This book explores the housing problem throughout the 70 years of
Soviet history, looking 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. She examines the use of housing to alter gender
relations, and the ways in which domestic space was differentially
experienced by men and women. Much of Attwood's material comes from
Soviet magazines and journals, which enables her to demonstrate how
official ideas on housing and daily life changed during the course
of the Soviet era, and were propagandized to the population.
Through a series of in-depth interviews, she also draws on the
memories of people with direct experience of Soviet housing and
domestic life. Attwood has produced not just a history of housing,
but a social history of daily life which will appeal both to
scholars and those with a general interest in Soviet history.
