recession (from), abandoned intent, etc. Explanation: You may simply place "...changed their mind", or "ceased activity on fulfillment", or "abandoned the project", or even "discontinue activities related to", "went out from...", "ceased operations", "ceased research wroks", "stopped (ceased) project execution (fulfillment)", "interruption of project completion", etc. The noun here would seemingly be not so useful as verbs may:-) The idea is clear: to say "no" but with largest possible smile:-))))) Yours, Tagir. Please look at the sites like www.polit.ru, www.gazeta.ru, www.lenta.ru (they seemingly have Englihs version) or at a site like Moscow News (their translators are possibly the best in Russia). above + lingvo |
