Alexander Kalyukin is a Researcher at the Institute for Housing and Urban Research (IBF) at Uppsala University. His primary affiliation is with this specialized research institute focused on urban and housing studies, with his physical location at Trädgårdsgatan 18 in Uppsala, Sweden.
Dr. Kalyukin's research spans multiple dimensions of urban development in post-Soviet contexts, with particular expertise in Russian urban housing systems. His scholarly work demonstrates a strong historical perspective, examining the Soviet housing experiment within long-term urban development frameworks while also investigating contemporary manifestations in post-Soviet Moscow. His methodological approach combines urban history, spatial analysis, and phenomenological perspectives to understand how housing estates shape everyday life experiences.
The analysis of his publications reveals a consistent focus on the intersection of political transformation and urban space in Russia. His work demonstrates how housing policies serve as both reflections and drivers of broader societal changes during and after the Soviet era. Kalyukin's research particularly illuminates the complex continuities and discontinuities in urban development patterns following major political transitions.
His scholarly contributions have appeared in high-impact journals including Urban Studies and Urban Geography, with his 2020 doctoral thesis 'Everyday life in avant-garde housing estates: A phenomenology of post-Soviet Moscow' representing a significant contribution to the field. His chapter in The Routledge Handbook of Housing and Welfare (2023) establishes him as a leading expert on housing welfare systems across the former Soviet space.
