Dacha

• Have you ever heard about Russian phenomenon called dacha?

• Dacha is something dear, cozy, connected with childhood and summer, something totally Russian.

• In general dacha is a country house for an urban family, which doesn’t use as permanent residence.

• It could be a plain plywood house on 6 acres of land or a capital house on big areas.

• Often there are grown fruit and vegetables.

• In my childhood during summer period we spent almost all free time on dacha, of course more working then resting.

• Although initially dacha appeared as place for resting.

• The word dacha is derivative Russian verb davat’ (to give).

• And indeed at first they were given out, at the beginning to aristocracy by king, later by government to usual people.

• So the main aim also changed, from rest to growing food.

• Now dachas aren’t given out, you can buy or rent it.

• Mostly dachas now are destiny of old people.

• Nevertheless I also wanted to buy dacha.

• And recently I’ve done it!

• My dacha is in a small seaside town, there is a small pretty house and grass to the waist.

• But before it becomes a cozy place for rest, there is lots of work ahead.

• I’d like to make at the house a fireplace, to ennoble the site - plant fruit trees, a lawn, make a hedge around the perimeter and some other ideas.
