The garden city is a romanticized picture of the Western way of life in suburban settlements with picturesque streets and rows of cottages immersed in greenery with well-groomed facades, next to fields and water meadows. Against the background of Soviet reality - the barracks or two-story wooden half-rotten buildings of the 1930s, the Khrushchev monotonous industrial panel five-story buildings from the 1950s to the 1960s ? this image, which was almost forbidden in the Soviet period, awoke fantasy and spawned dreams. Why in the USSR with the beginning of industrialization, the previously popular idea of the garden city was officially rejected? Why did the doctrine of the Soviet workers' settlement, which came to take its place, practically turned into a kind of hut-communal apartments for 85% of the population, exactly the same communal apartments in two-storey wooden houses for 10-12% of middle-level managers working in town-forming enterprises, tiny detached cottage settlements, protected by the NKVD, for a narrow circle of the party-Soviet elite? The reader will find answers to these and many other questions in this book.

Why was the Soviet town-planning policy, instead of providing the comfort of the everyday life of the builders of communism, used as a means of compact resettlement of labor collectives? Did housing turn into a tool for managing people ? a lever for establishing a repressive social and political order? The reader will find answers to these and many other questions in this book.
