The “people’s construction” method was born at the Automobile Plant. Shore of Darkness

Staroe Knyazevo is an ordinary village in the Tver region. 200 kilometers from Moscow - no post office, no local administration, no first-aid post, no club. 15 people stay for the winter, buses don’t run, the regional center Mednoye is 20 kilometers away. But there is...

Staroe Knyazevo is an ordinary village in the Tver region. 200 kilometers from Moscow - no post office, no local administration, no first-aid post, no club.

15 people stay for the winter, there are no buses, the regional center of Mednoye is 20 kilometers away.
But there is a house in Old Knyazev that changed local life - the Sergei Lemeshev Museum. Here he grew up, fishing in the Tma River. Now his fishing rods are kept in the museum.

Actually, it was not the house that changed the life of the village. And the people who entered the house.

The museum was opened in 1991 as a public one. In 1992 it became state-owned. And to a museum, even if it is small, wooden and has a leaking roof, there is still a road. So they took her to Staroe Knyazevo.

And summer residents from the capital flocked to the tenor’s homeland and built elegant houses.

The neighboring village of Struzhnya, across the field from Knyazev, was less fortunate: Lemeshev did not live here, but only came to the river. They didn’t make it to Struzhna.

And that’s why it’s a different century in Struzna. The wind howls under the dome of the destroyed church. And about what was once here cultural life, resembles the ashes of a library that burned down last year.

The field between Struzhnya and Stary Knyazev is like a time machine. On the one hand, there is a completely modern Moscow region, on the other, a village forgotten by God, where milkmaids on a collective farm receive 500 - 600 rubles a month.

The road and gas will be built faster for the Great Shadow than for a living village. The ghosts remained something of a genius loci. And the “museum workers” are something like a volost zemstvo.

Zurab Sotkilava, Vladimir Zeldin, soloists came to Knyazevo for the 100th anniversary of Lemeshev Bolshoi Theater and Mariinsky Theater. Several thousand people gathered for the last Lemeshevsky holiday.

On ordinary days, summer residents organize concerts at the Lemeshevsky Museum. Irina Tselina, a piano teacher from Moscow, comes from Struzhnya to play the piano. And in winter, the director of the Lemeshevsky Museum and his only guide Larisa Pashchenko travels around music schools and talks about Lemeshev and the museum.

The singer has been dead for 30 years, but the “sharemen” are still coming to him. They created the museum.

Organized by the singer’s widow Vera Nikolaevna Kudryavtseva and musician Viktor Dmitrievich Vasilyev, the museum was built with money from fans. In addition to posters, photographs and memorial exhibits, their satin stitch embroideries and poems addressed to Lemeshev are kept here.

“Lemeshisti” played an important role in the life of Larisa Pashchenko.

Larisa and her future husband Sergei Abovyan worked as builders in Moscow.

Sergei liked Lemeshev - from childhood, when he was still broadcast on the radio. Sergei grew up, became a photographer, then volunteered for the war in Karabakh, and was a photojournalist there. When I returned, I began to study repair work. Then I met Larisa.

One day Sergei showed her the film “ Musical history", and Larisa fell in love with Lemeshev. It was in 2002 that his 100th anniversary was celebrated.

On Lemeshev’s birthday, Larisa and Sergei went to the singer’s grave, where they met his fans and his widow. There we also learned how to get to Stary Knyazev and went to the Lemeshevsky holiday.

Larisa liked Knyazevo so much that she wanted to leave Moscow and move there to live.

The museum was then on the verge of closing - almost no one came.

They made up their minds. We've arrived. Forever.

They were given a house where the funds were kept, and they began to live in it.

In the summer, an apple orchard and flower beds were planted near the museum. The Oktyabr animal farm donated six seedling machines for the museum. The chairman of the collective farm brought fertilizers from Struzhnya. Employees of a Tver company came on the excursion - it was on Monday, and on Wednesday they brought a computer. Other good people They gave us wrought iron railings and a canopy over the entrance.
...That’s how the museum grew, using the method of people’s construction, stem by stem, brick by brick.

Larisa began to negotiate with Tver travel agencies. People flocked to the museum.

And everything was very good: this spring Larisa and Sergei had a son - also Sergei, Sergei Sr. began taking photographs again.

