Features: "Russian idioms" are fixed phrases frequently used in spoken language, which are holistic and abstract in meaning, equivalent to words. They play an irreplaceable role in rhetoric. They enrich the language and can express profound meanings. Therefore, memorizing idioms is as important as memorizing words. How well one grasps idioms reflects their level of Russian proficiency. In the process of learning and mastering idioms, learners can only achieve a clear and precise understanding and mastery of each Russian idiom's specific meaning through repeated practice with concrete examples, thereby improving their ability to use them. Based on this guiding ideology and practical needs, we have compiled this "Handbook of Russian Idioms." The "Handbook of Russian Idioms" is primarily designed for Russian majors and teachers, as well as for self-learners of Russian as a reference. The book collects nearly a thousand Russian idioms from college textbooks and provides examples for each idiom's definition. Its prominent role is to subtly draw learners' attention to the characteristics of idioms and master their usage through the examples. This indeed helps learners improve and correctly use Russian idioms.
