I think there's a very big difference between Brutalist architecture as practiced by the architects in that movement and soviet architecture whose main objective was to be cheap and fast to build (and maybe sprinkle in some propaganda).

There is an old soviet movie whose intro sums up how the brutalist architecture was adapted by the regime - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9W0GCvPz4E
