What is a dacha and why do many Russians have one?

What is a Dacha?

• A 'dacha' is a plot of land, often outside the city, with a small house.
• Many Russians have dachas to relax or grow fruits and vegetables in the garden.

Why Russians Have Dachas:

• They provide an escape from busy city life, especially during weekends and holidays.
• Dachas are used in spring, summer, and autumn for activities like gardening, swimming, fishing, and enjoying nature.
• Even during cold Russian winters, people look forward to returning to their dachas to relax.
