Prague has a real slum. Chudinsk colony Na Slatinch is a rarity
I always thought slums for the poor only existed somewhere in Jin America, like you in Rio de Janeiro. and they are known to be dangerous to go there. I found out that we have a real slum in Prague and that Na Nalatinch, pe Petr Ryskana svm portlu Prague Unknown, which offers an atypical view of the individual cracks of the district.
The colony was founded in the early 1920s. In the then young Czechoslovak Republic, it was necessary to build the tiles of the new buildings for the settlers in Prague. Therefore, debtors and craftsmen from all over the country came to the capital for work. others in soft houses for n vacations were on the tracks. So they began to settle on the land and half-day of the then Great Prague.
They made their houses themselves out of what they had found. They used old bricks, planks, woods, ironwork, tar cardboard and other papundekly. The one who doth dazzled the railway car on the land was clinging. Such an asshole boarded up half the windows, and the naventilan of the room knocked on the old cans. Thanks to that, it was warm.
Most of these buildings were erected. Prvndomek grew up in Slatinch in 1924. In those years, there were around 300 of them. The emergency colony took over the Slatinský brook.
Simultaneously with Slatiny, the adjoining colony Pod Bohdalcem also began to emerge, which was aptly described by Karel Apek in his short story Na Rafand from 1925. It hits the ground with tricks as thick as a pae (but it can’t be too strong pae), it hits the planks and that’s it. You have a lot of trouble with spring when the sun shines on your boards. The other houses are actually made up of some of their inhabitants, some of which are made of old crates, a sheet of pipes collected in the rubbish, driven into the old doors, and, if you have to go some way, stuck with paper. It’s a piece the cottage wouldn’t put a goat in.
A similar building was built in the Na Slatinch colony, where, of course, the children also lived. kolu tvo n several ad devnch pavilon. Today they are in very poor condition and the windows are battered. The whole area was occupied by the homeless.
The water was free. For the electricity connection, 500 crowns were paid in front of the wolf.
The colony flourished in the 1930s and 1950s.
Colony Na Slatinch had its merchants, feeders, sticks, ice cream, almonds, mills, turntables, accordions and a cinema. During its heyday, Slatint also had a football club and a circle of theater amateurs. The theater was played in a pub called U Blebt. It started without electrolines and without water. The village corrected it and in 1934. At that time, the inhabitants could draw water for free from the hydrant. He paid 500 crowns for the electricity connection, which was a large pension at the time, so they started to take electricity into their residents, and Petr Ryska, first, protested the protector, when we could not get kerosene dolamp.

days of the regime, neither the First Republics, nor the Protectorates, nor the Socialists, and after all, that day could not cope with the Na Slatinch colony. She failed to eliminate her.
In connection with the development of the associated construction, the colony began to disappear in the 60s. The owner of the house had to assume that the house would first be demolished and then the whole house and material would be disposed of by transport to the landfill. However, the offer was used only by some of them.