But on July 6, the house with the funds burned down. The short circuit happened at night. When Sergei and Larisa woke up, the roof was already cracking. They only managed to take the child out of the house.

And they continue to work in the museum.

We live well,” says Larisa. - Only the house burned down. Problems? Eat. Firstly, the roof of the museum leaks, and this causes damage to memorial items. Secondly, the bark beetle eats the exhibit.

Now Larisa and Sergei are registering ownership of a plot of land in the field behind the museum. Here they will build a house. How they will do this with a salary of 4,000 rubles is unclear. But they will definitely build it.

After all, life has always been difficult for the residents of Knyazev. As a boy, Sergei Lemeshev, for example, did not go to auditions in Tver, but ran to avoid freezing. 50 kilometers in six hours.

And if you remember that the house with three windows, which Sergei Yakovlevich Lemeshev bought in Knyazev for his mother Akulina, was exchanged for a bag of flour and a goat in 1933, then we can safely say: it will not be worse than it was.

Gordin A. Housing issue: [about the method of “people’s construction” at the automobile plant] // Avtozavod Online. – 2011. –June (No. 20). – P. 4

HOUSING PROBLEM

The “people’s construction” method was born at the Automobile Plant.

People are like people... ordinary people... in general, they resemble the old ones... housing problem only ruined them. This Bulgakov phrase from the imperishable work “The Master and Margarita”, which has long become an aphorism, surprisingly accurately conveys the picture of Soviet reality. The famous “housing question,” unnoticeable at first glance, influenced the work of industrial giants, changed the fate of people, their way of life...

BARRACKS AND "SHIELDS".

In 1929, the development of the “city of the future” project for the Automobile Plant began. The Sotsgorod plan, which was repeatedly adjusted, envisaged the construction of comfortable housing and the creation of a developed infrastructure for the area. Numerous difficulties did not allow all the ideas to be brought to life in the 1930s. Next to the permanent buildings of Sotsgorod, temporary barracks settlements grew up (Northern, Eastern, Western, Gavan, etc.), which, together with the “shields”, made up more than half of the housing stock of the area.

Let's, dear reader, take a look into one of the barracks together. The wooden building was elongated. Two entrances to it were located on the sides. There were four rooms in the barracks, and between them there was a kitchen.

From the memoirs of Pavel Vasilyevich Gordin: “In each room, along the walls, with their backs to the wall, there were beds: one for husband and wife, and one bed for two children... It’s hard to say how many families with children lived in each room, but not less than 10-15... The crowding was terrible, but people were happy about it too... Before the Finnish War, in the summer (1939) they carried out a redevelopment. A corridor was made along the entire barracks, and on both sides there were rooms of different sizes. They gave us a room of 7-8 meters for four of us.”

On for a long time barracks have become familiar to many car manufacturers. During the war period and the first years of peaceful life, the pace of housing construction in the area decreased noticeably. This had a direct impact on the work of the car plant. In 1948, its director Grigory Khlamov noted that “insufficient growth of living space is one of the serious obstacles in staffing production with qualified labor force and assigning permanent personnel to the plant.”

By the beginning of the 1950s, a housing crisis was clearly evident at the Automobile Plant. On average, there was 4.6 square meters per person. m of housing. In 1953, 57% of the area's population lived in barracks and "shields". The “temporary housing” built in the 1930s became dilapidated and practically unusable twenty years later, turning people’s lives into daily misery. “We have many barracks that... are only good for firewood. And people live in them, families of ordinary workers, young children,” noted automaker Filippov in 1953. The housing issue required an urgent solution - it was necessary to get people out of the barracks. But where to get the necessary resources? Life itself suggested a solution...

WE BUILD WITH THE WHOLE WORLD

In 1955, on the initiative of the press building workers, instead of renovating several dilapidated barracks, they were demolished and rebuilt with cinder block walls. This is how it arose new method in housing construction in the second half of the 1950s - “people's construction”, which soon spread far beyond the boundaries of the Automobile Plant.

Giproavtoprom has developed a project for the construction of two-story cinder block houses near the village of Parysheva. In September 1956, the executive committee of the City Council allocated a plot of land for new buildings. At the same time, house designs were being finalized. A lot of work conducted by employees of the capital construction department of GAZ - Sadovsky, Suryaninov and others.

