Formation of the Ukrainian standard language occurs in a fairly dense connection with the Russian language. For this reason, political and ideological differences are also reflected in dictionaries. We found 15 dictionaries (1917-18), which contain the lexeme "Moscowscyi" in the title, which at that time acquired the meaning "Russian".
