A Dacha is a type of country house in Russia. It is typically a seasonal or year-round second home, often located in the Russian countryside. Dachas are used for leisure and gardening activities, and are sometimes used as family retreats during the summer months. They are also used to grow vegetables and fruits, and to raise animals such as chickens and goats. Dachas are typically owned by the families who use them, and are passed down through generations.
