New R-E/E-R Dictionary

[Frank J Miller]

Both dictionaries are excellent, but the Yermolovich dictionary is  
more up to date. Both contain IT terminology, including  
перезагрузить, but if you look up “download” in the  
Oxford dictionary, you get загружать. Yermolovich gives a more  
complete entry: загрузить, скачать, скачивать  
and скачать. The size of the Yermolovich dictionary (8" x 5")  
makes it more convenient to carry around in a briefcase.

In the introduction to his New Comprehensive Russian-English  
Dictionary (Moscow 2004), Yermolovich has interesting remarks about  
changes in the  Russian lexicon at the beginning of the 21st-Century,  
and a good number of his examples can be found in this dictionary
