I think suffering is relative: has there been a time in recent history of Russia that wasn't associated with some degree of struggle for the average inhabitant? And there also wasn't ever a timeframe long enough where any form of healthy opposition could be institutionalized to endure over longer durations.

Also I'd say that by Western standards even the pre-war living conditions of many Russians would qualify as poor. So their scale is vastly different to ours.
