Russian folk (national) housing - in Russian traditional culture, widely existed in the late XIX - early XX centuries, is a structure made of wood - the house built on the carcass or frame technology. Rarely, mostly in the south existed stone, mud-brick houses. In the traditional form by now almost does not occur, but its traditions are preserved in the architecture of rural housing, as well as suburban construction.
A characteristic feature of the Russian home shrine was in the red corner, where are placed the icons (images). Before hanging lamp icons and the icons themselves are sometimes decorated with embroidered towels. Ethnographers assume that the tradition of the red corner is pre-Christian origin, and used instead of the icons placed on the shelf wooden image (chock) brownie. An integral feature of the Russian home was a Russian stove with stove bench and bunks. Nestled table cloth decorated with a samovar, around which gathered for tea.