On October 17, 1956, the director of the automobile plant, Nikolai Sazanov, signed an order, which noted: “Supporting the initiative of the teams of workshops, buildings, departments for the construction of small apartments with the wide participation of workers, engineers, and employees, to allow the construction of houses by the workshops in the area of ​​​​the village of Parysheva.” The main criteria for the new method were short construction times, low cost and comfort of 2-3-story buildings. It is believed that it was at the Automobile Plant that the “people’s construction” method was born, which first spread to Gorky and then throughout the country.

Each workshop assigned a manager and workers. Future residents helped them. At first, the issues of supplying the workshop with building materials were resolved independently; later this work was transferred to section No. 2 of the plant’s UKS. The production of cinder blocks, beams, lintels, windows and doors was organized in the construction parts shop, woodworking shop, and the Novaya Sosna plant. In 1956, 17 cinder block houses were put into operation. In 1957, a settlement of the 1st stage - 40 Let Oktyabrya, consisting of 65 houses - grew up on the territory of the district. Soon, houses of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th stages were erected next to it in the area of ​​Yanka Kupala Street.

In total, more than 280 houses were built in the area using the “people’s construction” method. It was a breakthrough in the field of housing construction. Thousands of car factory families moved from old barracks to new apartments. Thus, the family of an automobile plant grinder, Ivan Ankudimov, consisted of 8 people and lived in a barracks in the Northern village in a room of 20 square meters. meters, moved into a three-room apartment. The infrastructure in the “people’s construction” settlements developed rapidly. In a short time, 6 kindergartens and nurseries, 4 schools, 5 shops, a bathhouse, and an outpatient clinic were built. Each family acquired a small vegetable garden and its own barn.

In 1960, a decision was made to stop the construction of two- and three-story houses in Gorky. Of course, the “people’s construction” houses were also temporary housing, although the exact period of their operation, as far as the documents allow, was not determined...

“People's Construction” is a special corner of the Avtozavodsky district, with its own way of life and spirit. Turn from the main street into a courtyard surrounded by greenery in summer, and you will immediately feel the leisurely passage of time... As if you are not in a noisy city, but find yourself somewhere far away, in a quiet village. Here you can still see how men “knock” on dominoes on a spring evening, hear the sounds of a button accordion and booming songs at a family holiday... Time is inexorable, but the “people's line” still retains its unique atmosphere - warmth and kindness.

This article is about how the transition took place from the majestic architecture of Stalin's time to the minimalism of Khrushchev's Thaw.

Standard architecture has become defining for the modern Russian city. At the end of the 1950s there was a sharp turn towards this dubious ascetic style. How did this happen? Revolutionary changes in art do not occur instantly, even if they are dictated by the state.

During the change of course, with the beginning of the “thaw,” even the party did not know what it wanted, and the transition from the excesses of the Empire style to the simplicity of the Khrushchev style lasted about five years: after the abandonment of excesses in 1953, the first standard houses appeared only in 1959. They built whatever they wanted, they experimented, and Gorky set the fashion in this: they say that it was at GAZ that they conducted the first experiment in the construction of mass housing. 1953 IN year, immediately after the death of the Secretary General, the All-Union Plenum stated that standard design would become decisive. A regulation on excesses had not yet appeared, there was no understanding yet of what standard architecture was, but the vector had been set, and the search for a new construction standard for beauty began. The history of these searches is vague and not recorded by observers. It seems that the party, the architect and the factory were looking in

different directions
. The architects wanted to complete what they started under Stalin. Yuri Bubnov, Gorky architect:“Then there was “classicism”. And I must say, we became famous throughout the country. I built a house on the Verkhne-Volzhskaya embankment, I was promoted to

During the change of course, with the beginning of the “thaw,” even the party did not know what it wanted, and the transition from the excesses of the Empire style to the simplicity of the Khrushchev style lasted about five years: after the abandonment of excesses in 1953, the first standard houses appeared only in 1959. They built whatever they wanted, they experimented, and Gorky set the fashion in this: they say that it was at GAZ that they conducted the first experiment in the construction of mass housing. Stalin Prize, they had already sent photographs, and then Khrushchev hit on the excesses... Well, then we began to work like Khrushchev. The chairman of the city executive committee once told me: “Bubnov, let’s go see how people live.” We went to the car factory, there were barracks, one room with six beds and curtains across them." 1954 crucial moment

The architects had designs for several central squares on their desks. The early 50s were the best years of retro style, copying the classic heritage. Everything that was designed in 1952-53 and completed approximately until

A year and a half after the decision to change course was made in November 1954, at the next all-Union plenum the existing views on architecture were subjected to sharp, deafening and final criticism, and it became impossible to realize the plan. Exactly one year later, in November 1955, a decree “On the Elimination of Excesses” was issued.

