How Russians spend summer in the countryside (PHOTOS)

How Russians spend summer in the countryside (PHOTOS) presents a photo-focused look at rural summer life across Russia and surrounding regions. The images depict seasonal routines such as freshly mown grass, morning dew around porches, and gatherings into the evening. Scenes include a wooden house on a dacha plot in the Moscow Region and a girl picking vegetables in a garden plot in the Leningrad Region. Another feature shows Larisa Kasaeva from the remote high-mountain village of Dunta in North Ossetia making homemade cheese from cow’s and goat’s milk using traditional recipes linked to Ossetian cheesemakers of the Trusovskoye Gorge. The gallery also highlights a village in Crimea (Klinovka), blooming poppy fields, cats wandering fences, homes in Karelia, and a folk festival in Kukushka, Perm Krai. Additional frames include fishing trips on a river, sunrise by a lake, and shashlik as a signature dacha summer dish.
