RUSSIA: MOSCOW, THE CONCRETE REVOLUTION

The world in all its states

An episode from the series ARTE INVESTIGATION

Synopsis

Since 2017, 4,500 buildings constructed under Khrushchev have been slated for demolition, and nearly a million Muscovites must be relocated.

Officially, the goal is to improve their living conditions. In reality, the city is reclaiming well-located land to build luxury developments.

This film gives a voice to those who are resisting, unwilling to be the fall guys in a massive real estate scheme.
