The longest house in Russia. How do people live at 1488 meters
Those who travel around the Kola Peninsula should definitely see a unique example of modern residential architecture - an apartment building in Murmansk, which has 26 addresses.The house stretches along Kolsky Avenue and each of the sections received a separate address, including not only Kolsky Avenue, but also Bering Street. For couriers delivering parcels to this house, the work is greatly simplified. After all, it is much easier to find the desired section than the entrance, the numbering of which can go both to the left and to the right.
The mentioned house is a whole residential neighborhood, which received the number 305. Inside its courtyard there is a school, a kindergarten, a stadium. Due to the practically closed configuration, the house forms a closed courtyard, protected from strong winds, which are typical for the Far North, where Murmansk is located. Therefore, walking in the yard will be comfortable in any blizzard "outside".
If you take a closer look at the building, you can understand that its structure is divided into several houses, which are connected by corner towers that form an integral configuration. On each of these towers, an artistic panel is painted, preserved to this day in excellent condition. The images show the famous icebreaker Arktika and other images illustrating the ideals and achievements of the Soviet past.
It is noteworthy that being the longest house in Russia, this building is ranked 9th among record-breaking houses in the world. Whether it is a lot or a little is up to everyone to judge.
Among other interesting houses built on the territory of Russia, one can note the round-shaped donut house located in Taganrog. Also in the Crimean Foros there is a dormitory located inside the former wine cellars. Well, and, of course, it is worth noting the house with 3708 apartments, which was mentioned above and which many call the main "humanist". Its length along the perimeter reaches 990 meters. It is impossible to cover the entire structure with any camera, or even with a human eye.
