Acronym

====Russian====
Acronyms that use parts of words (not necessarily syllables) are commonplace in Russian as well, e.g. {{lang|ru|Газпром}} ({{lang|ru-Latn|[[Gazprom]]}}), for {{lang|ru|Газовая промышленность}} ({{transliteration|ru|Gazovaya promyshlennost}}, 'gas industry'). There are also initialisms, such as {{lang|ru|СМИ}} ('SMI', for {{lang|ru|средства массовой информации}} {{transliteration|ru|sredstva massovoy informatsii}}, 'means of mass informing'; {{lang|ru|ГУЛаг}} ({{lang|ru-Latn|[[GULag]]}}) combines two initials and three letters of the final word: it stands for {{lang|ru|Главное управление лагерей}} ({{transliteration|ru|Glavnoe upravlenie lagerey}}, 'Chief Administration of Camps').

Historically, ''[[OTMA]]'' was an acronym sometimes used by the daughters of [[Emperor]] [[Nicholas II of Russia]] and his consort, [[Alexandra Feodorovna (Alix of Hesse)|Alexandra Feodorovna]], as a group nickname for themselves, built from the first letter of each girl's name in the order of their births: Olga, Tatiana, Maria, and Anastasia.
