Desurbanism

The Desurbanismus was a movement in urban planning in the early Soviet Union . In search of the new ideal way of life in the newly emerging socialist state, they advocated the dissolution of the cities and an even distribution of the population over the entire habitable country. Important representatives of the movement were Michail Ochitowitsch , Moissei Ginsburg , Michail Barschtsch and Nikolai Sokolow, who organized themselves as a section for socialist settlement methods according to the state plan of the RSFSR. With the consolidation of Stalinism and the propagation of the socialist city , the movement became obsolete.
