The Soviet Union will come out on top in the world in the number of housing under construction. In search of a better life immigrants from Central Russia travel to Siberia with their entire families. If suitcases, then out of town. If a village, the entire belongings fit into bales, boxes, bags. In the villages there were no suitcases. They were replaced by heavy and strong trunks, which from generation to generation handed down. Their ostavalyali home.
