alexpgpGood morning all. I'm just coming off a night of very poor quality sleep, but I'll be okay.
Unfortunately, I'm not quite all there yet, so I didn't really need to run headlong into that quaint Russian habit of creating a pseudo abbreviation out of a word by replacing the body of the word with a dash, retaining typically two letters up front and one or two at the back. Example:
Right off the bat, this finds me "производство" (though granted, not with the "greedy" kind of matchup that would be so satisfying), which causes me to have a "I-coulda-had-a-V-8!" moment, as in retrospect, that's all it could be.
I. Need. Coffee.
Cheers...

Установка отпарки отходов пр-ва серной кислотоыAfter staring at the above for a full minute and trying to guess what "пр-ва" might stand for, I came up with a Find string in Word that does the trick fairly well:
<пр[а-я]@вInterpretation: Starting at a word boundary, find the string "пр", followed by one or more lowercase Cyrillic letter(s), followed by a "в" (I don't care about the last "а", since that's an ending).
Right off the bat, this finds me "производство" (though granted, not with the "greedy" kind of matchup that would be so satisfying), which causes me to have a "I-coulda-had-a-V-8!" moment, as in retrospect, that's all it could be.
