This dissertation explores Russian society, private life and material culture within the context of the massive housing construction campaign initiated by Nikita Khrushchev in the 1950s and 1960s. The objectives of this policy were twofold: to resolve the housing crisis in the Soviet Union and to transform daily life by supplanting communal with separate (i.e., one-family) apartment living. This dissertation operates from the premise that housing---denoting the design, construction and decoration of living space, and the ways in which people negotiate within it---is a contested site in which politics, matters of production and consumption, and social concerns intersect. Beyond detailing official aims and the impact on individuals of living conditions in both old and new buildings, it is argued that mutual preoccupation with housing constituted a terrain upon which state and populace endeavored to define and construct a "normal" socialist society after Stalinist terror and world war.

520 $a This dissertation explores Russian society, private life and material culture within the context of the massive housing construction campaign initiated by Nikita Khrushchev in the 1950s and 1960s. The objectives of this policy were twofold: to resolve the housing crisis in the Soviet Union and to transform daily life by supplanting communal with separate (i.e., one-family) apartment living. This dissertation operates from the premise that housing---denoting the design, construction and decoration of living space, and the ways in which people negotiate within it---is a contested site in which politics, matters of production and consumption, and social concerns intersect. Beyond detailing official aims and the impact on individuals of living conditions in both old and new buildings, it is argued that mutual preoccupation with housing constituted a terrain upon which state and populace endeavored to define and construct a "normal" socialist society after Stalinist terror and world war.
520 $a In official discourse, as this dissertation demonstrates, each housewarming was presented as evidence of the efficacy of the state and of socialist progress. Moreover, in the context of the Cold War, furnishing and decoration were deemed moral as well as aesthetic concerns, with the home designated as a site for nurturing communist values. Praise for initiatives outside the domestic interior (e.g. for creating green spaces in courtyards) also indicates that the regime sought not simply to provide the material basis of Communism, but to make of neighbors model citizens.
520 $a Popular participation in such activities, it is asserted, suggests a shared sense of responsibility for the general good. At the same time, it is recognized that there were also individuals who subverted official visions for communist living. Furthermore, those yet to obtain separate apartments ascribed very personal meanings to home---some at odds with official rhetoric---in the demands they made for better housing.
520 $a This dissertation draws upon unpublished archival documents, newspapers and magazines, propaganda brochures and official handbooks, fiction, and memoirs. Many of the sources relate specifically to the city of Leningrad to provide a distinct local perspective.
