Проек как выглядили квартиры 50 лет назад

It's now the so-called Khrushchevs who are khut and threatening to level. And 50 years ago, these squat houses saved the country from a powerful housing crisis. And from an aesthetic point of view, the new five-story buildings were disproportionately more attractive than the depressing barracks in which millions of people lived. Here, admire the Moscow Khrushchevs (no matter how seditious this verb sounds now) and the courtyards surrounding them.

The mass introduction of public housing began with the coming to power of Comrade Khrushchev. In 1954, he instructed to accelerate the housing crisis with the help of simple and cheap prefabricated houses combined into neighbourhoods, reports. Khrushchevka seemed to be the ideal of urban housing: individual apartments with their own bathroom and central heating were a huge step forward compared to pre-war barracks and multi-room communal services.

The houses were built according to standard designs and were devoid of any architectural excesses. The apartments were designed with such a expectation that there would be only one family living in them. Approximately 8 square metres were allocated for each tenant. The same room was used for work and lunch during the day and for sleep at night.
