Subject: the undecipherable abbreviation/acronym
Morning all!

I'm looking for examples of abbreviations and acronyms in Russian which have given you serious headaches when looking for the English.

I need ones which can be interpreted to mean different things or which are simply undecipherable to even most Russians.

e.g.
8-ой ОРБ ДЭБ МВД РФ
СУ СКП РФ

Thanks!

Susan, actually the ones you cited are very easy for most Russians:
8-е оперативно-розыскное бюро Департамента экономической безопасности Министерства внутренних дел Российской Федерации
Следственное управление Следственного комитета при прокуратуре Российской Федерации

Most difficult are corporate abbreviations specific for the particular company.

OK. Your Russians must be smarter than mine. :)