Vadim Voronkov, Gorky architect, now a professor at NNGASU:
“The first objects I worked on in Gorky were a residential building and the administrative building of the Giproneftezavod on Freedom Square. We designed it in the classics. The object was fully approved, but then a 1955 decree on the fight against excesses followed. Only three years later, Lyubov Borisovna Rozhdestvenskaya designed it the way it was built."
(From the book by A. Gelfond “80 years of Nizhny Novgorod CitizenNIIproekt”)

Two years of doubts and searches for the norm. Following the ideology of total unification, it was necessary to develop a universal house. On January 1, 1955, the first building codes and regulations came into force, a collection of SNiPs on wall structures, room sizes, lighting and ventilation standards, how much land should be allocated per resident and how many garbage cans per person. For the first time and very fully, the rules were formulated fire safety: how to build, not what to extinguish. Those who had the opportunity to develop these norms felt like creators new era, and not at all by creators deprived of their profession.

In the year the legendary decree on excess was adopted, no standard housing was built in Gorky. And in next year Same. And even in the second year there was no mass construction of identical boxes. Nothing happened in architectural life. Porticoes, columns, pilasters and flowerpots were mechanically demolished. As the architect S. A. Novikov noted, “without proper rethinking” - proletarians, alien to architectural discourse, liked to be heroes, to defeat excesses.

In 1955, car manufacturers took the initiative to build housing on their own. A group of press shop workers erected a 24-apartment building during their free hours from materials provided by the company. This is the first urban legend: the workers themselves initiated the construction reform, and this happened in 1955, long before mass public construction.

“Isn’t this a handicraft? Should we trust the labor impulse of our fellow citizens?”

The story also tells about the party initiator, Comrade Ignatov, who proposed the original method in 1957. In Gorky he made a lot of noise, although he served here as the first secretary of the regional committee of the CPSU for only a few years. After the death of the leader, he, a man greedy for glory, was deprived of all ranks and expelled from Moscow, first to Leningrad, then even further, to Gorky. Ignatov hoped to curry favor with Khrushchev. In May 1957, he published an article in the Pravda newspaper in which he suggested that factories build houses by workers, and in early July organized a meeting to disseminate “his” initiative. The directive was accepted and sent throughout the USSR. Immediately, trusts appeared at factories and began to organize workers to build their own housing. The first standard projects are several compact planning solutions for 8-24 apartments, the same in all cities.

They say that public construction in other cities was called the “Gorky method.” They also called it “gorky”, but then they forgot, and “people’s construction” began to mean all plastered houses of 2-3 floors without any signs of style.

Newspapers circulated an example of people's initiative, and for the sake of credibility they even cast a little doubt: “Isn’t this a handicraft? Should we trust the labor impulse of our fellow citizens?” What kind of house was this without an address, I wonder. Contrary to the legends about labor initiative, people's construction was excellent organized event

. By 1957, a separate workshop was built on the territory of the Automobile Plant for the production of special cheap cinder blocks.

Illustration - Newspaper "Gorkovskaya Pravda", 1957 House of sand and deceit Cinder blocks when burned in a thermal power plant and just like clay, cement, sand and various small stones, it is a good building material. One should not think that construction from it is shamefully cheap - this material was first used for the Hermitage garage. In the industrial 50s, recycling was in fashion, the plant organizedly supplied the people with resource-saving materials. Unfortunately, this was not environmentally friendly; some slags contained harmful sulfur impurities, and they did not retain heat well. Newspapers wrote little about how the epic with small houses for workers ended, sluggishly referring to reserves of building materials.

It is believed that public construction ended when the supply of garbage was exhausted, but this is not entirely true.

