PROBLEMS OF URBAN ENVIRONMENT FORMATION AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE POPULATION IN THE 1920S (BY THE EXAMPLE OF IZHEVSK)
Abstract
Based on the archival documents (clerical, reference statistical materials), published sources and periodical press the author considers the social infrastructure, which determined the level and life quality of population of Izhevsk, one of the typical Ural cities, formed near the factories in the 1920s. Th article presents the characteristics of its housing and communal services, transport communications, provision of urban amenities, gives the assessment of food and medical service of citizens. It concludes that the social environment of Izhevsk, that has long retained the features of the borderline one between urban and rural civilizations, lagged behind the population growth rates and did not meet its needs. The measures taken to overcome the housing crisis and to modernize the socio-cultural environment gave tangible results only in the subsequent period.
