Annotation
The subject is utterly simple: It is a scene of everyday daily life on a collective farm, which Zagonek "peeked at" in Staraya Ladoga, which he strived to travel to early in spring so he could have creative time at the dacha and catch his favorite period, nature’s transition between winter and spring.
