4sqm kitchen is basically how everybody lives in ex-USSR, and I presume China too, and probably Japan and Korea.

It's quite some space if you know how to use it.

Ukrainian here. I've only seen 4m kitchen once in my life, and it was in apartment in 120 y.o. building. In all the USSR-era apartments the kitchen was at least 8sqm.

Obviously you were lucky: Soviet standards were pretty diverse (non-russian republics getting the best housing and wares, then Ukrainian and Belorussian SSRs, and finally the worst ones for RSFSR).

Here you have a typical plan of block khruscheba: http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/volgodim/14339505/26623/26623... I've seen quite a few of those. 5.8 m^2 kitchen. All over Russia.
