Good Resources on life in the USSR?

Someone curious asked:

Do you know of any resources where I can hear the options of average Soviet citizens during the time of the USSR?

I linked Dessaline's GitHub page: https://dessalines.github.io/....

And I suggested Parenti, Blackshirts and Reds but I don't think it quite fits the description.

Can anyone think of other resources, maybe a peoples' history kind of thing?

Documentary, "The Human Face of Russia" (1984) depicts society and everyday life in 1980s USSR. Produced by Film Australia.

Covers many aspects of society while filming people in their everyday lives and giving details about prices of things, wages, shows housing, labor, how things are produced, collective farms, healthcare, cultural things, etc.

Lady Izdihar has a bunch of books/pamphlets on various aspects of Soviet daily life with some focus on women and religions (specifically Islam), here: https://ladyizdihar.com/...

She also does videos where she talks about these things.
