Russian term or phrase: Арендованные основные средства, в том числе по лизингу
лизинг appears to be a subset of арендованные основные средства. But what's the difference?
John Hershey
Leased fixed assets including fixed assets under long-term (capital, financial) leasing contracts
Explanation:
This is the difference you mention.

In Russian accounting & legal system (so comments by alex11 are extremely useful here) "лизинг" is used in roughly the meaning of capital, financial or long-term lease in the GAAP/IFRS context - i.e. to differentiate it from "operating" leases.

In straightforward terms: operating lease is when you take a thing, use it for a short period, return it and pay some money for the usage of it. The thing is, was and will be owned by the lessor.

financial (capital, long-term) lease is just another name for a purchase. For various reasons (working capital; balance sheet ratios; taxes - especially true in Russia) company will buy an asset - and hide it on somebody else's balance sheet while using the asset and making payments that are de-facto installment payments of the price of the asset - but de-jure are just "financial lease payments".

Exciting stuff, lease accounting!

:-)

Operating leases are expensed, capital leases are capitalized. You do not want me to go further down than that - suffice is to say that my years of experience in finance in Russia (plus my US accounting certification) seem to bear me out on this.

Good luck!

INTERMEDIATE CONSUMPTION (P.2)

3.69. Definition: Intermediate consumption consists of the value of the goods and services consumed as inputs by a process of production, excluding fixed assets whose consumption is recorded as consumption of fixed capital.

agree  alex11: And I disagree with fixed asset. It must be a different word, but I can't come up with correct one as of the moment. In Ru Aeroflot - it was obviously translated previously by good Ru translators but not Eng native speaking ones.THX! YES! CAPITAL ASSETS

agree  Peter Shortall: Maybe it could be avoided like this: "rented fixed/capital assets, including those leased".
