Russian collocation dictionary

[ruby j jones]

    There is always Denisov's 1978 "Uchebnyj slovar' sochetaemosti slov
russkogo jazyka", published by Russkij Jazyk.  I haven't seen a newer
edition of this one, although I've been looking.  It's main shortcoming (and
strength) is that it is 'uchebnyj': the content (@2500 entries) is almost
all core vocabulary.
    For contemporary sources, I was impressed by  S. A. Kuznetsov's
"Sovremennyj tolkovyj slovar' russkogo jazyka", 2003, published by Norint,
St-P.  It has more idioms and collocations than Ozhegov,  is not as good (in
my opinion) as Denisov's, but is more up-to-date.
