Russian tradition: summer cottages

Russians has a tradition that started in the 20th century. Russia was an agricultural country for many centuries. Russians love to grow something in the earth and the earth gives people a lot. During industrialization, people started leaving their lands. But many citizens started to have summer cottages. We call it dacha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacha). When you are young you like to spend time at dacha with friends. You are talking and playing. You must have a Russian sauna on every dacha. A Russian sauna is a great place to have a rest. When you have children and wife you want to feed them and want to grow vegetables, fruits and berries. It's a great pleasure to eat berries from bushes. The Russian summer is short and you must work hard to have a good harvest. Russian summer cottages are a good tradition that gives health and food.

There are a lot of benefits!
