These CSV files contain the dictionary data from the dictionary website https://en.openrussian.org. The origin are various sources including Wiktionary and lots of corrections and additions by users.
The data is far from perfect but also not completely rubbish. There might be some artefacts and a bit of dirtyness like an asterisk or slash where it shouldn't be. If you have any improvements, please try to make them on the website directly and if not possible or if there are structural deficits please open an issue.
You can use the data quite freely, see the LICENSE file (Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0).
On the website you can download a snapshot of the actual database at https://en.openrussian.org/dictionary. However, those are not as accessible and have a complex format in parts. Thus these CSVs. The snapshots here are automated by hand so if you need a very recent one please open an issue and I will do the export.
