ABSTRACT
Soviet (housing) infrastructure embodied the Marxist political project and created a safety network for the populace. On the other hand, as we show in the examples of Tbilisi and Yerevan, housing infrastructure in the Soviet Union also epitomized inequality through differentiated treatment of representatives of the various occupational classes. Disruptions in the housing infrastructure after the dissolution of the Soviet system had brought to the surface and invigorated already existing inequalities, which was further exacerbated through neoliberal policies of the Georgian and Armenian governments.
