I think USSR manufacturing standards of quality were just as dubious (good and bad) during the Soviet era as they are or may be now. Sure, people were assassinated or sent to Siberia seemingly at random, but not over the issue of blown capacitors. I have many Russian ex-pat scientist friends who are old enough to corroborate this idea. The difference between Soviet and post-Gorbachev Russian goods, if one perceives that quality went down, may be attributable to the decaying economic conditions and of funds to support their military in Russia that led to the dissolution of their empire in the first place. And actually, they are making some good stuff these days. (By the way, one can still be assassinated or sent to prison seemingly at random.)
Follow Ups:
Actually Lew my comment was somewhat tongue in cheek, and your reasoning sound. I Do believe there was a downturn in Soviet era tube quality during the Gorby years due to other factors as well. Since this is a cap thread and I don't want to hijack it, I'll save that for another post.

are a case in point. I think that the ones made in the Ulyanov (sp?) factory up to the early 90s are superior, at least more reliable, than ones made since.
