I recall a funny story I read about 25 years ago, where company names like the later in your post were exaggerated for laugh: НИИВТОРСЫРЧЕРМЕТБРАКМРАКСНАБСТЫДСБЫТЗАГРАНПОСТАВКА 🙂

Oh man, Roman, please tell me that word doesn’t actually make sense in Russian… or does it? 😉

oh, russian is easy.
There are two different words: “шерсть” and “обрабатывающий”, we get “шерстеОбрабатывающий” Just add the connecting letters“ 0 ”or“ E ”and combine the words =)
Or “грязь”, “вода”, “лечебницаl” and we get a “водОгрязЕлечебница”
Much easier than 12 kinds of time in English

Mind = blown, thank you for these examples, Jury! Now I want to try водогрязелечебница myself. 😄
