Как жили в хрущевках на самом деле?

How did an ordinary five-story apartment block do more for the Soviet people than all the parades and party congresses? In this episode of the History Show, we'll explore the phenomenon of the Khrushchev-era apartment buildings: from French blueprints to the "kitchen debates" between Khrushchev and Nixon. Find out why the bathroom had a window into the kitchen, why people actually hung rugs on the walls, and how microscopic kitchens measuring 5 square meters became the cradle of free thought and samizdat. We'll explore the journey from communal wars and barracks to the euphoria of receiving your own apartment permit. Why has this "temporary" housing been standing for 70 years, and will it survive the era of renovation? Watch to the end to understand how prefabricated apartments reshaped our DNA.
