First of all, I will say that the dacha is a special place. For us city dwellers, it was a wonderful opportunity to grow greens, vegetables and fruits on our land and for ourselves. I remember that there was a lot of excitement, people seized this chance, quickly equipped their dachas, Nadezhda recalls.



No one was embarrassed that he had to go to work 5 days a week, and then spend both weekends outside the country in the country. After all, the dacha work was exclusively for himself and his family. You then saw the results of this work right in front of you on a plate.”

“Although the state received a completely empty plot, it was not a problem. The whole family took up work, cheerfully and with a song ennobled, broke beds, erected a wooden shed or even a house where you could hide from bad weather.



“These pieces of land of 4-6 acres were usually obtained near the railway station. Few people drove by car, so most of them walked from the station. Half an hour walk and you're there. And for pleasant conversations with relatives and new neighbors, this path flew like an instant.”

“Children were, of course, taken on a mandatory basis. First, let them breathe fresh air and rest, eat vitamins right from the garden. Secondly, let them get used to work from an early age, if they can find work for them. There was always enough training in the country.”



After hard work, there was no sin and rest. And summer vacation is a particularly pleasant part of any trip. Even just sitting on the porch and breathing the smells of the ripening crop is already a pleasure. And if you add to the gatherings of relatives, but call the neighbors, and fry the meat ...



“And companies sometimes gathered impressive, both adults and children. Everyone knew, invited to visit, went to the neighbors. We had fun and useful time. There are so many positive emotions that you still remember with a smile. Where has it gone?

“Now look at these huge areas. The fence is 2 meters high, surveillance cameras hang, a gate with a bolt. You don't know who lives here. And if people show up, everyone is so busy, with dissatisfied faces. They look at you with suspicion. Allegedly, what are you looking for here, love, stealing what you want? It is even awkward to start a conversation with such neighbors, Nadezhda laments.
