The last of the Soviets’ Home: Urban demolition in Moscow

Guénola Inizan ^{1, 2} Lydia Coudroy de Lille ¹

Abstract : This paper is dedicated to a program of the demolition of thousands of housing estates built during the Khrushchev period in the Federation of Russia. Although this process has been undertaken since the beginning of the twenty-first century, it has seen a significant growth in 2017 within the program called Renovation. The paper begins with the historical and geographical context that led to the birth of this layer of the Soviet architecture and presents Renovation as it has been completed in 2018 in Moscow, as well as the reaction of the inhabit-ants of these blocks.
