The early Soviet state wanted to re-shape the kitchen. Having declared it a relic of the past and a soon-to-be-casualty of the struggle to create a ‘new everyday life’ (novyi byt), Soviet officials aimed to communalise and even professionalise the space of the kitchen. These campaigns, however, obscure a much longer history of the kitchen. Not only were many urban kitchens already communalised out of necessity, but reformers in the late Imperial period had made earlier attempts to transform the space, using hygienic concerns as justification. This article traces debates over the space of the kitchen across the long revolutionary period, examining how plans to re-design it highlight deep similarities between liberal reformers of the late Imperial period and Soviet activists.

烹饪新的每一天：革命时代的公共厨房，1890-1935

早期的苏联政府想要重新塑造厨房。苏联官员宣布它是过去的遗物，并且即将成为创造“新日常生活”（novyi byt）的斗争的牺牲品，苏联官员旨在使厨房空间公共化甚至专业化。然而，这些活动掩盖了厨房更长的历史。不仅许多城市厨房已经因需要而公用化，而且帝国晚期的改革者更早地尝试改造空间，以卫生问题为理由。本文追溯了漫长的革命时期关于厨房空间的争论，研究了重新设计它的计划如何突出帝国晚期的自由改革者与苏联活动家之间的深刻相似之处。
