Russian term or phrase: Chyort
Well, it's still the English video game, separate text string: "Chyort! I have to reload!" Is this again a curse? Or is it maybe this time a name? (BTW, I hope it is not offensive - but I really don't have a clue ...).

Verdammt! Zum Teufel!


Explanation:
... und noch ein eigener Vorschlag.

"Teufel" ist natürlich völlig in Ordnung. Aber als Fluch sind Wendungen "Verdammt!" oder "Zum Teufel!" dann doch gebräuchlicher. Vielleicht sogar eher ersteres, denn ich glaube, die Affinität der Deutschen zum Teufel ist geringer als die der Russen.

Explanation:
Es geht nicht um Teufel, sondern um (wie bei Zaraza auch) eine Ausrufung, die man macht, wenn etwas falsch läuft.
