the differences that exist in the diets of different population groups, which preliminary research indicates are substantial.
