Pisos comunales en Rusia 🇷🇺

Communal apartments, or kommunalkas, appeared in the Soviet Union after the 1917 revolution. They were seen as a product of the "new collective vision of the future" and as a good solution to the housing crisis in urban areas of the USSR. Let's look at how life was organized in communal apartments and why some people still live in them in the 21st century. The housing problem, of course, corrupted the Soviet people. It was a major problem throughout the 20th century. The Bolsheviks attempted to drastically reduce its severity, leading to the emergence of a strange form of everyday life: the communal apartment, or "kommunalka." A unique product of socialism, where behind one door, through the will of fate and officials, unrelated people of different professions, nationalities, walks of life, social backgrounds, and material wealth lived together. A perfect melting pot in which Soviet society was formed. What were the rules of social life in a communal apartment? How many families could fit in one apartment? How were common areas shared? How did neighbors help or fight each other? Today I'm visiting St. Petersburg to try to answer these questions. ══════════════════════════════════════════════ Support the channel with a subscription on Patreon or a donation on pesos: https://paypal.me/ArielLlera?country....   / arielosky   ═══════════════════════════════════════════ FOLLOW ME ON: Facebook...........   / unchilenoenrusia   Instagram...........   / arielosky_
