Could anybody offer some synonyms for trouble, or mischief in Russian? I'd like it in Russian, as well as spelled out phonetically if possible, as I haven't really learned any russian at all.

Thanks!

Depending on the degree of committed harm:
If he/she is doing pretty bad mischief, He/she "hooligAnit" - something from making graffiti up to criminal actions. The person who does it is "hooligAn/hooligAnka". And the action itself is "hooliganstvo".

If he/she "prokAznichaet" - usually this means kids doing something like hanging toilet paper on the trees, glue on chair, and so on; "prokAznik" or "ozornIk" - who makes this kind of trouble. Aktion name is "ozorstvO" or "prokAza"

I wanted to say "... of caused harm."
