Brief history 

City of Bor located on the opposite side of the Volga River to Nizhny Novgorod, 500 kilometres east of Moscow. 
For over 5000 years Ugro-Finnic tribes came here to  live. Forests, rivers, lakes, water-meadows promised considerable rewards to those capable of mastering the area; most of them  self-reliant farmers and crafts people. 
In 1847 the shipbuilding factory  was founded there. Bor became an industrial city in Soviet Union after revolution.  Key industries include glass works, building materials, machine building, metal working and metallurgy, heating, forestry and wood working, light industry, food processing, ship building, and an alcoholic beverages industry. Bor is Russia's leading flat glass producer, serving mainly the automotive and construction industries. The factory was created in 1934, it employs 7, 500 people.
It is the leader in the auto glass and quality construction glass markets and also produces mirrors, double-glazing and tableware.

    Bor has population about 70 thousands. Our address is Dostoevsky 2 Street.  A lot streets around named after famous Russian writers. Of course the best time here is summer. Three months vacation for kids. Neighbor friends. Birthday Party. Cycling.  Swimming. A lot of berries from the garden.

    Our dacha. This word is unclear for not Russians. This means a summer house in rural area with minimum conveniences, often without electricity. People use it to relax from city life and for the last years even to support family with food. Around small house they grow vegetables, fruit trees, berries and flowers. This house is built  by my father in low. This shutters are painted by Masha. This is worldly famous special for only this geographical  area Russian painting applying mostly on wood.     Strawberries like extra care and we are going to provide it. This ray is cultivated by our grandma and grandpa.
