Note on Sources
INTERVIEWS
My account of postwar dachas is informed by numerous informal ethnographic interviews, a few of which are mentioned in the text and notes. My other source of oral history is a set of ten in-depth interviews conducted by Irina Chekhovskikh in St. Petersburg and Novaia Ladoga as part of her now completed dissertation on post-Soviet survival strategies. Wherever her transcripts have been used, she is cited accordingly.
UNPUBLISHED MEMOIRS
In 1999 I ran “dacha biography competitions” in newspapers in Moscow and St. Petersburg (respectively, Vechernii klub and Sankt-Peterburgskie vedomosti). I invited readers to send in their reminiscences of exurban life and offered a cash prize as incentive. I collected twenty texts in this way and followed up the longer and more interesting entries in face-to-face interviews. I draw on these dacha memoirs in Chapters 6 and 7.
