Abstract

The author presents a review of the lexicographic textual commentary on the cycle of L. N. Tolstoyʼs “The Sevastopol Sketches”, made on an experimental basis and addressed to the modern reader. The units of commentary are given in thematic systematization: tokens of the sphere “Culture”, household items and attributes of life, “military” terms and words of military everyday life, hippological and accompanying vocabulary, transport nominations, names of clothing pieces, food, drinks and units of measure, vocabulary of gambling, characteristics of people, the scope of their emotions and feelings. In the systemic-semasiological aspect, the words in question belong to three groups: 1) obsolete vocabulary, 2) vocabulary, limited in use, 3) low-frequency vocabulary. The article provides examples of typical comment fragments.
