Construction of the Soviet Khrushchev

American LIFE magazine published a photo essay on mass housing in Moscow - the capital of the Soviet Union in 1963.
The whole process of construction: from design to settlement, captured American photographer Stan Weyman (Stan Wayman).
Americans of the 1960s was something to wonder, looking at the Soviet Khrushchev, but they would be even more surprised if they knew the price of these lodges today.
In Moscow, Khrushchev price exceeds the value of the US home somewhere in the Midwest.
