Not quite. Source: my father was born in 1959 and lived in a communal until his teenage years at least.

That said, USSR did invest a lot of time and effort in the housing issue. But as with many other things, war has intervened.

Sure, it took some time to rebuild everything that was destroyed, but they just kept building housing until everyone had it. Pretty surreal that such basic things are still not possible to do in some of the richest countries in the world.
