Fyodor Savintsev's book 'Dacha' captures the cottages of the same name.
Dacha: The Soviet Country Cottage, by Fyodor Savintsev and Anna Benn, FUEL Publishing, 2023.
“My parents tell me I was taken to our dacha at a very young age – I was born in November 1982 and by spring the following year, I was ensconced in this idyllic environment,” Savintsev says in his afterword.Dacha: The Soviet Country CottageThe photographer describes growing up in this world with all the nostalgia that Benn references. He references days spent with friends testing the limits of their sense of adventure and the environment they lived in.
“Although many survive, the majority have disappeared and are now not as easy to find as these photographs might suggest. Savintsev describes the process of searching for old wooden dachas around Moscow as being similar to hunting for mushrooms: glimpsing a fragment through the trees and running towards it, only to be met with disappointment, or — more rarely — to discover hidden treasure,” Benn says.As such, Savintsev is committed to preserving dacha.
