Pretty sure those are all acronyms.
Not a single one is real acronym. Looks more like "made-up lols".

Yes, as a native Russian speaker there isn't a single acronym or word that makes sense to me. But maybe those are Yandex's own acronyms. Or maybe they just made some shit up for the journalist.
I'm guessing it stands for Otvet

#19As fantastic as this office is, I'd hate to work in a environment where anybody can freely look over my shoulder at any time. I'll take privacy and a dull office over this any time. We've managed to satisfy this concern ( http://www.mojalbum.com/popcom/popcom-office ) and I'm really happy about our office.
I'm a big fan of bull pen type environments, where it's wide open spaces and everyone is together with no walls between.
If you have that, and also offer a few "quiet rooms" where you can go if things are loud or you need to check your personal email, I don't see what the problem is.
