Rooms in Russia Rented by Yard Figure
In Moscow the rent per room follows a yard measure and weekly wages. A “minimum norm” of about seven by seven feet sets the space for one person, with larger rooms for higher earners. When several tenants share, rent uses the largest salary among inhabitants. Nepmen attract higher rents but coop houses rely on state loans and non members occupy edges of space. Students pay five cents per month per minimum norm.
