This study analyzes the efficacy of Russian government initiatives to address the endemic housing crisis in Russia since the end of Communism. Beginning with a background of Soviet residential practices, the paper covers housing privatization and the advent of the mortgage system in the early 1990s. The study additionally focuses on policies and programs instituted during the Putin administration, including the Russian National Projects, and concludes with an analysis of the political, economic, and social implications of the Russian government's handling of the housing crisis. |
