"podel'shchik" is some kind of partner (often in some illigal deed, as
theft). "Podelit" means share, "podelat" means do.

It is difficult to find even example for "zadannost". I didn't see it
in any dictionary, and it is far from been common. But as native
Russian speaker I would define "zadannost" as "fact that some condition
already exists".
For example "zadannost eksperimentalnih dannih" means that
"experimental data were collected and you have to take it in
consideration".
