Transcript	Part One HOW THE SOVIET WORKER LIVES Lodging Different Kinds of Homes Since the revolution dispossessed the proprietors, the tenants formed cooperatives, with house committees to take charge of the upkeep of the houses and the apportionment of the rooms. The house committee still exists, but only in name. It has changed its character completely. It has become an executive wheel of the local centralized organism of the State. It now has at its head a communist "responsible", who is the absolute master of the distribution and the regulation of the house. There are several other systems of house control. There is, for example, the so-called "common house". Like "house committee" and "house cooperative" the name is suggestive of the revolutionary period. The following is the origin of the common house. At the time of the revolution, the workers seized, together with the factories, all the buildings dependent on them; the owners' houses, the houses of the managers, as well as the houses in the adjoining "worker town." All these buildings became the "common houses" of the workers in the factory. At present, the common houses are not under the direct and exclusive control of the workers. They are controlled and regulated by the factory management, which has a special "housing" bureau to take charge of them. When the worker leaves the factory, he loses at the same time his domicile. In the category of "common house" belong most of the newly built houses. These are constructed on the model of the "worker town" and are reserved to the privileged employees of the industrial enterprises: the "responsibles", specialists, oudarniks and stakhanovists. Another kind of habitation, which is quite general today, is the large, wooden barracks, similar to the war-time Adrian huts. They are composed of single rooms, each holding 25 to 40 beds for unmarried workers, but sometimes also for whole families. To begin with, only workers employed in construction and in public works were lodged in these barracks. But with industrialization, the formidable development of new factories multiplied the number of such domiciles. Now they are the principal mode of housing in some cities. In the Ural and in Siberia, these barracks form towns of 100,000 and more. They are the principal feature of the landscape around the "industrial giants" and the other grandiose achievements extolled by the Soviet agencies. In the environs of the large cities, there are found also small individual houses, usually referred to as "dacha". They are costly, 11
