Often, these summer houses had no running water, sanitation or any other amenities for that matter, but, every weekend, their happy owners would make their way to their dachas, usually having to take several means of transport to get there. So, what was the attraction?
In modern Russia, a dacha is usually a cottage or a nice house in the country, with a high fence, running water and sometimes heating. The concept of dacha appeared in the Russian language back in the 18th century. For nobles, it meant a country estate with a splendid manor house, where they did not live permanently, but would visit from time to time, usually in the summer. A Soviet dacha was a completely different thing altogether.
