Abstract:
The center of the city usually forms its
image and uniqueness among the other cities
of a country, and possibly among the cities of
the whole world. Every city has its own
landmarks; in Ukraine big part of them are of
Soviet heritage. For example, in Kharkiv there
is the Ordzhonykydzevskij region that was
formed in the years 20-30s of ХХ century. The
most interesting thing is that there are several
central districts between the side-street called
“Peace” and boulevard of Frunze.
The districts started to be built in 1930
as a so-called socialistic small town-satellite
“New Kharkiv”. This socialistic town should
have been a place for workers of recently built
Kharkiv tractor factory to live in. According to
the project all the houses in the districts should
have been connected by transitions, which
were planned to be built from the reinforced
concrete and glass at the level of the second
floor (it was not realized because of lack of
money). Apartments in the “socialistic
paradise” should not have had the specially
equipped kitchens: all the inhabitants of “New
Kharkiv” (planned number of about 50
thousand people) were to be fully served by
establishments of public food consumption -
so called “factory-kitchens”.
