Saturday's report (17 photos)

In the south-west of Moscow demolish "Khrushchev" early sixties. Time five-storey buildings with no balconies, with tiny kitchens, bathrooms with toilets, cabanas, and thin walls between apartments, allows you to hear everything that is happening at the neighbors, has expired. Entire blocks of five-story building were left without their former masters face to face with a powerful technique, methodically destroying the house behind the house. When excavators and bulldozers in the place where people lived more recently, there is only flat empty space. In this five-storey building were born and raised my peers, they gave birth to their children here, and they had to give birth to their grandchildren. Several generations took place in homes, hruschobah. With their help, Muscovites pulled out of the factory barracks and the horrible Soviet communal, they help young families to acquire their first home, and old people peace and hot water in their own, albeit small bathroom. In short, thank you, five-story building.

It turned out ever again something more concise from the ruler and drawing pen Soviet architects?

Balcony in a house - architectural extravagances.

In this house, going for demolition, there were only a few people live. Settling these five-story building - the whole epic. Over the years lived here, people had time to acquire numerous relatives - near and far, all monstrously intertwined, each family has its own history of relationships and the number of new apartments, free allocated by the city authorities, is not infinite. Commission considering the case "settlers" are constantly faced with problems - one does not like new housing, others are trying to get a bigger apartment, trying to part with their children, grandparents, ex-wives and husbands, which share a common living space.

Andrew - the last inhabitant of this five-story building. A year is suing the local government. The situation, he said, the breath-taking - the last five years, he lives in a small two-room apartment with his ex-wife, her husband and five dogs. When he asked for the resettlement of at least two rooms in a communal, but in different places. The Commission has proposed resettlement for former spouses one-bedroom apartment in a new building. City Court upheld the Commission's decision in force. The house has been turned off the gas, while there is light and water. What to do next - is unknown.

Andrew said that in their home problems of resettlement options were almost all. On the one hand, it is clear that people want in one fell swoop to solve the most difficult - the housing problem, on the other - the state actually gives a new living space worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Battles are a life-and-death.
