Abstract

The author examines the history of housing policy
in Bashkir ASSR within the period of 1953-1964. The main
attention is given to the organizational activities aimed at solving
the problem of the lack of dwelling mainly by erecting multifamily
panel houses. The author stresses the effectiveness
of the policy aimed at ensuring the greatest possible number
of people in Bashkir Republic with individual dwelling. The
policy was performed through the activities of two types of
construction companies: construction thrusts, which specialized
in multi-storey housing, the bases of their functioning being
state order; and cooperative housing organizations, which
specialized in low-rise construction. The author considers the
main peculiarity of the given period to be the implementing of
a large-scale construction of individual dwelling in the republic.
It is stated that it was in line with the general tendency of
