What was the effect on Russia after the space race?

In terms of national morale, no doubt it was discouraging to Russia and to Russians that it was the US which was the first to the moon, rather than their own supposedly more advanced communist utopia. However, Russia had much more serious problems to worry about, such as the failed war in Afghanistan, the faltering Russian economy, etc., and I doubt that the space race in the end had much of a role in the collapse of the USSR.
