Abstract

OLGA TROUCHTCHENKO BENEFICIARIES FROM RENOVATIONS IN THE HISTORICAL CENTER OF MOSCOW At the beginning of the 1920s, the Soviet State expropriated many buildings in the historical center of Moscow and used them to accomodate, in "collective apartments", many working class families. During the seventies, the bad housing conditions and the physical decay of the buildings lead to a policy of renovation, which sent many former residents to the periphery of Moscow. A survey of the Sretenka street area shows the resulting change in the social structure. Among the new residents, the share of working class households has declined, that of professionals has increased, the strongest increase being that of State and Party officials, the privileged categories of the system.
