		The presence of commonly-used proverbs, proverbial expressions and other clichés, which relate to the basic knowledge of everyday Russian-language speakers, raises the issue of the advisability of including such clichés in various kinds of dictionaries intended for the foreign-language reader.
		It seems to us that it is not only theoretically warranted to include the most widely-used Russian expressions in foreign-language dictionaries, but also highly practical: it will help students to handle their study of the Russian language more quickly and successfully.
		We say basic since the proverb sometimes may serve as a verbal model of several related situations, one of which usually is more significant.
