As a Russian student in University, this was one of my constant companions. I've never found its equal.

So, obviously you won't be sitting down with this by the fire for an evenings entertainment. And perhaps in a world of smartphones it's obsolete. But I found it indispensable when learning Russian. And when traveling there I carried it with me most of the time (it's big, but for as comprehensive as it is it's not that big).

I like this dictionary for its use of examples. You can look up a word that you don't know at all, and see how it's used in a sentence for pretty much all its meanings. Russian teachers, however, told me it should not be trusted 100% of the time, and maybe be supplememted with the Oxford Russian Dictionary.

This is, by far, the best English to Russian dictionary I've used yet. The examples are straight-forward and easy to understand, and the English is American English!

If you're currently learning Russian, buy this dictionary. It's incredibly helpful to both beginning and advanced learners

This is helpful! I 'read' this book, in so far as a person can read any dictionary. Lol!

Good grammar section which is helpful when you don't know grammar very well (like myself).
