If there are people who are interested in Russian and Swedish here, you might be aware that a new Russian/Swedish and Swedish/Russian dictionary from Norstedts is available now. It was compiled at Uppsala, and it's 141,000 words. It's available everywhere in Sweden, at ca. 500 SEK (50 euros), if you buy it at an ordinary shop.
I have at last bought one, and I'm not particularly impressed as it the same words that are not present in Norstedts English Dictionary (152,000) are not present here as well (for example, names of birds, etc.) So, you have to look them up elsewhere. But as they say, a bad dictionary is better than no dictionary at all. One thing that is particularly useful is the Swedish transcription of all entries.
