MO SSSR (Ministerstvo oborony) ?
Paul Blay
organisation associated with ~1800 satellites in his master
launch log.
After some searches on the internet I believe that MO stands
for "Ministerstvo oborony" but I have no idea what 'oborony'
means.
So, can anyone help me out with information on this ministry
and its role in the Soviet space activity?

P.S. Russian on-line dictionaries are not helpful as
I do not know the Cyrillic alphabet, and do not have the
appropriate Input Method Editor.

"Oboron" means "Defense."
The answer to the second part of the question, now that you know the answer to
the first, should be fairly obvious....

"Oborona" is the nominative singular, "defense"
"Oborony" is the genitive singular, "of defense."
("Oboron" is valid, but it's the genitive plural).

And the root, which is why I didn't use "oboron/a". With the root, you can
define any variation.

Deja vu! I've seen this sort of arguing regarding translation of
Russian words before.
Is it possible that OM = Allen ThOMson?

(Very clever, actually. Perhaps OM frequently trashes Deja in an effort
to ensure that people don't suspect that he and Allen might be one and
the same.)

Ah, Dave, but the Original Din wasn't about translation, per se, it was about
pronunciation.

Anything is possible, except those things that are impossible.
I neither confirm nor deny.
Actually, I do deny, and abjure the allegation; but would not wish to
confirm the denial, nor to abnegate the alligator.
As there is no controlling legal authority, the question is moot and,
in my case, totally without meaning.

I don't think so. I have a name attached
to OM (which I choose not to share) and it isn't
Allen Thomson.

OK. I was just struck by the way the OM in ThOMson lept off the screen
as he and Andy were arguing about the fine points of Russian/English
translation ;-)

...Nope. Not Allen, not by a long shot. Good try, tho.

See, here we go again. It wasn't an argument. He clarified the original
question, and I clarified my post. Hardly qualifies as an argument.

Yes it does! (No it doesn't etc etc etc.) Sorry - couldn't help it.

Sorry Colin but I revealed OM's identity ages ago. He is Boris the moon
monkey. He used to cryptically post under the backward spelling of YEKNOM
and then just shortened it to OM.
Of course, he is a monkey on the outside but still a Jim Oberg clone on the
inside...
