Background
1. The city of Stalinabad was divided into three rayons: Tsentralnyy,
Dyushambinskiy, and Zheleznodorozhnyy. The area of the 01d City
extended approximately from Putovskaya ulitsa to ulitsa Lenina south to
ploshehad Pravitelstva (Government Square), and west to east from ulitsa.
Chapayeva to Krasnopartizanakaya Lrasnykh Partizan]. The sections north
and south of the Old City were erected after 1937 and consisted of modern
large structures located on wide newly built or improved streets with
plentiful vegetation. Native houses (kibitki) in the Old City were being
replaced gradually by large modern buildings.

line. The largest portion of the area was assigned to private construction
of so-called lano dome (plan houses) which were built with the help of
a state loan of10,,000 rables, payable in 20 years. However, the actual
cost of such a house was between 140,000 and 50,000 rubles. According to the
reconstruction plan, the area around the lake on Putovskaya ulitsa wag. to
become the central point of future Stalinabad, which meant that the city would
grow westward. The lots in the area north and west of the new Dinamo stadium

were in great demand and were priced as high as 30,000 rubles for one house
lot. In.comparison, lots in the Shlagbaum section in the southeastern part
of the city cost 3 to 4,000 rubles.
Housing
The old native houses (kibitki) were built of saman, a homemade brick,
compounded of clay, chopped straw and animal manure, which was mixed in a
wet state and sun-dried. Most of these houses were painted white; roofs
were covered with clay, roofing paper (tol), or tile (cherepitsa). The new
two and three-story buildings which were occipied by the government,
institutional orgaiitzations, or used as apartment houses, were of ferro-
concrete or brick construction; some were painted white, but most retained
their original color. They had slate (shifer) and tile roofs. 50X1-HUM

apartments in the new houses being built by the Construction
Office (Stroykontora) were allocated in the following order: 10 percent of all
apartments in"the finished house were reserved for military personnel, 20
percent were distributed by the orders of the Goris lkom (City Executive
Committee), and the remaining 70 percent were t e for the needs of the enter-
prise which received the house for exploitation (i.e., 70 percent of the
apartments built for the textile combine would be distributed among the
employees of this combine).

The main street of Stalinabad was ulitsalLenina.- From ploshchad Pravitelstva
to the railroad station square it was a broad thoroughfare divided in the
middle by a walk for pedestrians. This walk was planted with grass and flower
beds. The only other street of this kind was Shkolnaya, a small street in
'tue northern part of the city, extending about 200 meters on either side of
ulitsa Lenina. Camaercial vehicles were prohibited, on ulitsa Lenina, between
Komsomolskaya ulitsa and ploshchad Fontana. Trucks detoured by way of ulitsa

7. Lenina, ?utovskaya, Ayni, Shkolnaya,and Komsomolskaya were asphalted roads.
Krasnopartizanskaya ulitsa was asphalt paved, except the portion north of
Komsomolskaya ulitsa. Streets intersecting or ending at ulitsa Lenina were
asphalted for about a distance of 200 meters. Other larger streets were
mostly cobblestone roads (mostovaya). Nbst of the streets were unpaved
(stone or dirt) roads.
8. Names of the streets were inscribed on steel plates about 15 x 50 cm-, mounted
on the house nearest each street corner. The name plate was white with a
narrow black strip around the edge and black lettering.

In addition to this, the street name'appeared on each house number plate along
with the house number. These plates, which superseded the old style plates in
1958, were about 20 x 20 cm, painted white with black lettering. The house
plate shown below was a 'typical plate:
Even numbers were on one side of the street; uneven, on the other. Ulitsa Lenina
had uneven numbers on the west side of the street.
9. Most streets of Stalinabad were well illuminated at night by round lamps mounted
at the top of ferroconcrete poles. In order to prevent the theft of the bulbs,
the latter were protected by metallic enclosures. In 1956, after the trolley
bus line was put into operation on ulitsa Lenina, new street lights were
erected .on the top of the poles which supported the trolley power lines. Four
lamps were mounted on the ends of two horizontal cross bars; but, _for economy,
only one bulb was burning.

Stalinabod. In.1952 '91_, flood washed out the dam, and the city was without
electricity for three weeks;,local industrial enterprises and educational
institutions were closed. Two large generators. were brought, alle from
Mosoov, to supply the power for state organizations and movie hou s. These
generators wwe'installed on railroad platform cars at the railroad
station. All city workers and military troops stationed in the Staltnabad-'area
were put to work on the damaged dam.

order to prevent frequent thefts of telephone apparatus, the old style
wooden booths Y:.,::had.been..' replaced by glass booths which were easier for
militiamen to observe. 'The charge for a call from a public booth was 15
kopeks, and only one coin of this value could be used; there was no time
limit, The dial had 10 numbers from "l" to "0" no letters on dial). The.
telephone numbers of Stalinabad had fou"digits =(e.g., 25-36). The open
