Summary/Abstract: The article intends to present a comprehensive survey of the development of phraseology in Russian and other Slavonic languages. Unfortunately, most of the dictionaries of neologisms do not contain phraseology. On the one hand, we observe a lack of reliable reference works and dictionaries of phraseological neologisms, reflecting the active development of phraseology in contemporary Slavonic languages. On the other hand we observe the intensive research in this field because phraseology plays an important role in the development of those languages. It is intended to analyze the interaction between phraseological structures and further idiomatic units, for example proverbs and winged words, to try to compile comprehensive dictionaries, which illustrate the rapid development of Slavonic phraseological systems. Emphasizing the inadequacy of historical end etymological research of Russian and Slavonic phraseology, the author lines out possibilities for further research by regarding the results of synchronic and diachronic analysis of phraseology and proposes a comprehensive bibliography of reference works on the topic of phraseology in Slavonic languages.
