Using Russian Synonyms

Yeah, you want to find a substitute word for some word that you have used in every paper since you started studying Russin. It's getting boring. However, you have to remember that if you need another word, it had better be the right one or you can look like a symashedshii/aya chelovek and you'll NEVER live that one down. This book is excellent in getting the right word and, so many times, has lead me on a trip through vocabulary land because this "other" meaning has caught my eye and I just "have" to go and look that one up and then another and another. You can fill hours with this book and feel refreshed and KNOW that you have the "perfect" word to make your own Russian sizzle on the barbie.
