EDITOR's NOTE. While at Cambridge, the young Nabokov, fearing to lose his
Russian, found and bought Vladimir Dahl's four-volume Russian dictionary
(SM, XIV, 4). He vowed to read and take notes on ten pages a day.
Dahl's dictionary is a treasure trove containing not only the
literary vocabulary but thousands of dialectical words and proverbs. I have
found my circa 1910 copy invaluable over the years. Although the
dictionary has been reprinted, the advantages of having it on CD-ROM are
considerable. Hence, I pass on the item below.
Do note that is a monolingual Russian dictionary.
