A Russian country house or cottage, often modest and used as a weekend or summer retreat.
From Russian 'dacha,' derived from 'dach' (share) or possibly from Sanskrit roots. Became widely known in English through Russian literature and cultural contact in the 19th century.
A datcha is deeply woven into Russian culture—Tolstoy and Chekhov wrote about them, and many Russians still own tiny cottages where they escape city life and grow food.
