Context: Back in the late 1950s, Nikita Khrushchev faced a massive housing crisis. His solution was simple, the “Khrushchyovka” — mass-produced, low-cost, concrete apartment blocks. The state designed them for uniformity, but inside those tiny, identical six-metre kitchens, families created vibrant, subversive, and deeply individual lives. They were meant to be temporary fixes (generally built to last 25 years), but millions of people still live in them today.
