Or a "chata" in Czech Republic and Slovakia

  Same word in Polish ;-)

  I’m quite certain this is not the correct translation. “Chata” typically means a house in the nature, outside a town or village. The word we seek is probably something with “záhradka” … within the borders of a town, that can be rented for long periods, intended for growing vegetables.

    Hmm I've been to chaty like you described - in the countryside or a village out in south moravia, south bohemia and vysočina. But I've also been to garden plots near to a city with a little building that has a kitchen and room to chill/sleep in (these little guys: https://en.mapy.cz/zakladni?x=16.6371848&y=49.2350039&z=20&m3d=1&height=90&yaw=-65&pitch=-29 https://en.mapy.cz/zakladni?x=16.6371848&y=49.2350039&z=20&m... - maybe hard to see, street view didn't go here :) ) which were also described as a "chata" to me. There are definitely little bare sheds in some of these plots, but in the context we were discussing I feel like "chata" fits well and is analogous to "dacha" from the comment I replied to. Though I've heard of some grander "dacha", better equipped with more amenities that might be referred to as "chalupa" here.

What do they call the small, hastily assembled, urban garages in places like Moscow?

  A "garage". One that often you hope the authorities ignore :) Fortunately, people aren't snitching like in some other countries. Unless you piss off someone in the police or government or someone needs that land for something and official inquiries are made, you're unlikely to get in trouble.

    I'm guessing the GP means something like the pictures in https://pressa40.ru/neskolko-millionov-rossiyan-zhdyot-garazhnaya-reforma/ https://pressa40.ru/neskolko-millionov-rossiyan-zhdyot-garaz... https://punkt-a.info/news/glavnoe/gorduma-i-garazhi-v-bitve-mezhdu-krasotoy-i-dengami-pobedila-nichya?sphrase_id=56248 https://punkt-a.info/news/glavnoe/gorduma-i-garazhi-v-bitve-... (Very common in xUSSR countries.)
