Soyuz looks surprisingly small compared to the Saturn V though that might be childhood memories playing tricks.

Not a trick of the memory at all. You can see the size differential in this display of my rocket collection -





My model of the R7 depicts it carrying a Vostok spacecraft. With a Soyuz fitted it is a bit taller - but you can see the overall comparison.

Saturn really was a beast!
Amazing it even got off the ground.
