There isn't a GOOD dictionary, but there are a few useful books:
_Minimalni rec^nik srpskohrvatskog jezika. Srpskohrvatsko-rusinski._ Jovan
Jerkovic' and Radovan Perinac, eds. Novi Sad: Zavod za izdavanje udz^benika,
1981.
Mikola M. Koc^is^. _Pravopis ruskoho jazika: s^kolske vidanje._ [h = Cyrillic
g; je = Ukrainian letter curved E.] Novi Sad: Pokrajinski zavod za izdavanje
udz^benika, 1971.
Mikola M. Koc^is^. _Gramatika ruskoho jazika I: fonetika, morfologija,
leksika._ [g = Cyrillic g with an extra upwards stroke in the upper right
corner, as in older Ukrainian.] Druhe vidanje. Novi Sad: Pokrajinski zavod za
izdavanje udz^benika, 1977.
Good luck!
