Russian Oxford Dictionary?

Question

I've been wanting to buy a big Russian dictionary, however I can't decide upon which one to get. I'm thinking about either the Oxford Russian Dictionary, or the Concise Oxford Russian Dictionary. Which one do you recommend? Do you recommend either of them? Have any other suggestions about a different Russian Dictionary I should check out? Thanks!

Answer 1

I have the Oxford Russian dictionary and I
really like it. If you buy the concise one you
will get far fewer words.
I also have a very old dictionary by Smirnitsky
that is also very good for unusual words.
