>   A lot of Russian words carrying a nuance of negative meaning have no 1-1
>translation :
> - donosit' ( isn't equal to report )

 I can think of the following:" inform, shop, cough, blag, and lag."
> - zaholust'e

 The English here would be either: "dump" or the "sticks"
> - hibara

 "Rat-hole" captures the essence of -hibara very aptly.
> - halupa

 This is Ukrainian isn't?
> - svinstvo

 I can think of "yobbery".

>or denoting exclusively positive meaning :
> - prozret'                    ( 8am )

Can't think of this one.  
> - kaifofat'                   ( 9am-12am )

"to chill out", "to have a blast"; if you are talking of drug induced
intoxication, it is "to get stoned", "to get monged" and "to get
high", of course.
> - zakladyivat' za vorotnik    ( 1pm-4pm )
> - othodnyak                   ( 4pm-6pm )

I am not sure what these two mean.  
> - dat' duba                   ( 6pm )

"to kick the bucket"-if lethal.

>   Yury
>P.S. I may be wrong.

I am afraid you are! A.M-T.
