Housing policy in the Khabarovsk territory (1939 – 1945)

Abstract

Housing policy in the Khabarovsk territory during the period since 1939-1945 is shown in this article on the basis of archival materials. Social and economic development of the Far-Eastern region in the pre-military years was followed by significant increase in the population, experiencing difficulties in the domestic sphere. In the days of the Great Patriotic War when the rates of housing construction were sharply reduced, and the material and human resources were redistributed in the interests of war industry, housing problems of the population were solved only in the cases of an urgent need.
