About the benefits and place of dictionaries in everyone’s life cultured person and the people in general have said a lot. Unfortunately, what is said does not always reach the consciousness, even if it is bright and figurative, such as these words of M. Voloshin: “We must love dictionaries, because they are treasures of the language. Words get tired from use and lose their incantatory power. Then it is necessary to renew the language, take part of the ancient treasures hidden in the recesses of the language, and throw them into literature." The edition preserves the abbreviations of words, although far from current norms, but quite understandable and specified by the author in the last part of the “Advice”; V.I. Dahl’s punctuation was left almost without interference: this is another bridge between the past and the present, like a series outdated forms words - if you bring them to modern standards, the dictionary will cease to be literary monument, will lose what makes it unique in the history of Russian culture: the richness of intonation, the liveliness of the language, the extraordinary plasticity and imagery of living colloquial Russian speech, recorded by V.I. Dahl and carefully conveyed to us. V.I. Dahl's dictionary is not normative. It will not replace modern explanatory, spelling and grammar dictionaries. This is a guide to speaking XIX language centuries, a guide for those who study the language and simply fascinating reading for everyone. The publisher hopes that this is how readers will react to its publication.

Description: Before the reader is the world's first richly illustrated edition of the “Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language” by V.I. Dalia. The modern version includes the brightest and interesting articles, which most fully describe the history, way of life, morals, customs and rituals of the Russian people. The main feature of this publication is color illustrations that create a magnificent visual range (about 1500 illustrations). The reader has the opportunity not only to read Dalev’s interpretations for a long time forgotten words, to know unusual meanings words already known, but also to see them on the canvases of famous Russian artists visual images. To illustrate part of the words, not the whole picture is used, but only its detail. If the title of the painting does not contain the word for which the illustration is given, a reference to this word is given after its title, which helps the reader to connect together the illustrative images and interpretations. The dictionary is addressed to a wide range of readers.

Dictionary of the living Great Russian language by V. I. Dahl is certainly the most famous Russian Dictionary. Before today, despite the existence of predecessor dictionaries, dialectal, diachronic, slang dictionaries, multi-volume modern lexicographic descriptions, from time to time it turns out that the Dalev Dictionary reflects the Russian language more accurately or completely. This is a collection of Russian vocabulary related primarily to dialects and professional jargon, compiled by a self-taught amateur who repeatedly called for writing as we speak, not preaching literacy as salvation, not making any sacrifices for its universal establishment (St. Petersburg Gazette, 1857, $ 245), who advocated for the complete ridding of the Russian language from foreign language borrowings. The dictionary contains a certain amount of unreliable material (occasional words), sometimes sins against grammar (for example, a prefix is regularly called a preposition), but paradoxically accurately conveys both the linguistic realities of the 19th century and the expressiveness of still existing dialects.
In its book version, Dahl's Dictionary becomes a kind of monument with violations of the norms of the modern compiler of the Russian language, increasingly moving away from our contemporaries, despite the colossal number of republications. All reprints were carried out by reprint method, which preserved not only the publishers’ errors and typesetters’ typos, but also difficulties in deciphering the word search mechanism laid down by the author.
In preparing this re-edition, we decided to adapt the Dalev Dictionary, based, in particular, on the fact that it is unlikely that each of us will be able to type a word to search not only in the old, pre-reform graphics, but also in the specific spelling of V. I. Dal . The proposed republication is based on the 2nd edition (1880-1882) and does not preserve the graphical and part of the spelling features of the publication. In our attempt to bring the text closer to modern standards, we respected the fundamental requirements of the author. Characteristic spellings dialect words, the author's style and punctuation are left unchanged. In particular, by allowing yourself to rearrange the dictionary entries in order modern alphabet, we preserve the spelling and, accordingly, the place of some vocabulary units, even if this contradicts modern norms in the case when V.I. Dal tried to show with such a recording the sound or origin of the word being explained. Nearby, in angle brackets, we placed the same word in its current form, for example. sheromyzhnik. By the way, this, it seems to us, makes it possible not to check yourself every time spelling dictionary, if you are not sure about the spelling.
The release of V. Dahl's Dictionary in modern Russian orthography will allow us to overcome the well-known psychological barrier (especially among the younger generation) that prevents its inclusion in today's practice. The presence of a search engine turns V. Dahl's Dictionary into inexhaustible source quotes figurative expressions, proverb.
