Thank you for your feedback, Olga. I didn't have time to check it at the time, but contrary to what was indicated in the article, the (now obsolescent?) 1989 edition of Ozhegov (edited by Shvedova) I just checked does indeed have entries for "komp'yuter" and "krossovki." I wonder what edition Mariya Kalenchuk was looking at? ("V slovare Ozhegova vy ne naydete slov 'komp'yuter', 'krossovki'".) I have other editions, both newer and older, of Ozhegov's dictionary at home and I will certainly check them this evening, although I suspect other readers will beat me to it.
