This article examines Ukraine’s regional clan structures in the Soviet peri- od, arguing that they endure in the form of historically composed social structures that influence current events. The paper explores changes to the built environment in the 1950s and 1960s, when Ukraine became involved in high priority military-industrial production. The vast network of enterpris- es, design bureaus, research institutes, and military production facilities are more than a cumbersome Soviet inheritance.
