“Dacha – A Russian Survival Strategy”

Irena Mostowicz published her work in Polish. The cover text says:

Why does the dacha—a modest house with a garden—play such a central role in Russian society? Irena Mostowicz comprehensively and insightfully demonstrates how this cultural phenomenon has, over the decades, blossomed into a space of escape, survival, and private freedom in a state based on control and violence. “Dacha” offers a brilliant analysis of the Russian mentality, social double-think, and everyday strategies for coping with reality.
