This expanded and updated reference book lists approximately 5,100 Russian idiomatic words and expressions with their translations into English. Included are figures of speech, slang, and vulgarisms, many of which cannot be found in standard Russian-English dictionaries. Here are valuable insights on how Russian is really spoken today. Each entry comes with an example sentence in Russian and its English translation.
