Ozhegov is one of the most well-known, authoritative, and beloved dictionaries. This edition includes about 100,000 words, scientific terms,... dialectal words, and archaisms, as well as stable phraseological combinations. The dictionary contains vocabulary actively used in various spheres of the Russian language. A dictionary entry includes the interpretation of a word, examples of its usage in speech, reveals its phraseological and word-formation possibilities; it indicates stress and, in difficult cases, pronunciation, and provides stylistic characteristics. New dictionary entries are distributed throughout the text and highlighted with a special typographic sign (?). The single-volume dictionary also serves as a guide to the correct spelling of words in modern Russian literary language. The hardcover with bronze embossing is pleasant to the touch thanks to the relief elements. The dictionary can be purchased not only for one's collection but also as a gift for dear and close people.
