Obschezhitie in Russian literature and film?

[Boele, O.F.]

Dear Seelangers,

Many thanks to all who responded to my question on dormitories and obshchezhitiia in Russian literature and film! Thanks also for pointing out the need to differentiate between students' dormitories and workers' hostels, even if they sometimes seem to overlap. Your input has been highly appreciated!

Iskrenne Vash Shurik by Luidmila Ulitskaya has a couple of characters who live in the student dormitory and some description of their life.

In Vladimir Makanin's novel "Underground ili geroi nashego vremeni"
'obshchezhitiie' is not just a background, it comprises a separate, very interesting and complex theme.
Vladimir Moshkov's film "Papa" shows a student hostel in pre-war (WW II) Moscow.
A couple of short stories by Svetlana Vasilenko are set in worker's hostels.
