Abstract
The article investigates the living circumstances of Kabardino-Balkaria's inhabitants during the Great Patriotic War. A comparison of the situation of the number of communal living spaces before and after the republic's temporary possession of its territory by Nazi invaders was carried out. The following factors were highlighted as contributing to the worsening of the housing crisis: the installation of evacuation hospitals in the region, the evacuated population, and considerable demolition of properties by occupants. The experience of state officials and the public in arranging the rehabilitation and building of homes for the region's urban and rural people has been explored. The challenges of delivering water and energy to city dwellers are examined. The characteristics of treatment facilities, bath-laundry facilities, and hairdressing services for the general public are revealed. The status of transportation and communications to suit the population's daily de-
mands is assessed. It is decided that by the end of 1945, it was essentially able to reestablish the republic's housing economy, which supplied inhabitants with a minimum of living space and utilities and allowed them to live in the severe conditions of the war. Thousands of residents continued to
live in non-residential facilities such as barracks and other structures. Nonetheless, folks worked diligently, bore pains and tribulations, and linked the betterment of life to the impending Victory.
