Each city had them but as guy above said, they were for the party members and you had to be decently well ranked to get a stalin style apartment. they were deff luxury.
They were better, but what do youmean by “Stalin luxury”? Again, I not speaking of several unique buildings in Moscow, SPb, etc. I’m speaking of thousands buildings in many many cities, buildings of a period.
Let’s take my family or people I know as an example:
the only person remotely “high ranked” was my grandfather, an engineer of a shipbuilding bureau. He and my father’s family got a four-room apartment in one of those 1000s of buildings. Same as many other engineers, he wasn’t super high ranked.
at the same time, my grandma’s sister got a same-type apartment, before my grandma even knew my grandpa. Guess what profession she was? A nurse! Does that sound like Stalin-level?
My classmate was one of four kids, so they got apartment in stalinka as a part of a social quota for families like that.
What do you say, is my family special? We don’t have wikipedia pages, and we weren’t anything special in financial terms.
Are you even from USSR/Russia, or you just read about it?
