As Khrushchev built (23 photos)
In 1963, the American magazine LIFE (now bankrupt) published a photo essay about the mass construction of housing in Moscow - the capital of the Soviet Union.
Photographer Stan Weyman (Stan Wayman) at that time was in the Soviet Union and meticulously captures the entire process: from the stage design to the new home in the apartments, received by workers from the state for free.
US citizens 1960 was something to wonder, looking at these pictures from the Soviet Union, but they would be surprised even more if they knew that after 45 years, these modest apartment will truly "golden": Now the price of such "Khrushchev" in Moscow often exceeds the value American home somewhere in the Midwest (one of the consequences of the collapse of the Soviet Union, by the way).
