This book explores the housing problem throughout the seventy years
of Soviet history. It looks at changing political ideology on
appropriate forms of housing under socialism, successive government
policies on housing, and the meaning and experience of 'home' for
Soviet citizens. Ultimately, it examines the use of housing to
alter gender relations, and the ways in which domestic space was
differentially experienced by men and women. The material, taken
from Soviet magazines and journals, demonstrates how official ideas
on housing and daily life changed during the course of the Soviet
era, and how they were propagandised to the population. Through a
series of in-depth interviews, the book also draws on the memories
of people with direct experience of Soviet housing and domestic
life. More than a history of housing, the book is a social history
of daily life which will appeal both to scholars and those with a
general interest in the Soviet era. -- .
