Summary/Abstract: Sinonima Slavyenorosskaya is an anonymous relic of West Ruthenian lexicography published in 1889 by an Ukrainian philologist Pavel Zityetzki who dated it to the end of the 17th century. The dictionary is an inverted version of P. Berynda’s Tezaurus of 1627, which means that the Russian language filled with Polonisms was the original language of the source. The role of metalanguage here was performed by the Church Slavonic language. The article discusses the features of lexicographic relic, the elements of its macro- and microstructures, dependence on a prototype as well as characteristics of the Belarusian language and types of influence from Polish.
