Given that the revolution was in 1917, and how much the working class urbanized following the revolution, I'd have a hard time believing that pre-revolution housing stock was sufficient beyond the first decade. Surely much built-to-suit communal housing must have been made in the 60+ years of communist rule.

And there was another, more traditional, form of communal housing - dormitories - usually associated with specific factories/organizations and which especially took off during industrialization. With time the dormitories became the dominant form of housing pressure resolution. While intended to be temporary some people/families had to live there for years.
