Cottage and country house is not the same thing. Even a very big cottage, in which there is a city telephone, central heating and from which to Moscow is within reach. The differences between them are not geographic or conditional, but rather spiritual. It is necessary to spend time at the dacha in idleness and supplement this idleness in every way: drink tea in the garden or on the veranda, gather mushrooms and guests and, most importantly, feel a hundred miles away not only from Moscow, but generally from civilization.
