Hello everyone!
My French friend is taking Russian in school and he wants to buy a good dictionary where the words are explained in Russian. I used to use the dictionaries by Ozhegov and Dal', but he needs something in a smaller format, about 15,000 words. I myself used le Robert Micro as a complementary source for my elementary french textbook, so I think something like this but in Russian would work just fine. Could you please recommend me any good dictionary? Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks, but unfortunately, this is not what he is looking for. First, his native language is French, and as I as said, he needs a dictionary where definitions are in Russian (толковый словарь).
