For a new ecology of living

The drawback of some today’s Euroremonts is the fact that neighbours’ apartments can be damaged, and mechanisms of compensation function with great difficulties in such cases.
Some apartments, probably, should be preserved in their original state, as a memory of the Soviet-time communal flats; the more so, as the interior from the 19th or early 20th centuries, stucco moldings, parquet floors etc., has been preserved in some of them.