They stopped making cinder blocks when thermal power plants switched to fuel oil, preferring it to medieval fossil fuels. True, we had to abandon fuel oil, because it turned out to be expensive, but that’s another story. Now cinder blocks are being produced again, but no longer on the scale of ideological choice of material.

Sawdust and gypsum slabs , another invention, were praised for replacing interior decoration.

White and neat, they were thin enough to make the seams invisible, and light enough for a woman builder to do. An inexhaustible supply of sawdust was offered by the Balakhninsky Paper Mill. It could have been mixed with cement, plaster, or harmful formaldehyde, as they came up with later. Reeds - opening of a construction exhibition of the same landmark year 1957. They came up with the idea of ​​mixing reed stems with clay and gypsum in Astrakhan. The wetlands of the Volga delta are the largest in area within a radius of two thousand kilometers (larger only in Tyumen and somewhere far away in Siberia). Tall reeds were tied with wire and secured with mortar. The result was large slabs measuring 1.5 x 2.5 meters, from which the walls were built quickly and easily. We bought cheap material and brought it from Astrakhan. Then they said that “we definitely won’t need that much reed,” they bought it at a cheap price with a surplus and saved. Houses in Vysokovo were built from reed stone, for example, one house was erected in just two weeks, such a simple material - no cranes or equipment are needed, only working hands. They laughed a little at the reeds, remembering the tents (yurts) of the nomadic Nogais, but

natural material more likely to be trusted than not. Nowadays, reed is considered an environmentally friendly material; small houses are built from it, away from urban technologies. Brick panels. To quickly build five-story buildings, the bricks were technically glued together at the factory. Examples can be seen in the area of ​​Gagarin Avenue and Tereshkova Street, but these are more recent experiments.

As you might guess, the area emerged after Soviet space flights in the early 60s. The first houses were erected on the former Arzamas highway in 1959, simultaneously with the last three-story buildings of public construction projects.

Brick panels on Tereshkova Street and a sign about the name of the street. Photo - Irina Maslova, 2016

Until 1960, it was planned to increase brick production, and it was especially noted that brick wall blocks had to be produced 15 times more than in the starting year of 1957. That's approximately 61 billion pieces per year! It was planned to increase the production of slate and even ordinary tiles made of cement and clay. Then plans changed: everyone was captivated by the concrete panels.

In the second part of the article, which will be published within a week, you will find a story about the life of independent builders. According to the directives of the soul and heart, the workers created their own houses until they turned into builders and went to work on the construction of mass 5-story housing. Which is better: a skyscraper in the business center or a chalet on the river bank, a room in a five-story Khrushchev building or

wooden house In the countryside? Modern people tend to improve

living conditions

. However, many nations are happy in their national huts.

Houses with turf roofs

Denmark, Iceland, Norway

Roofs overgrown with green grass are a picturesque feature of Scandinavian villages. However, picturesqueness is not the main thing here: the turf that seals the wooden frame (usually made of birch bark) is an excellent protection from the cold. In Iceland, until the middle of the 20th century, not only roofs, but also walls of houses with a stone foundation were built from turf.

Trulli Italy Unique houses with limestone cone domes in the Apulian town of Alberobello, skillfully built using the dry masonry method, are included in the list

world heritage

Lepa

Fale

Samoa

The population of Samoan villages is not familiar with the concept of " private life" Houses without walls guarantee complete mutual understanding. The palm leaf roofs rest on pillars arranged in a circle and connected by coconut husk ropes. There are family fales for living, large ones for gatherings and small ones for relaxing.

Karaans

Iran

The whimsical streamlined shapes of the rock houses in the village of Kandovan in the north-west of Iran would be the envy of Gaudi, but they were created ordinary people, simply carved into volcanic rock. Each house is in a separate cone-shaped rock. The cones themselves were formed due to frequent eruptions of the Sekhend volcano in ancient times.

Dogon huts

Mali

The ideal Dogon village is built on the principle of the human body. Mud houses vary in purpose and location. The head is a toguna, a house for men's gatherings. In the chest and belly are family houses with pointed roofs. In place of the genitals there are sacrificial altars. Hands are the houses where women go during menstruation.

