Portrait d’une famille de datchniki à Kazan : le quotidien des urbains russes vu à travers la datcha
Résumé
The dacha is a central object of culture and daily life in Russia, but poorly researched as a scientific object by French or Russian academic world. The dacha is a space that can be studied in many ways, but, in this article, we are interested in its popular form, that is to say, dachas as simple vegetable plots of the Soviet urban dwellers because it is the most common form nowadays.
Following the daily life of a Kazan family between 2012 and 2018, our purpose is to bring to light the different food, social and recreational functions of the dacha from the Soviet era until today. Indeed, dachas are a key area for understanding the daily lives of ordinary Russians in the 21st century.
