"Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears" shows a dormitory for workers, not
students. The so-called "limitchiki" and "limitchitsy" were placed in dorm rooms
when they came from the provinces and got employment in Moscow. A
heroine of Ashkenazi's film "Kriminal'nyi Talant" (1988) talks about all the hoops
they had to jump through.
There are several films about workers' dorms. "Odinokim predostavliaetsia
obshchezhitie" (1983) is another one. So unless this students wants to write
about dorms for workers who happened to be part-time students, he/she
would have to sort carefully.
