Summary

When The Oxford Russian-English Dictionary first appeared in 1993, it was praised by the Times Educational Supplement as essential for the bookshelf of every Russian specialist and was chosen as one of the outstanding reference books of the year by Choice . It was in fact the first truly comprehensive, up-to-the-minute Russian-English dictionary to be published in either Russia or the West. Now comes The Concise Oxford Russian Dictionary , which captures the reliability and scope of its acclaimed parent, in a more compact and affordable volume. It will quickly become a standard bilingual reference for both students of Russian and native Russian speakers, as well as specialists, translators, travelers and international business executives. Featuring over 120,000 words and phrases, with 190,000 translations, The Concise Oxford Russian Dictionary is the first Russian dictionary of its scope to offer the transcription into the International Phonetic Alphabet of every English headword, an indispensable pronunciation guide for native speakers of Russian. Unsurpassed in convenience or in wide ranging, reliable coverage, The Concise Oxford Russian Dictionary is the most authoritative reference available of its size.
