I’d like to further my understanding about how the Soviet Union was structured from the lowest level in basic union organization to the highest levels of government.

Human Rights in the Soviet Union by Albert Szymanski touches a little bit on political organisation, though its mainly about social and economic rights. Workers' Participation in the Soviet Union by Mick Costello is specifically about workers. Theres also The CPSU in a Soviet Election Campaign, which is a short article on the party participation in elections.

Between 1936 and 1977 is also the period of the "Stalin" constitution, so you can also read it to learn more about the system. I also always recommend Red Plenty by Francis Spufford, even though its historical fiction, because its so good at showing post-war USSR.
