This is a remarkably handy Russian dictionary, containing a surprising amount of information, including over 70,000 entries.

Based on American rather than British English, this is among the first Russian dictionaries revised for the post-Soviet era. Includes new political terminology, new Russian institutions, new countries and republics and new city names. Contains 26,000 entries in the English-Russian section and 40,000 words in the Russian-English section. Irregularities in Russian declensions and conjugations appear at the beginning of each entry.

First published in 1981. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Entries in the main section, alphabetical in Russian, include a transliteration of the Russian word, the English translation, and when appropriate, clarifying phrases, synonyms, different definitions, and usage hints. The English-Russian section is nearly as thorough as the main section. Other sections include abbreviations, mathematical expressions, and typical phrases (for example "to be decreased substantially.") Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
