Splendid

I like it very much. It's got the most important Russian words, so I can use it to learn vocabulary. Great !

more than just a dictionary, more than just a grammar...

This dictionary is more that merely a dictionary with a grammar supplement in the back: The dictionary is highly integrated with the grammar tables, so that you can conjugate EACH verb, and decline EACH noun in all forms, all tenses, etc. Even Perfective and imperfective verbs are matched. I went through 4 semesters of college Russian with this dictionary, while all the other students follows the instructor's recommendation to buy the Oxford... I had a much easier time!If you live in a foreign country, your bookstore might carry only the hardcover pocket edition, but don't compromise -- get this edition.These days I use a Russian dictionary on my PC. It has a larger vocabulary and it's easier to search. But I STILL carry the Langenscheidt pocket dictionary around because of the grammar section.

The Most Convenient Dictionary

This is the best pocket dictionary I could recommend. The dictionary provides RELIABLE translations from both English and Russian languages. Overwhelming majority of non-professional words may be found in the dictionary in spite of its size.

Best Pocket Dictionary Available

While living in Russia for two years I found this dictionary invaluable for conversing in Russian. Besides a lot of words, it has multiple grammar helps in the back - including noun declinsion patterns, verb conjugations and lots of other useful information. I have used 4 or 5 other pocket dictionaries - but through use, this is definately the best around.

My dictionary of choice

If you need a smaller-size English-Russian/Russian-English dictionary-- i.e. not for desk reference-- this is the one I recommend, as it's sturdy and has a rich vocabulary which most dictionaries of its size do not possess.
