The site was created as a result of combining projects opened in 2001 : Yandex. Lingvo [3] and Yandex. Encyclopedias [1] [2] [4] [5] . The digitization program began in 2006 and ended in 2010 .
On June 24, 2010, Yandex launched an affiliate program [6] for encyclopedic sites. Service partner sites were added to a specialized search index. Search results for Yandex. Dictionaries were led to articles of previously digitized publications and to partner sites.
In addition to encyclopedic answers, the Yandex service. Dictionaries, together with ABBYY Lingvo , provided the ability to translate words from Russian into English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Ukrainian, Kazakh and Latin, and from these languages into Russian. At the service, one could listen to how words in foreign languages performed by native speakers sound.
The reason for the termination of the service, as reported, was the difficulty in its development in the field of use on mobile devices, associated with restrictions established in licensing agreements with copyright holders of content [7] . After the service was closed, Yandex offered users the following sites as an alternative [8] :
- Yandex translator
- Lingvo live
- Multitran
- Wikipedia
- Academic.ru
- Gramota.ru
