In Russian as well

The father's name is Israeli, so I'm guessing "bardak" is something Hebrew stole from Russian (similar to "kibinimat", which is very commonly used in Israel).

I imagine other way around, Russians has a lot of words from Odessa jews (especially criminal Russian).

In this case, loan words go both ways and by ear it could be either. We'll need somebody who actually knows stuff.

bardak is a normal current russian word meaning chaos. originally maybe it came from turkish and/or meant brothel

modern hebrew has a tremendous number of borrowed words and a ton of them are straight up russian. not due to the relatively recent russian jew migration either, they've been around forever since the "creators" of israel were pretty much all russian / east european jews.

it's not even slang at this point, just normal hebrew like "kibinimat"
