Many Russians, especially living in big cities, have dachas, small or big countryside houses. It is a Soviet legacy, a tradition. The beginning of May is a time when many people visit them.

Global energy demand expected to fall the equivalent of India's consumption this year
The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported global energy consumption could fall by 6% this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic crisis.
"This is a historic shock for the energy world as a whole. With unprecedented health and economic crises, the drop in demand is staggering for almost all sources of energy, especially for coal, oil and gas", IEA's executive director Fatih Birol commented.
Global CO2 emissions should drop by around 8% (or nearly 2.6 gigatonnes), returning to their lowest level since 2010.
This would be the largest decline ever recorded, six times greater than the previous decline recorded in 2009 following the global financial crisis, the IEA estimated.
