This article analyzes the formation and development of Russian-Uzbek translation dictionaries throughout the 20th century from a philological perspective. The main objective of this study is to comparatively analyze the changes in the semantic structure of a dictionary entry during the development of Russian-Uzbek dictionaries. The study examines the semantic structure of the dictionary entry, the system of translation equivalents, and the methods of expressing polysemy, based on the comparative-philological method. Utilizing materials from general Russian-Uzbek dictionaries published from the second quarter of the 20th century to the present, an attempt is made to identify the evolution of the semantic structure of the dictionary entry and determine its regularities.
