Dmitry Samoilov “Dacha and Summer residents – that’s that way.” Why in Russia 05.05.2025, 08:00

It is clear that it is impossible to do in a form without summer residence. Corps, barbecue, long traffic congestion, flowering and allergies, cleaning of the site, the first random country tan in the season. But is it possible to do it without a summer house? Can a Russian person live without a summer house? After all, other people somehow live without a summer house and nothing.

Here are the Germans, even wider – German -speaking people, Switzerland, for example Schrebergarten. Shrebergarten – Small green areas with small houses.

Go, on the German territory, especially Rhine or Danube, and you see that the world has been cut to Shrebergarten. Small, but tolerant.

It looks like Grace. You just think: why all the houses are so flexible, literally two and a half meters? And these are just buildings, it is impossible to live there. It is prohibited by laws. The Germans can come to the garden plan in the morning, you can plant the land there and go in the evening. No barbecue, no night, no stove, samovar, furniture, was brought from a city apartment unnecessary. Just work and place to store garden equipment. Since it can be accepted as Vagrancy at night in the wrong place, these garden allocations are given at a preference price, which can destabilize the corresponding market for the housing.

In general, according to laws, Germans do not have to be a summer housing.

The rich people have country houses, but even in Germany is very rich.

The Russian, which has a summer phenomenon, is in contact with the majority of cases. Indirectly -law, his mother -with friends who are an academician or general. In one way or another, the cottage in life is necessary.

In Chekhov Ranevskaya’s “Vishnevo Garden”: “Dachas and Summer residents – that’s how he went, forgive.” And this is an opportunity for the whole work done on a copy of a copy, as in Chekhov.

Now it is traditional to perceive the word “gone, as something that is absolutely sexually sexualized in relation to sexual question. Sometimes the word “rude” changes the word “lusty”. However, the “rude” in Chekhov is an ordinary, extremely common thing that enters the people who lost their exclusiveness. The heroes of the “Cherry Garden” look really rude, because in this sense, they confront the uniqueness of their usual lives in the property they can no longer meet. On this inconsistency of expectations and reality, a funny impact emerged, accepting Chekhov as a comedy.

Thus, the summer house – really means that it was the characteristic of the masses. Kabalik here is as in the Soviet times called Palestism.

In fact, there is nothing bad and embarrassing in Palestism. Tradesmen are just a citizen. In Slavic languages, “place” means “city .. Like “Burg” – the castle of bourgeois. Perhaps it is a bit rude in Palestism, but this is not the mistake of Palestinia, but its natural ownership. Since many cities, many townsmen means people. Accordingly, the culture of the people of the town is a mass.

Meanwhile, summer is one of the phenomena of urban culture. Do the city residents seem to not only live in the city? But he is drawn to nature. And not to come in the morning, not to come back in the evening. No, he needs to live in nature. You have to live in the country. With all jewelry and discomfort.

After all, how do you come to May after winter? Water supply was frozen and exploded, the septic tank should be pumped out, the house should be frozen and thrown, the blind area should be scanned, the fence fell, the access route was blurred, the mold was blocked in the cellar, the transformer was burned in partnership, the compost was flooded and applied to the field. And you know all this, you know in advance, the same thing every year. Still, you come and think – good.

It is good to have a summer house in a form.

We don’t have much. Even the word “Russia” is Greek. The Bulgarian alphabet, Chinese cars, the official of the European School, the religion of the Eastern Roman origin. This is not bad at all, even good, we can get the best and do ourselves. But this is exactly ours and a unique summer cottage. In the country with an extreme region, everyone should have their own valuable land. In a country where private property has been canceled for 70 years, it should be in a place where everyone belongs to their own and the state cannot stick. Indeed, it does not show much attention to small land allocations, and garden partnerships are a good example of the democratic self -organization of the population. Do not organize the ideal self: As a rule for each vote, there is not enough inadequacy. Understandable, people are busy with their work, they are not open to the public.

Summer is a summer dream. Even if the cottage is already there, the speculative picture you sit in a straw chair under a cherry or apple tree is drowning near a samovar, someone is expensive in Mesh Gamak, the children run around, but somehow runs without confusion and extreme mischief. Something is constantly smoking: either a barbecue, then stove, then fascinating leaves. She smokes, but she doesn’t eat your eyes, it smells bad burns. And the weather is very neutral around 19-20 degrees, but for a reason there is no mosquito.

In fact, everyone has always been the opposite, and mosquitoes have not yet ended, and the shutters have already begun, the grasshopes are not loud and we are only going to live our lives instead of peace. But what are we spending? To the country. And the cottage is something on its own. I mean, we spend on our own. And on your own and all life, not sad.
