Do not forget Soviet economy was controlled one. Thus no battles for premiums and awards were possible as not compliant with Five Years Armament Plans and prosecuted by KGB/NKVD. In fact under Stalin many talented Soviet constuctors like Tupolev created their projects doing bird. So he wasn't in position to wage battles with NKVD for awards maybe except a little better slop. :p
No confidence tricks around Supreme Soviet or Politburo made by various arms concerns like those around US Congress, buddy!
What really occurred was derailing one design bureau's project by another. For example Tupolev and Raduga DBs lobby monopolized air-launched anti-ship missiles development and finally AS-4 missile remained the sole vital ALCM for 30 years.
