Restoring Chekhov's Dacha (Not Just Wallpaper, Please!)
The Yalta dacha where Chekhov wrote "Three Sisters" and "The Cherry Orchard" is plagued by mold and a leaky roof. A campaign to save it is under way, sans state aid. As the head of the campaign explained, "The Russian government didn't want to fund the restoration because the house is in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian government didn't want to pay to promote a Russian author."
