If you have lived in a Khrushchevka apartment or have been a guest in such an apartment, you have probably noticed the strange window that is located between the kitchen and the bathroom. What is the purpose of this window there? There are many guesses and myths about this window. Some argue that the window is supposed to protect the walls from the blast from a natural gas explosion, but then why were such windows installed in homes that were not gasified? Others argue that the window served to fight tuberculosis. Indeed, in the 50s and 60s the incidence of tuberculosis was high, and dark, damp bathrooms are the best place for bacteria to grow. Or maybe it actually WAS meant for your KGB agent? Let's find out.

Hey there. Somehow you found my video and decided to watch it. So let me introduce myself. I'm Sergei and I'm from Russia. My channel is about my native country. I want to tell English-speaking viewers about the real Russia, about its past and present. Unfortunately, you can find a lot of propaganda about Russia on the Internet, both from the Russian media and from the Western ones. I want to tell you about Russia, as it really is, the country in which I was born, grew up, and lived all my life.
