Russian Dictionary: Russian-English, English-Russian

This compact and up-to-date dictionary provides a comprehensive and modern vocabulary for general purposes. The dictionary has some 25,000 entries in each of its two sections, and a supplement of new words has been added to the present edition to reflect some of the patterns of change in the modern Russian lexicon. In addition, the Russian-English section gives you some grammar information, and irregularities of declension, conjugation and stress are shown. By using both sections together for cross- reference you will find the guidance you need in usage and grammar. Finally, the Russian-English section includes many words which are now no longer, or rarely, used but which are essential to the reader of nineteenth-century classical Russian literature. William Harrison is Professor of Russian at the University of Durham, and Svetlana le Fleming is Senior Lecturer in Russian at Newcastle Polytechnic.
