Тhe article examines the everyday problems and moods of towndwellers about the housing crisis at the beginning of 1920s. The article analyzes the publications (editorial articles and articles of the worker correspondents) of the local periodical “Krasnoyarsk Worker” (“Krasnoyarsky Rabochy”), the organ of the Yenisei Provincial Committee of the RCP (b.), during the period 1921-25. The publications of the provincial Siberian periodical are of particular value despite the facts that the newspaper was the Soviet press organ, which implemented and promoted at the local level the policy of the central party committee, and not all the materials that had come to the editorial office were published.
