Abstract
The history of the construction of BAM settlements on the territory of the Khabarovsk region in 1974—1984 is considered. The relevance of the study is due to the need to study the experience of housing construction of the Soviet era in areas of new development, the use of which is possible for the development of modern programs of the Far East. Using materials from the funds of the State Archives of the Khabarovsk region, the authors analyzed the volumes of construction of housing and social infrastructure facilities, identified the main shortcomings and difficulties associated with this process, such as lagging behind the construction of housing, adjusting master plans. An attempt has been made to classify the BAM settlements of the Khabarovsk region, to determine the set of social infrastructure facilities in them. The novelty of the research is determined by the poor study of the history of BAM construction settlements on the territory of the Khabarovsk region and the introduction of new sources into scientific circulation. The authors come to the conclusion that the lack of housing and the poor development of social infrastructure in the BAM villages of the Khabarovsk region became one of the reasons for the outflow of BAM builders, which negatively affected the implementation of the government’s plans to settle the Far East and ensure the effective use of the Baikal-Amur Mainline.
