1: Mom loves that it is american english/Russian
Bought for mom and she loves it! Helpful that it is American English as most (or all????) others happen to be British English. My mom speaks Russian fluently-grew up in Poland during communism--so I suspect that she knows a good Russian dictionary when she sees one!

2: Very Solid Dictionary
The best Russian-English resource I have found outside of having an actual interpreter. The book is easy to navigate, does not dumb-down while providing adequate examples and phraseology to illustrate the usage of each term with a focus on high-use words. The Russian-English equivalent to the outstanding Kodansha Japanese-English Furigana dictionary.

3: For Americans
Even though we say we speak english, typical "english" dictionaries use british definitions. If you're from America, you speak American english and this is the only book on the market that clearly uses American-to-Russian and vica-versa definitions for words as well as idioms and phrases. I lived in Russia for a few years and out of every book I studied out of, this was one of the most helpful ones.

4: A must have!
This is a great - an indispensable - reference for anyone learning Russian and for advanced speakers too. Advanced speakers would have other reference books also, but I'm sure that this dictionary cannot be outgrown. The layout is excellent with declensions for adjectives, conjugation hints, and imperfective/perfective shown for verbs. A great help for serious students.

5: Best Russian-English dictionary I have ever used
This is by far the best dictionary we have ever found. We have used at least a dozen different dictionaries. My wife teaches Russian langauage to American born children and a good dictionary is very important.