Santana's Houses

Portugal

It is assumed that bright triangular houses with sloping roofs down to the ground once stood throughout the island of Madeira, but now, to admire them, you need to go to the village of Santana, and tourists do this with great pleasure. Nowadays, traditional Santana houses are used for the most part not for housing, but as auxiliary buildings to house livestock or agricultural implements.

Yarangi

Russia

The portable dwelling of the Chukchi is more complex than a regular tent: the frame is made of long poles, tripods and poles, fastened with belts, covered with reindeer and walrus skins. The space inside is divided into two parts: a utility part (chottagin), where a fire is lit, the smoke from which comes out through a hole in the dome, and a sleeping area (canopy) - a warm tent.

Tongkonan

Indonesia

According to the myth of the Toraja people, the first tongkonan was built by God in heaven. According to an alternative legend, the first Toraja who sailed to Sulawesi from the north suffered a storm and the damaged boats were used as roofs for their houses. Hence the supposedly amazing shape of the dwellings. Tongkonans are traditionally folded without a single nail.

Hello, dear friends!

The NEKO company addresses you with best wishes!
From the very beginning of communication with you, our role was outlined as HELP at the request of the City Administration in the organization and construction of the Khimki Spikelet settlement. We planned to build an exhibition house, organize temporary warehouses at the site for those who decide to build on their own, create jobs for people with construction specialties, provide free services specialists, providing their projects and prices for the construction of houses. At the same time, it has always been emphasized that the company does not have, does not want to have and will not have any monopoly rights - this is our principled position! And if we help even one family, we will be glad. Over the course of four months, several meetings were held, where the relevant structures of the Khimki urban district were tasked with preparing the site for construction:
1. prepare a draft territory layout for approval
2. conduct geological surveys
3. carry out the removal of boundaries in kind
4. temporary intra-village roads
5. construction.
Precisely in this sequence, and no other way. Everything else is a gamble. Yes, we were and are being offered, since there is no money, to start building without fulfilling the first 4 points. BUT! We cannot allow you to be drawn into this adventure by our actions, offering to start construction without documents. Moreover, they will be required by energy workers, gas workers, supervisory structures, road organizations, etc. Yes, it’s a pity, time and the season are running out, which is not unimportant, but this is not a reason for making the wrong steps, then we will lose more time and money.

Best regards, B. Biragov!

All large families are invited to take part in the construction of the cluster using the received land plots in the Klinsky district, i.e. everyone builds their own house independently or partially using services construction company NEKO, resorting to the help of friends and neighbors, the same parents with many children. And thus we will build a village in uniform style. Official website of the company: www.neko-dom.ru

Each family will be asked to choose a house project of different sizes and architectural solutions with interior and exterior decoration, with a fence around the site, blind areas, paths, a bathhouse, and a gazebo. The goal of this stage is to present as much of a list of items as possible for a comfortable stay.

• Each family will have the opportunity to choose the foundation, walls, roofs, utilities of different construction technologies, finishing materials with the appropriate quality certificates from manufacturing companies according to their capabilities and preferences.
• An architect and designer will work individually with each developer; an estimate and working documentation will be prepared for each selected and agreed upon project. On at this stage each family has the right to compare the proposed conditions with other companies operating in the market for these services.
• Already now everyone has the opportunity to work with an architect, draw up an estimate for the future home and compare the cost of the same house from another company.
• After all issues have been resolved, an agreement is concluded, the project is linked (planted) to the site and construction begins. Construction time is from 30 to 60 days depending on the area of ​​the house.
• The NEKO company will be as open as possible and will meet the developer’s wishes as much as possible, for example:
  • everyone who has construction professions, from workers of various specialties to engineers, will be involved in construction if desired and will receive an estimated salary.
  • if anyone has stock building materials or they can purchase according to their capabilities, in agreement with the architect they will be used.
  • There will be a warehouse for construction and finishing materials at the construction site, and if during the construction process the developer has a desire to change or add something to the project, this will be possible.
• Boris Vladimirovich Biragov was appointed project manager from the NEKO company, contact phone: 8-965-204-01-46

Everyone who wants to participate in the construction of their home and help build a house for their neighbors is invited to the PEOPLE'S CONSTRUCTION!!!

Workers of all specialties are needed, from simple workers to engineers.
