URBAN COMMUNITIES IN THE 1920s (ON THE EXAMPLE OF SLOBODAS AND SUBURBS OF KRASNOYARSK, YENISEI PROVINCE)

The paper attempts to reconstruct certain aspects of the daily life of residents of urban communities - residents of slobodas and suburbs of Krasnoyarsk in the 1920s – as an insufficiently studied phenomenon of local history. The relevance of the topic is determined by the possibility of identifying the social consequences of compact living of groups with similar sociocultural and status characteristics. In the context of intensified migration processes in modern urban landscapes, places of autonomous residence of such groups are often formed, creating an increased riskiness, which actualizes the need to address the topic, including in the context of historical experience. In the paper, the main research perspective is focused on the analysis of archival sources identified by the author - minutes of meetings of local history circles organized at the State Museum of the Prienisei Region and the Pedagogical Museum of Krasnoyarsk - and the representation of inhabitants of slobodas and suburbs in regional media of the 1920s. Based on a study of the characteristics of the sociocultural appearance of the residents of these territories, interaction with other actors in the urban space, reconstruction of the conditions of everyday life and ways of spending free time, the process of compiling a social characteristic is initiated, the reasons for giving the inhabitants of slobodas and suburbs of Krasnoyarsk similar status characteristics and possible reasons for socio-spatial segregation in the discourse of local society are identified. The results of the study makes it possible to conclude that in the local conditions of a provincial Siberian city in the 1920s the peculiarities of everyday life and work, and the leisure preferences of residents of slobodas and suburbs became one of the reasons for the appearance of “invisible borders” within the urban space. Prospects for further research are related to the possibility of drawing up a holistic picture of the daily life of urban residents of provincial territories in the first years after the restoration of Soviet power and identifying the reasons.
