The second word is "text" and the third is "auditorium" (actually "auditorii", 
which is the Latin genitive, but I'm not sure what that would be in Russian). 
The first is a prefix meaning "out" plus a verb meaning "says".

Also used for several Turkic languages, several Caucasian languages, some 
Finno-Ugric languages, and some others like Chukchi (which I call "luorvetla" 
in Lojban, after the endonym). If I think something's Russian and it isn't, 
though, it's more likely to be Bulgarian than Russian's close relative 
Ukrainian or Belarusian.
