Russian term or phrase: дворовая система
Вместе с исчезновением улицы "советская" уходит целый пласт истории города Баку. Исчезает целая субкультура. Что представляла собой эта культовая "улица"? Казалось бы, невзрачные одноэтажные и двухэтажные старые дома. *Дворовая система.* Никаких особых удобств и комфорта. Можно сказать - трущобы.

Or, rather: "Toilet outside"-system. There is no water in such a "WC". It is a hole dig in the ground with a booth over the hole.
