This study describes how Stalinist forces within the Soviet architectural community destroyed an avant-garde movement which attempted to create a more humane environment. It explores the movement's efforts to build new forms of housing designed to free residents from drudgery.
Analyzing totalitarianism in a crucial area of Soviet culture, Hugh Hudson shows how Stalinist forces within the architectural community destroyed an avant-garde movement of urban planners and architects, who attempted to create a more humane environment for the Soviet people. Through a study of the ideas and constructions of these visionary reformers, Hudson explores their efforts to build new forms of housing and "settlements" designed to free the residents, especially women, from drudgery. Using formerly secret Party archives made available by perestroika, Hudson finds in the rediscovered work of the avant-garde architects a new understanding of their aims. He shows, for instance, how they saw the necessity of bringing elite desires for a transformed world into harmony with the people's wish to preserve national culture.
