This Dover edition, first published in 1967, is an unabridged and unaltered republication of the work originally published by Progress Publishers, Moscow, under the title Essential Russian-English Dictionary. International Standard Book Number: 0-486-21860-0 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 67-28632 Manufactured in the United States of America Dover Publications, Inc. 180 Varick Street New York, N.Y. 10014 FOREWORD This book is intended for students studying Russian with or without a teacher (in study groups, at courses, etc.) outside Russian linguistic milieu. It is a dictionary, i.e., besides lists of the commonest Russian words (vocabulary) with English translations, it gives grammatical characteristics of the words and illustrative material, explaining not only the meanings of the words but their uses as well. The illustrative material consists of phrases and sentences showing the meanings of the words, and brief contexts, which are traditional, ordinary, semantically stable or, in any case, very commonly used, e.g. jik>6ob& k po~ #HHe love for one's country, cêJiaTb bhbo# to draw a conclusion, coBepmnTb no- CTynoK to perform an action, KaK sac 30ByT? What is your name?, Mli ono3#a- jih k naâjiy cneKTanjiH We were late for the performance, etc. A number of words are followed by the sign <>, after which phrases, proverbs or figurative expressions containing these words are given, e.g. Jlter Kan H3 Be/jpa It is raining cats and dogs, Bcero xoponiero All the best, Ym xopomo, a ftBa jiynme Two heads are better than one, etc. The vocabulary comprises some 3,000 of the commonest Russian words. At the end of the Dictionary, thematic word lists are supplied, which widen the scope of the vocabulary. It is hoped that the study of the lexico-grammatical material of the Dic- tionary will provide the necessary foundation .for conversation on various everyday subjects and reading of modern Russian fiction and periodicals without consulting a Russian-English dictionary too often. Every article in this Dictionary includes the word under consideration in its initial form and defines it grammatically (either stating what part of speech it is or giving its forms). If a word has several meanings, only the commonest of these are given, each under a separate figure. Homonyms are entered as separate words marked 1, 2, 3, etc. Derivatives are not generally given in the same article as their root words but as caption words, since the Dictionary is based on an exact word count. The part of speech is indicated only in the case of adverbs, numerals, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions and particles. Nouns, verbs and adjectives have no such labels, as their grammatical characteristics given in the article define them clearly enough. Nouns are entered in the nominative singular, their gender and the peculiarities in the formation of the case forms, if any, are indicated. In the case of an unstable vowel, the genitive singular (e.g. Konlen, gen. -na, end) or genitive plural (e.g. naji|Ka, gen. pi. -ok, stick; okho, gen. pi. okoh, window) is supplied. The paradigms of nouns declined irregularly are given in full. Indeclinable nouns are marked indecl. All those forms of nouns in which there is a stress shift are given, e.g. boa3» acc. boAy » water; ctoji, gen. CTOJia, pi. ctojibi, table; etc. Adjectives are entered in the masculine; the feminine, neuter _ and plural endings following the initial form. The comparative is given only if there are 4 irregularities in its formation (interchange of sounds, suppletion). Short form adjectives are given in the same article as the long form ones. Personal pronouns are followed by their declension paradigms. Possessive and demonstrative pronouns are given in the masculine singular, followed by the feminine, neuter and plural forms. Verbs are entered in the infinitive, followed by the 1st and 2nd persons singular and the 3rd person plural. Cases where a verb form is not used are specially marked, e.g. npOAOJmtaTLca to continue, 1st & 2nd pers. not used; no- 6ejiHTB to win, 1st pers. sing, not used, etc. The peculiarities in the formation of the past and the imperative are given. The past is supplied only if it is formed irregularly or if its formation is accompanied by a shift of stress (Be3TH to carry — Be3, Be3Jia; b3htb to take — bshji, B3flJia). Irregular formations of the imperative are also supplied, e.g. 6htb to beat — Sen. Aspects of verbs are given in the following manner. In the case of perfective verbs only the infinitive is given, w7 ith reference to the imperfective for meaning. Articles containing imperfective forms also include the perfective forms and illustrative examples explaining both forms. After the imperfective forms questions are supplied helping to determine the government of the verb under consideration and of its perfective counter- part in each of their meanings. If a verb has a different government in one of its meanings, the questions are given for that particular meaning. When a verb is used only in one aspect in one of its meanings, this is always indicated, as well as the cases where the verb has one perfective coun- terpart in one meaning and a different one in another. Questions helping to determine the government of a word are also given after certain nouns, adverbs and adjectives. Assuming that the student will work at the Dictionary simultaneously with studying grammar, forms different from their initial forms are not entered as separate words, e.g. meji (from ii^th to go), Bbime (from bbicokhh high), MHe (from a I), etc. All such forms can be found in the articles on the initial forms. Exceptions are suppletive forms which are beginning to be used as independent words with a specific meaning (e.g. jnoftn people, jiy^me better, etc.). In such cases the suppletive forms are entered with reference to their principal forms. Participles and verbal adverbs are not entered at all. In the Supplement, the words are grouped thematically. In the section Names of Nationalities, the head words are the nouns de- noting nationality in the masculine and feminine singular and in the plural. These are followed by the names of the countries and the corresponding adjectives, e.g. KeHKa Frenchwoman; $paHn;y3i>i the French, OpaHUHH France; $paHn.y3CKHu French. Forms which have not yet become quite stable are not given. Stress is indicated throughout the Dictionary. The primary stress is marked ['], the secondary p ]. All the words without independent stress should be merged in pronunciation with the principal word, as t&k >Ke, na ctoji, ne 6 bin, He cxaji, etc. In some cases the pronunciation is given in square brackets.
