An idiom is considered here to be "a nonfree combination of two or more words that acts as a semantic whole. In most cases, the meaning of an idiom cannot be predicted from the meanings of its components," for example, "to lose one's head."
The accompanying English phrases are intended to cover "all possible contexts in which the given idiom can occur and to offer...a complete picture of the semantic range of the idiom." Most entries are illustrated by quotations from Russian or Soviet literature, and each such citation is accompanied by a published translation, which is based on American usage.
