    I will hazard to guess that your granddad might have never suspected that the magnificent work he did in this dacha would be seen by hundreds of thousands (maybe millions!) of people worldwide, thanks to your RUclips channel and this lovely tour.

      This reminds me of my granddaddy’s rented house and yard in San Francisco. He loved to garden, cook, and build so we spent lots of time outside messing with him when I was Agatha’s age in the 1950s. I know this place holds good memories for you and it’s cool you will be able to share it with Agatha.

      In Soviet Russia, the "Government" Didn't Do any Favors For the People. As Is Today, Russia is Governed by Socialism and Ruled by "Dictators" Like Putin. "Everything" in Soviet Russia was about Total Control of the People. Grandad was No Exception. His Little Plot of Land was about "CONTROL"!! The People Just Didn't Realize It. All Propaganda!!

    Beautiful video. I am a grandpa myself, but sadly my baby granddaughter Nyla died just before Christmas 2020. It makes it even more special to see a young girl like you having such a special relationship with her grandparents. It makes me think of the life we would have had with Nyla. It made me so happy to see you. Thank you.

    Thank you, Vika for your simplistic explanations about life in Russia, I was born in The Netherlands but moved in 1982 to New Zealand. During the cold war (1968) when I was in the army we were taught to be fearful of Russia. I didn't buy that, as my philosophy was that there must be people like me in Russia. I was determent that one day I will go to Russia, especially Siberia to find out for myself. In 2004 my life's journey took me to Krasnoyarsk where I lived for about 12 months. I lived in Moscow for 3 months, I also was in Tolyatti, Samara, and ST Petersburg., an experience I hold close to my heart. Yes, I lived in very small apartments, but they were cozy, I spent time at people's dacha's what I thoroughly enjoyed, with the lovely food they prepared!!
    Moscow is definitely my favorite city, the architecture is fabulous, with the metro stations, a piece of art you don't see anywhere else on the planet, and during Xmas time you get blown away by the most wonderful decorations!!! The way lots of people socialize in a very calm and disciplined manner was rather adorable!! My experience was and is being in Russia; you don't need to be rich, to enjoy and live a satisfactory life!!!

    In East Germany they call this place a "Datcha" and it is spelled like "Dacha". ;) In the west we call them "Schrebergarten". They are very common here, too. Especially in the last years because more and more people want to grow their own vegetables again. But they are a lot of weird regulations. Most Schrebergarten-Owners are old people and the new owner are mostly young people. The old people love the regulations. :D Sometimes they walk around with a folding rule, measuring the hedge. When it's to high, they complain! And those old people love kitschy stuff, especially garden gnomes. Their gardens are mostly NOT minimalistic with all that kitsch stuff. The younger people love to grow vegetables and sometimes to have party and so the trouble starts. :D

    Yes, you are correct about the cellar. My grandmother and grandfather which we called MaMah and PaPah had a cellar. My grandmother would fix apple butter in the cellar with a huge iron kettle and shelves of cinnamon candy. She would cook over an open fire. All the women would cut up the apples and cook them in the huge iron kettle and add cinnamon candy to the apples. Us kids ate the cinnamon candy. She would can the apple butter. They had a huge garden and she canned everything. We are from West Virginia and all the men would hunt deer, squirrel, turkey and my brother was a big fisherman also.

    Grandpa did a great job. Everything is so pretty. Beautiful dacha. It’s called a root cellar in Texas. Place to keep potatoes, etc. Your baby is beautiful, and what a sweet hubby.

    I really like how you explain everything, I feel like with every video I get to know so many new things. Also, it's so wonderful for Agatha to also spend her childhood and create memories where you have. How about re creating a photo from your childhood with Agatha?.
    I really enjoyed watching this. 🙂

    Here in Alaska, the restroom you appropriately called a “toilet” is what is referred to as an OutHouse here. Only thing really different is that we have a lot of magazines in case your, well , in there for awhile!!! Haha. Also noticed you appropriately called the Hole in the Earth a cellar. We Alaskan’s have to make things a bit more difficult by calling ours a root seller but hey who’s right/wrong! Here in our State of Alaska we are very blessed to have many of our neighbors that are originally from Russia still living amongst us. Very nice neighbors that always are willing to lift a hand and of course are great carpenters by make very cool buildings and of course churches are absolutely traditional with the outside appearance. I’ve learned a lot about our cultures and the difference over the past 28 years here and wouldn’t trade it for the world! I’m pretty sure you’ve learned a few things about how the, at the time years ago, about the whole history of then called the Alaska Territory and how everything came about to where we are today!
    Glad I came across your video. And please If you and your family find yourselves in Alaska, we’ve got a lot of personal behind the scenes touring my family can show you that most tourists don’t get to see! We’ve our own private plane and cabins for pleasure and cabins for hunting!! Stop by anytime!!!
    Cheers from Alaska USA!

      @@minime7375 that’s kinda the tricky or sticky part of the whole issue. The Alaskan Natives tell the story one way then there’s always another way and heck in this case let’s throw in a completely different opinion. BUT, I’m not saying your wrong. Just saying there’s been a long standing debate on who actually owned the land to begin with. Very interesting subject to learn about though. Another big issue was the naming of the tallest Mountain in the whole US. Some say Mt. McKinley while the natives call it Mt Denali. Meaning the tall one. If I recall it’s finally been settled to be permanently named as originally named in honor of the Natives and so Mt Denali it is. I’ve called it that since I moved here. President McKinley had really little to nothing to do with the State at the time.

    It was done/uoloaded 2 Years ago, I've gone through your videos long ago. Today I see it om my side bar! It's a beautiful house .I'm glad someone is taking care of it. For anyone to stay there right through the winter you'l need muscles. Clear you path which will lead to fetching more wood. You cant really go shopping so you need to have everything.
