* Dacha is a Russian word for seasonal or year-round second homes often located in the exurbs of Soviet and post-Soviet cities. Dachas are very common in Russia, and are also widespread in most parts of the former Soviet Union. So dacha is the part of lifestyle, favorite hobby for many tens of millions, recreation and country-wide vegetable and fruit garden.
