Soviet acronyms

[goscilo]

Officially  (at least, during Soviet times) it was considerably more
terrifying:

>
> Moskovskii Fiziko-Tekhnicheskii Institut
Moskovskii ordena Trudovogo Krasnogo Znameni fiziko-tekhnologicheskii
institut

> Moskovskii Khimiko-Tekhnologicheskii Institut
Moskovskii ordena Lenina i ordena Trudovogo Krasnogo Znameni
khimiko-tekhnologicheskii institut
imeni D.I. Mendeleeva.

Great for indicating one's professional affiliation on vizitki!
