If you ask people in Russia where they are going for the weekend in summer, the answer will probably be, “to the dacha”. The dacha is a special place for people who live in cities or towns. For different people, it also means different kinds of activities. Some enjoy fishing or swimming in a nearby river, others prefer mushroom hunting or walking in the wood’s to enjoy nature. For many people, the weekend is not complete without sweating in their banya or bath house.
Not long ago, the main activity for dacha owners was growing fruit, vegetables and flowers in their kitchen gardens. Today, however, people don’t have kitchen gardens, they have lawns with playgrounds and barbecue areas. The fact is that young people and children prefer to relax in the fresh air, go cycling or play with their friends rather than help their parents cultivate the land and do the weeding.
