One thing I like about The Death of Stalin is that is shows that the folks at the highest pinnacle of power in the Communist party like Khrushchev and Molotov lived in modest apartments in Moscow. And that was just as true of the premiers, too, up to and include Gorbachev.
One of my history professors loved to mention every time the Soviet Union was brought up that the party leaders (in like the 80s) had Black Sea dachas, as if that was some disgustingly extravagant display of wealth that is even remotely comparable to our politicians in the US.
