## Description

The Russian Hunspell Dictionary is a continuously evolving resource, originally based on the renowned lexicographic work of Professor Alexander Lebedev. Maintained and enhanced by Alexander Klyukvin since 2010, it offers reliable text checking for Russian, integrating seamlessly with editors like Fictionbook Editor.

This dictionary is updated monthly, typically on the first day, ensuring a growing lexicon with revised affix files that adapt and improve its language processing capabilities. While it retains the general organizational principles of Lebedev's system, the dictionary is progressively restructured to become uniquely tailored and incompatible with the original. It focuses on generating all possible word forms from the root word, though it does not aim for a complete paradigm listing every grammatical variation.
