Description
Contained in this dictionary are approximately 40,000 entries followed by their pronunciation, including stress, Russian expansions and
English equivalents. Also presented are shortcuts related to virtually every aspect of urban and country life in the USSR with special
emphasis on industrial and military terminology. The dictionary is preceded by an Outline of Russian Abbreviology, and followed by various
tables and references to units used in the Soviet Union versus USA. As it is a most comprehensive collection of Soviet shortcuts it should
become a very helpful device in decoding Russian acronyms and other abbreviations with their Russian and/or English expansions.
The
dictionary is intended to provide valuable information and exact orientation to readers and listeners of Russian who may or may not know
English, helping the novice as well as the experienced user alike. As to the English-speaking specialist, teacher, or tourist exposed
to Russian, its benefit will increase substantially.
