Dictionaries

[Thomas Keenan]

I would say the dictionary you're looking for would be Vladimir Dal'-'s
(4 volumes)

Quoting Alexei Bogdanov <Alexei.Bogdanov at COLORADO.EDU>:

> Dear All,
>
> Here is a message from a friend; I'm sure that many of you will
> have
> good suggestions.  I would specifically address those of you who
> have
> translated Russian poetry into English.
>
> "I'd like to expand my collection of Russian-English,
> English-Russian,
> Russian-Russian dictionaries and I would be grateful for your
> advice.
> As far as books available in the U. S., everyone seems to think the
> book I already have is the best there is.  I went to a U. S. web
> site
> that imports from Russia and found a possible candidate for an
> English-Russian dictionary:
>
> http://www.russianbuy.com/product_info.php?item=9035
>
> For a Russian-English dictionary, I'd like something that covers
> obsolete words dating back to Pushkin.  That's probably not
> possible,
> so we're into Russian-Russian dictionaries.  The one I have (circa
> 1950's) has been somewhat helpful in helping me track down words
> that don't appear in my regular dictionary (or online), but
> I'd like something even more comprehensive, like the Russian
> equivalent
> of the Oxford English dictionary.  I don't mind ordering directly
> from
> Russia if you can point me to a reputable site.  Also, perhaps you
> know of an online Russian-Russian dictionary that includes obsolete
> words."
>
> Thanks in advance,
> Alexei
