Interior Design and Furniture in the USSR


Accept!
As previously stated, the majority of people in the USSR lived in the apartments. Unfortunately, due to the the time constraints, they had to be built in a precipitate rather than comfortable manner.

The quality of living there was truly horrendous. So when Khruschev started his structure binge in 1960s, a joke went that the legacy of those communal flats was agoraphobia – the distress of open spaces and the tendency to hoard things.
