The Leksikon vokabulam novym po alfavitu (Russian: Лексикон вокабулам новым по алфабиту) is a Russian dictionary of foreign words in published during Peter the Great's age, possibly ordered by him. It is an example of borrowing words deliberately. It consists of 503 foreign words that should be settled in the Russian vocabulary. Most of words have now their space in the Russian language. Every foreign word had its own definition in Russian. The types of words varies from art of war (армея, авангардиа...) to everyday words (интерес, люстра, пардон...). The dictionary appears to have been edited by Peter himself.
