  • I know this, I used to live in a Stalin era house in Moscow. But Stalin’s Russia had a big problem with housing, only Khrucshev fixed it. All of these things may come as a shocker to an American, but they’re quite common in Europe. And it wasn’t that easy to get a house, you had to wait in line for half your life and the system didn’t work with a bit of corruption, like centralized systems always do. Comparing the USSR to western countries is especially bad, because western countries had no regard towards workers, and if we look at the same timeframe we could say they advanced their housing capabilities equally.
