Summary/Abstract: The text focuses on the representation of the "new life" idea in the houses built in the 1930s in Sverdlovsk. The author analyzes the newsreel "On Guard of USSR" (1933), the novel by Nikolay Nikonov "The Vestal" (1980s) and the debates of 1929-1930 devoted to the construction of the housing complex on Malysheva 21 designed by Moisey Ginzburg, Alexander Pasternak and Sergey Prokhorov. Rigorously defined social roles and social inequality had become the markers of life in constructivist buildings whereas the images of the "new life" had turned into a longing for household well-being.
