What does that change anything?

Nothing has changed, and will never change. To be exact, never and nowhere. The fact that this state of affairs is not unique either for Russia or for that time, nor for the present. The problem of relations between creative personality and authority existed always and everywhere. This was written many books based on real facts.
The artist is difficult, always and everywhere where there is dictatorship and injustice, and they are everywhere where there is power. And power is everywhere, where there are people. Power has various manifestations: these Mafiosi in Italy, and a corrupt cop in Russia, and the oil tycoon in the United States, and the King of France 14 - th century. If you represent Russia in a kind of island of evil and injustice, it is to sin against the truth.
It is also fair to say that power has always been some kind of a reactionary force. The history is full of examples where it was and protector, and patron of worthy artists. All much more complicated and much simpler time. I think that this problem is much more productive, could be seen as part of interpersonal relationships, rather than in political contexts. Although they, of course, there is but we know that politics is always rests in someone else's personal interests.
And of course, such a character as you like power painter, too, is eternal. And not always a mediocrity or moral monsters. "The devil is always hidden in the details" (folklore).
