They're never exposed to any information at all that isn't pure propaganda. Stranger Things had a main character imprisoned in a gulag where they were feeding prisoners to extradimensional monsters. A gulag. In the late 80s. Black Widow did, too. Like straight up, no complexity breaking a guy out of a soviet gulag in like 2016 or something. A couple of Call of Duty games featured... escapes from Gulags. Those are the only depictions of life in Soviet Russia I can think of it media off the top of my head. I'm sure there are far more that I just don't know about.

Clearly the mind numbing propaganda works too because I had someone literally cite Stranger Things as proof there were gulags in the late Soviet Union :agony-minion:

Didn't you know 99% of Russia is just gulags?

There was that one Comrade Detective show as well, set in Soviet Romania; but yeah, there's not much out there.
