Excellent resource
Actually, Oxford is one of the best Russian-English/English-Russian dictionaries available. NO dictionary is going to have separate entries for different declensions or conjugations of a word--you must always know the standard form (for adjectives--masculine gender, subjective case; for nouns--subjective case; for verbs--infinitive form).

THIS BOOK IS THE NEXT THING TO USELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My fiancee lives in Kharkov, Ukraine. She has tried to send me Email messages in Russian. When I try to translate them, less than 2% of the words she sends me can be found in this (dictionary????) It does not show feminine references or different usages of words unless you know the root word. In my opinion this book would not even make good toilet paper!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, Oxford is one of the best Russian-English/English-Russian dictionaries available. NO dictionary is going to have separate entries for different declensions or conjugations of a word--you must always know the standard form (for adjectives--masculine gender, subjective case; for nouns--subjective case; for verbs--infinitive form). The Oxford dictionary, in combination with another gold standard, Smirnitsky, got me through life in Russia and a graduate degree in Russian. I can't help wondering if the previous reviewer's fiancee isn't writing at least partially in Ukrainian (since she lives in Ukraine, it would make sense)--in which case a Ukrainian/English dictionary would be most helpful. I'm sorry for that small rant, but I couldn't let the last reviewer's derogatory comments about an EXCELLENT standard reference work go.
