I did, so it probably depends of where you live.

I remember books (there was a famous soviet science publisher, which I believe we learned later had gulag deportees working on their printing presses) and I seem to recall toys and some foods.

My memory from the period is far from perfect, though, as I was a kid when the USSR collapsed.
