Obschezhitie in Russian literature and film?

[John Dunn]

In recent years different Russian television channels have, I believe, created several possibly short-lived situation comedies set in student hostels.  My attempts at tracking down information about the one I vaguely remember watching a few years ago were not successful, and it may be that it and others have been consigned to a well-merited oblivion.   Your student might, however, get somewhere by following up these references:

Dear Seelangers,

A student of mine is determined on writing a paper on the student
"obshchezhitie" in Russian literature and film (Soviet period and
today). Sounds like an interesting topic, I agree, but I feel helpless
when it comes to offering any concrete suggestions on descriptions of
students housing, dormitories etc. Could anyone help out?
