Life in Russian Countryside (Visiting a Dacha in Siberia)

  • Why are so many people in Russia, especially young people, leaving the cities to move to the massive Russian countryside? What on earth are 'Russian country homes' or 'Dacha's'? And why do over 60% of the population of modern Russia own one? Let's head to the countryside, deep in to the taiga (boreal forest) of Siberia, to my brother's (cousins) wooden Dacha. Let's have a BBQ with my family, and check out rural life in Russia and a Russian cottage.

      I live in the capital but like to spend as much time as possible in the dacha of my grandparents. Nowadays it is so easy and acceptable to work remotely so it's no problem to stay there by the lake for several days or a week. There is no electricity but I have a big battery and an inverter in my car to charge the work laptops. For living there no electricity is needed as the heating and lights are powered with kerosene.

    The Russian people are very lucky to be able to own their own apartment in the city and then also own a dacha in the country. Here in America only the wealthier people can own both. I love the design of that dacha. I like how it’s up off the ground. In U.S. they are called pole houses and are out in more rural areas where you need to be off the ground due to snow and rain.

In the cities and suburbs we like to plant vegetables and fruit trees in our yards, but not it’s not enough to sustain ourselves completely. We still have to go to the store.

      The construction of dacha settlements was ordered by Khrushchev, in the 60s. Also, as a result of urbanization, some people have houses in the village where relatives used to live. It was all used for recreation and growing vegetables and berries. Now, as a rule, it's cheaper to buy everything in the store, but many people like it as a hobby, plus it's all natural, without chemicals. It is also used as insurance against bad times, in case they come

    I only heard about dachas a few years ago, but they've interested me ever since. At first, I wondered what the point was, but then I realised that most Russian city dwellers live in small apartments with little or no outside space, so a dacha is perfect for summer gatherings, relaxation and growing produce and is actually a great idea.

      It's not even about the size of the apartments, since those who have large apartments also have dachas, but the fact that most Russians live in apartments in cities. And many, especially in the warm season, want to leave the stone crowded city, they want to go to nature, fresh air, some, especially the elderly, are engaged in farming as a useful hobby, some, if possible, like to swim in rivers or lakes, ponds, if the weather allows

    12:03 on the bend to the left. That looked just like America, but at the same time, I could feel something vastly different about the people. My mind was blown. I had to watch that road segment about 5-6 times! It is almost like my childhood, except that there, people speak Russian and there's a completely different mindset under this experience. I have no idea how I would react to being in the car with all of you and seeing this scene in person. I haven't felt this way about people in about 10 years, especially my own people. I have Western Siberia and Tuva ancestry. The sense that I feel epigenetically from those ancestors overlaid with this scene of the road and riding in the back of your car is a mind-blown experience. I don't know if you understand. I fled America 4 years ago for India, which is a completely different environment with everything about it that is different. I've also got Indian ancestry, which makes it feel like I came back home.
    I think that in America, very few people would have dachas, because second homes would be damn expensive, and they are typically rented out to people, as the vast majority of us don't have money to have two homes and live in them ourselves. Americans are too busy working to survive or living in another country to escape the high cost of living to think about second homes, never mind living in both at different times of the year.
    There are people in India who do this, as they have ancestral properties from before the British era or even in recent years when the elders were/are still living out in the country.

    What a nice video! Very good to know that you and your family are well. In Buenos Aires in the past it was common (for the middle class) to have a second home outside the city. They were called "quintas" because they were originally small family farms, like an orchard or a large allotment. Years later private neighborhoods began to appear, but these only for higher income sectors. Another option is the in the Tigre Islands, in the northern part of Greater Buenos Aires there is a delta that flows into the Rio de la Plata, near a town called Tigre and on those small islands that form in the delta there are many houses that are used for weekends, they are typical built of wood and elevated over the river. But in these years for the vast majority of people it is impossible to have a second home, even having a single home of your own is very difficult.
    I imagine that you are by Matt's side again, I await the video of the reunion. Congratulations ! I see that subscribers are increasing every day, soon they will reach 100,000! you deserve many more!

I also lived in a city for many years, city life is also good providing you have good neighbors if not, *it can be a long stay* ... My sister had a log cabin in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania very similar to the Dacha concept, but she sold it few years ago, you always had to watch out for bears...

    Good to see this video and how "ordinary people" in Russia can afford a Dacha. If it were mine, I'd probably want to spent more of my time in the Dacha than in an appartment - particularly when they have done all the work they want after extending the building, putting in heating and a bathroom!
    I live in North Yorkshire - in a village - but I do know from a friend who is coming over to the UK in a week or so (to watch THREE Middlesbrough FC games), that in Finland many people have country Dachas (they may have a different name in Finland). I think theirs is near a lake and, of course it has a sauna - which they pronounce SAOONA not SORNA. Sauna seems to be a national obsession in Finland!

But now, in connection with the war in Ukraine, my Ukrainian relatives came to me to wait out the war, and I settled them in this house. He himself moved to his city apartment.

    Hi Julia & Matt ~ It’s so much fun seeing this video as I’ve been interested in Dachas ever since reading about them years ago in a book about Russia. Many people here have cottages (similar to your dachas) in our more northerly areas where there are lakes and forests. Others have cottages by the Great Lakes. They go there in the summer to get away from the cities and their regular daily lifestyles. They did a good job with building the dacha there so quickly. Enjoy your videos very much. Cheers!

(maybe just older) How is it going for him with the current military situation? Also, how is your Gran doing? Hoped to see her. I am not going to mention that english bloke you used to travel with. Have not heard from him lately. Until you brought them (dachas) up, I never realized that we have them here in the states in a similar way. A lot from my local ethnic community (lots of Poles, Ukes, Czechs, and various other eastern europeans) years back had small farm plots away from the city, referred to as truck farms. Also cottages, usually near bodies of water, rivers, even creeks. Amazing similarities. Stay safe and best to you and your family. Chris from Ann Arbor.

From the window you can see a little of the Ural mountains. That was a few years ago. I don't know how the prices are now.

Hope mossies dont eat you up. The worst unfair scenes for us was the bbq time with all the tasty food. That wasnt nice to show as I got very hungry wacthing but I need to loose weight. Anyway, it isnt yet as we call an english grass yet(you know maintained the height of the grass with a scissor. Just joking. Hope the land is good enough for growing veggies. So your brother has done already 2 of 3 things a man has to do in his life. He built a house( I count a dacha as well) he has to have kids(almost delivered) and he has to plant a tree. Lots of space waiting for him to fullfill the last task as well. CU

    We don't have Dachas (rural cottages) but rather if you have the means a holiday home/sometimes made from wood at the coast/sea.
    Most of us go to the coastal areas during the summer holidays (Xmas-New Year) and there are plenty of holiday resorts and also camping areas if you own a caravan or sometimes people go inland to the nature reserves where you can see Lions, Elephants, Buffalo and Rhinoceros.
