Abstract: The art and craft of lexicography - oneof the oldest sciences in the world - has been developing and improving for many years. But the computer technologies started to serve lexicography only about 50 years ago. Data creation, manipulation, storage and usage started being carried out on computers. In this situation were strongly involved in the process - they started being created and modified on computers as well as on handheld devices and mobile phones. In this paper we give an overview of electronic lexicography in Russia and describe the technologies of the ABBYY company, which developed the Lingvo electronic dictionary 20 years ago and then started creating a dictionary writing system, an online portal and dictionaries for mobile phones. Through all these years the company has not only developing software products, but also conducting research in linguistics, semantics, syntax and lexicography, practicing at the same time dictionary creation - more than 40 dictionaries were created by ABBYY's lexicographers in collaboration with external compilers. We describe the main features of the ABBYY Lingvo electronic dictionary and the ABBYY Lingvo Content dictionary writing system and show prospects for their future development in mutual interchange between dictionary developing, software making, linguistic research and study of the dictionary users' needs.
