This dictionary contains 2,375 Russian sayings and proverbs and
their English counterparts. Variants of each saying are included,
and careful attention is given to the differences in British and
American versions. For example, the Russian saying that is
interpreted as ""Children behave in a childish way, and they cannot
be expected to act like grown-up people,"" is first given in
Russian (in the Cyrillic alphabet) and then in English, and is then
followed by the nearest English-language equivalent sayings in
Britain and the United States: ""Young colts will canter""
(British) and ""Boys will be boys"" (American).The proverbs and
sayings are arranged alphabetically by the first Russian word (in
the Cyrillic alphabet) and are cross-referenced so the reader can
find analogous Russian versions of English sayings. There is a
keyword index for each language (one in English, one in Russian in
the Cyrillic alphabet), which allows the reader to find a proverb
or a saying without knowing the first word. Proverbs and sayings
are current and include those popular in both spoken Russian and
literature. The prefatory matter is in both English and Russian,
for readers who have a command of either language.
