Old talk

SOMEONE WRITE A REAL ARTICLE ABOUT THIS IT IS IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW HOW MUCH MORE HORRIBLE THESE RESIDENCES ARE THAN NORMAL TENAMENTS—Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.12.116.7 (talk • contribs)

What sources do you suggest, preferrably in English and if necessary in Russian? Andries 17:47, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong page title

"Communal" begins with C in English! 86.131.101.145 (talk) 22:11, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

wikification

There was a tag to wikify this page, so I've added wikilinks, and made the article more consistent. For example on two separate occasions it mentions the 'Bolshevik revolution of 1927' and then the 'October revolution of 1917'. Seeing as they're the same thing it would be simpler to stick with one term or the other. It also refers to the Soviet Union and the USSR interchangeably. Plus, this article needs pictures. There's one on Flickr which is creative commons licensed. Extua (talk) 19:36, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Consequences

It is important that consequences are discussed. What happened when a family refused to cooperate with the other tenants? They had schedules for bathroom and kitchen use, what if a person/family used facilities longer than allowed? Could families decide to pack and go?

If the tenants in a communal apartment refused to cooperate, then there would be a tenant war. Tenants would keep doing mean things to each other and life would be miserable. Families could not just decide to pack and go, because where would they go to? You would have to find someone else who is willing to exchange their living space with you, and then submit an application to ZhEK to register them into your unit, and to register yourself into theirs. Then you could move somewhere else. Since finding a straight swap was unlikely, enterprising people would build up "chains" of families who would all move into each other's respective living space. Every family would get something that they want out of this sequential swap, except usually for one or two who get the raw end of the deal. Those would be elderly or disadvantaged people who would just get sweet talked into the swap by the others. Selerian (talk) 02:24, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rename in "Kommunalka"

I think the article should be called "Kommunalka" as it specifically talks about an issue of the Soviet Union and not of the "Communal apartment" (Co-living) genres around the world. Mhorg (talk) 20:40, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Popularity statistics

In the article there are the testimonies of individuals who have had a negative experience, but there are also nostalgic phenomena.[1] It would be interesting to include in the article statistics on the popularity of the Kommunalka at the time and even today. I cannot find any. Someone could help me? Mhorg (talk) 11:04, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
