Abstract: Based on the razdatok economy theory, this review article answers the question why, after twenty years of market transformations of housing sector in Russia, razdatok principles emerge in the new housing programs again. The book by S. Harris explores the housing razdatok in all phases of the Soviet cycle, tracing the roots of the housing policy of “thaw” and focusing on the mass resettlement of citizens in the khrushchevka’s. J. Zaviska in her book examines the problem of transformation of the housing razdatok in the post-Soviet period and its turning into “property without markets.” Taken together, these monographs provide valuable insights on the two typical housing models in Russia.
