Abstract. The article analyzes the locus of communal flat in the novels by M. Zoshchenko "The Crisis" and "The Restless Old Man". It is stated that the flat loses its original purpose as a living space: the character of the novel "The Crisis" leaves the family; relatives leave the flat of the deceased grandfather in the novel "The Restless Old Man". The unnaturalness of the communal flat as a locus is increased by the fact that it is never called "home". With the help of hyperbolization, grotesque and the general satirical tonality of the narrative M. Zoshchenko completely discredits the vitality of the communal flat as a living space and a symbol of the Soviet regime, showing their absurdity, illogicality and unnaturalness.
