Don't most of these buildings have elevators nowadays? If so, this should be mentioned in the article. Esn 01:16, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
A popular Soviet-time joke about everyday life in a low-end "khrushchevka" apartment was that "every khrushchevka resident has his (her) own Gavanna" (humorously alluding to both the city of Havana, and to low-end amenities in "khrushchevkas"). Although I've never lived in a khrushchevka, but visited some in Moscow, in Leningrad, and in several cities across the former USSR (from the Baltic States to Uzbekistan, Siberia, and Sakhalin). Only good humor could help survive a khrushchevka under those living conditions, and the "lucky" people actually developed a whole range of jokes: from Gavanna to "acoustics good enough to sing in a choir" with neighbors.

Isn't it the case that this type of quick-build was necessitated by the dreadful destruction caused by WW2? Shouldn't the article say something about this? Camillus (talk) 23:10, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi, could these two buildings be Khrushchovkas? They are situated in Nalaikh, a mining town very near Ulaanbaatar. Yaan ( talk) 13:00, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
China is filthy with these things, particularly in second-tier cities that have seen booms in population. They even make new ones now that look like the old, but with all the mod coms. Never heard anyone refer to them as "Heluxiaofu lou" (the name of Chinese article), but Krushchev got a pretty chilly reception in China after his Secret Speech, so that's not surprising. 207.188.232.179 ( talk) 13:26, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

I think this article could be expanded to the benefit of readers if it discussed the cultural significance of the Khrushchyovkas in post-Soviet societies. I noticed the article mentioning the Soviet film "The Irony of Fate" in a pop culture reference. Maybe the article could benefit from having a description of the film and what role Khrushchyovkas play in the film in order to expand on the reference. There are many good articles in the Calvert Journal that could aid in this.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Gillybean399 ( talk • contribs) 19:53, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Khrushchyovka → Khrushchevka – WP:COMMONNAME in reliable sources, WP:CONSISTENT with spelling of Nikita Khrushchev and other articles on related subjects ( intitle:Khrushchev, intitle:Khrushchyov).
Google Books Ngram shows that the proposed spelling was always the majority spelling until 2015. The current spelling was almost never used until 2009, and recently broke even (maybe Wikipedia feedback effect, since this article was created in 2006?).

Most of the English-language sources cited use a lowercased form of the name. Google Ngram indicates the lowercased form has been slightly more common in the last 15 years. [1]
On the one hand, we usually but not always capitalize common nouns derived from proper names, but on the other, some of the sources italicize the word as a romanization from Russian, which does not have that rule.
Both forms are in use, but lowercased seems to be slightly favoured. So I will edit the article to un-capitalize khrushchevka. — Michael Z. 16:13, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
I think Wikipedians did a mistake renaming "khrushchYOvka" as "khrushchEvka". You see, for a long period of time, the Ё was not represented in Russian JCUKEN (ЙЦУКЕН) keyboard layout of typewriters. So, the lack of the Ё symbol is not "common name" but rather, a common technical limitation. Nowadays, there are decrees that make Ё and Е equal in Russian documents, just to prevents situations liek that. 81.89.66.133 ( talk) 09:33, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
