I have read a discussion on мазган entry suggesting it is a Russian word. Strictly speaking it is not a Russian, but loan word transcribed into Cyrillic. There are not words containing root of such an origin. This is кондиционер (English language site reads among others: heater - обогреватель, depending on the appliance features) for Russian speakers. The context illustrations are Russian only, so this is a foreign word. If I say менеджер in Russian, it does not presume that word 'manager' is of Russian origin. Again, it is a loan word having Russian cyrillic form, same as a Russian 'sputnik' goes for an English satellite.Vladio (talk) 07:06, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

We have loanwords. If a loanword is used in a target language, it is a word in that languages. I didn't know this word either but it is attested. It's actually not the best spot to start a discussion like this. You should've joined that discussion. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 07:36, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
And by the way, we have менеджер (menedžer). --WikiTiki89 15:55, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
And sputnik. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 19:56, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
