The Dictionary contains the vocabulary of one of the complex and controversial moments in the history of the Russian language (1985-1997). For this purpose, about 5.5 thousand words and expressions were selected from the card index created by the team of authors, numbering about 2 million word usages, reflecting almost all spheres of modern life. The dictionary provides extensive and varied information about the word: interpretation, examples in the form of sayings and quotations, encyclopedic data, stylistic characteristics, word usage features, and, if necessary, etymology; the dictionary entry contains synonyms, antonyms, variants, stable combinations and phraseology; if necessary, the information section provides information about the functioning of the word in the past and its semantic changes. The dictionary is intended for general linguists; those who are professionally connected with the Russian language (writers, journalists, translators, teachers and students), as well as everyone who is interested in the life and fate of the Russian language, both compatriots and foreigners. The dictionary describes dynamic language processes that traditionally remain outside the scope of well-known academic dictionaries, including the latest editions of the Dictionary of the Russian Language by S.I. Ozhegov.
