••• FROM THE DEVELOPER •••

"Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language" by Vladimir Ivanovich Dal has served as a fundamental reference for generations of enthusiasts and scholars of the Russian language.

This application transcends being simply a dictionary; it represents a cultural project that continues the legacy of a devoted linguist dedicated to unearthing the rich, intricate gems of our expressive language throughout his life.

I envision a vibrant cultural phenomenon at the center of this project—an assembly of Russian language aficionados who share their discoveries, compile lists of rare and extinct words, and collaboratively explore dialects and linguistic phenomena such as the Ofen dialect.

Your feedback is invaluable, and I welcome your suggestions for improvement—there is a dedicated button within the application for your convenience. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!

If you encounter any spelling or grammatical errors in the text, please inform me immediately. Corrections will be made in the next release!
