History
In 2010, the population of the village was just over 100. Subsequently, intensive high-rise residential construction started, and apartments were sold to individuals who had jobs in nearby Saint Petersburg. The infrastructure lagged considerably behind this development.[8] There is no industry or large-scale infrastructure in Kudrovo.
The world's most crowded apartment block can also be found in Kudrovo. The complex is home to around 20,000 people and contains 3,708 apartments. The building has 35 entrances and 25 floors. There is an average of 4 to 6 apartments on each floor. The giant apartment complex was built in 2015.[9]
