According to official Soviet statistics, in 1950-1960 years in the USSR built 1205.2 million square meters of housing: during this period in the country formed a new territorial and social organism. N. Lebina's book is devoted to the houses built in these years - the famous "Khrushchevkas", which still exist today. Considering this housing as a special cultural and domestic space of the Thaw era, the author studies the external appearance of these buildings, the forms of their internal structure, the subject saturation of the new living space and shows how the life of a Soviet person changed in the context of global trends of modernization of everyday life. In this context, Khrushchevka appears as a unique Thaw phenomenon that mixes the ridiculous with the creative, the ridiculous with the optimistic, and the "Soviet" with the "non-Soviet".
