xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">В гостя́х хорошо́, а

- home". And this is true even if home is in the taiga in Siberia, down along the Volga or
- beyond the Ural mountains. Russians in the major metropolitan areas and the larger cities live
- in high-rise apartment buildings, whereas those in the rural areas tend to live in
- single-family homes. A drive through <span xml:lang="ru" class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">прови́нция</em></span></strong></span> the provinces will reward you with
- glimpses of those homes which are usually wooden, single-story and often brightly painted and
- decorated. Quite a contrast to the concrete monsters in the major urban areas!</p><p>Housing, whether in terms of quality or quantity, has always been a problem in Russia and
- continues to be so today. The recent move toward privatization has made it possible for some
- Russians to buy their apartments from the government; others must continue to live in
- government-owned and subsidized housing. For the foreign buyer, while supply might exceed
- demand, real estate prices in Moscow and St. Petersburg proper rival those in cities such as
- New York, London and Tokyo. But many Russians still find themselves in situations where
- multiple families have individual rooms in a <span xml:lang="ru" class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">коммуна́лка</em></span></strong></span> communal apartment
- and others must live in cramped quarters with their extended families.</p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch05s11.xhtml">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"> </td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ch06s02.xhtml">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Months of the year </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.xhtml">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Setting the scene</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
