Dacha digest

Dachas are a uniquely Russian phenomenon. Some folks inherit their dachas from their grandmothers in godforsaken villages, other spend all their savings to build their own personally country house in marvelous cottage communities.

Some like gathering mushrooms from the neighboring forest, others go to the banya with friends, and still others throw barbecues on the riverbank. The dacha frees people from grueling work, never-ending responsibilities, and the internet. But we’re bringing the dacha back to the cyber world to tell you all the secrets of Muscovites’ mysterious summer life.
