A History of the Soviet Union from the Beginning to the End - Kenez, The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union - McCauley, or your Lewin book may be the least bad options out there.

Very readable and from a Russian historian. Very interesting perspective. Got into the Soviet archives before Putin started restricting access.
His takes on Khrushchev, Brezhnev, and Gorbachev are pretty fresh.
Confirms that Stalin was a paranoid psychopath.

Not the entire USSR, but the Gulag Archipelago is haunting and amazing.
