The Leksikon vokabulam novym po alfavitu (Russian: Лексикон вокабулам новым по алфавиту) is a Russian dictionary of foreign words written (but not published) during Peter the Great's reign, possibly ordered by him.
It is now attributed to Fedor Polikarpov-Orlov and dated to 1715,[1] with its compilation connected to a historical treaty by the same author.
It consists of 503 foreign words that should be settled in the Russian vocabulary.
The types of word vary from art of war (e.g. армея armeya 'army', авангардиа avangardia 'vanguard') to everyday words (e.g. интерес interes 'interest', люстра lyustra 'chandelier', пардон pardon 'sorry').
