Abstract: Transformation of technological processes in many industries, and growth of remote working in particular, speeded up in 2020 by quarantine measures, is most evident in largest cities of the world. Russia is not an exception, with Moscow being the example of this process going-on intensively. Authors argue that due to Russian socio-economic realities (an established settlement system, the structure and the size of property ownership, the income level) the development of remote working in Russia will most likely lead to an increase in time spent by Russians in their second homes (dachas). Data supporting the hypothesis of the shift to dachas are provided. The article is devoted to factors contributing to such a shift, with special emphasis made on real consequences of the government policy. Analysis made by the authors using the data from Vladimir region shows that state-sponsored rural areas development programs lead to more intensive use of dachas in those areas. At the same time depopulation of rural areas continues regardless of government efforts, and pressure on local budgets increases. Based on the conducted analysis, authors formulate policy proposals on how to use the noticed trend in order to boost the regional development. Main idea is to make it possible for taxpayers to split their income tax payments between budgets of territories, where real estate objects belonging to them are located.
