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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e 1 New \u003ci\u003ebyt\u003c\/i\u003e, new woman, new forms of housing\u003cbr\u003e 2 The new economic policy \u003cbr\u003e 3 Housing cooperatives\u003cbr\u003e 4 Communes, hostels and barracks\u003cbr\u003e 5 The 'Second Socialist Offensive' \u003cbr\u003e 6 The retreat from new \u003ci\u003ebyt\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e 7 Communal living by default\u003cbr\u003e 8 The Great Patriotic War and its aftermath\u003cbr\u003e 9 The Khrushchev era: 'To every family its own apartment'\u003cbr\u003e 10 The Brezhnev year.\u003cbr\u003e 11 The Gorbachev era: The end of a Socialist housing policy\u003cbr\u003e 12 Personal tales\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040990724439,"sku":"9781526122865","price":24.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526122865.jpg?v=1750948512","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/gender-and-housing-in-soviet-russia-private-life-in-a-public-space-9781526122865","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
