Annotation:

At the 20th Party Congress Khrushchev called for a rational distribution of industry and a regulation of migration flows. The interaction of the City Soviets with local factory directors and the interconnections between the granting of residency permits and the awarding of accommodation increasingly led to a Soviet society which was structured around patron-client relationships and territorial stratification.
