Creating a museum of a typical five-storey building ("khrushchevka") in Moscow? Pavel Shulgin gives an interview to the TV channel Kultura

The federal TV channel Kultura raised the issue of creating a Museum of standard house-building of 1960s in Moscow on the basis of typical five-story houses popularly called «Khrushchevka» (after Nikita Khrushchev, the former head of the Soviet state, who initiated this social project). Pavel Shulgin, Head of the Centre for Regional Programmes of Social and Cultural Development of the Institute for Social Policy, HSE, gave an interview to the TV channel on this issue.

Indeed, Khrushchev's five-storied buildings should be called an object of cultural heritage in their historical context, as a material monument and a reflection of the most important social and economic breakthrough made in the country in the second half of 1950s. It may be not only an interesting museum project, but also a significant social one. On August 13, 2020, a part of this interview was shown in the news of the  TV channel Kultura.
