Buen Material, buena compra
El producto en si es muy completo, no me acaba de hacer el peso el acabado del lomo del libro... Esta mal enganchado. El resto es impecable! Buena compra...

Concise, clear, and understandable
There must have been a long and in-depth analysis of the subject matter, and an excellent understanding of both languages. The amount of time and effort put into this dictionary must have been considerable and it is definitely worth the cost. I would highly recommend this edition to anyone studying either English or Russian.

FROM BEGINNER TO ADVANCED, YOU NEED THIS DICTIONARY!!
This is such a great product. Do not worry about the time it was created, it still helps me translate new songs, YouTube videos, and the news. In the beginning, there is the case endings for nouns, adjectives, and a list of their exceptions. It teaches you a bit of Russian spelling rules and all you really need to know about verb conjugation (past, present, future. If there is ever a word with irregular case endings or verb conjugation, it will tell you on the specific definition of the word. Each verb will tell you the imperfective and perfective version, so you don't have to search it separately. Most adjectives will tell you if they are the short version or not, or if they are the predicate version. The words have accents on them to signify where the stress will be. Some words, especially prepositions, will have long definitions because they give you so many examples of how they can be used outside of what you would think. If words have a different literary definition/use, it will tell you. Lastly, the very back has the names of all places you can think of, both present and historic. It has the names of countries, of course, but also territories and geographical features such as famous rivers, mountains, seas, cities, etc. There are also the names of famous people. Whether you are A-1 or C-1, this will help you significantly in translating things like old Russian classic literature and learning the basic grammar of the language. Get this book today!!!

The Hefty Russian Dictionary
When I was learning Russian (I have had to stop because my goal was intimately linked to going to that country and due to geo-political circumstances, that is unlikely to be feasible in the forthcoming years), this book was helpful. It is a lovely book. I collect dictionaries from all over the world so have some established opinions about books and dictionaries. This may reflect that I was a very basic learner of Russian when I got this book: I could not find all words, even factoring in the declensions. I sometimes found myself having to go to a Russian declension website. It was weird and I never worked out why it was happening. But the book itself is well bound, excellent pica and font (in fact, it's quite aesthetic).
