During the years of soviet occupation, housing policy was one of the most important state issues and projects of standardized designs were authorized and distributed by the state. Legal architecture parameters and regulations of soviet times, although their actual validity expired, are visible in todays modern, especially non-elite, standardized architecture.

The study is contextualized by invoking historical and social evaluations of the period.
