I'm guessing TIGER. T plus I (in english looks like a backwards N) plus гриб (mushroom in english) minus the last two russian letters = тигр = tiger in english

The wikipedia site for the Russian alphabet is very helpful with near English equivalents. Plus the ability to copy and paste each rebus part in Russian onto a notepad or google, then translate to english...hoping it is an actual word LOL.

Very clever GulfCoastGuppy, very clever.

I'm wondering how the final symbols come to mean 'remove the last two letters' -- would that be obvious to Russian speakers?

I think yes it would be obvious but to ALL solvers of difficult rebus puzzles. Simpler ones (in English) would just use the minus sign and a letter or picture to indicate what to drop. The apostrophe is definitely a rule to rebus solving :)

It is always an extra challenge to do a puzzle that is "word" heavy with so many languages represented by the solvers as well as designers of this page. I admit I do not always recognize the puzzle HOWEVER I do find purpose in 1) practice in the simple math required to complete any puzzle and 2) the learning of different culture references. Thank You.
