In the post-war years the Soviet Union lived cramped — communal flats, barracks, housing queues. But in the 1950s factories began stamping out panels, and construction went like clockwork. People received their own apartments in the first five-storey buildings. Citizens criticised the tiny kitchens and the combined bathroom — they joked about it, but people's happiness knew no bounds. From shared corridors to one's own apartment, even if a small one. It smelled of fresh paint, swings and sandboxes were installed in the courtyards, schools and polyclinics opened nearby. Gradually, from the same panels, they learned to assemble houses of various shapes, with more convenient layouts. The country of the soviets grew and beautified, and in every new district there was its own life — noisy, young, full of hopes. Fragment from the documentary «Homes for All».
