The Granat Encyclopedic Dictionary (Russian: Энциклопедический словарь Гранат, romanized: Entsiklopedicheskiy slovar' Granat) is a Russian encyclopedic dictionary originally published in 58 volumes with one supplement throughout both the Tsarist and Soviet periods. [...] The word Granat refers to the last name of two brothers, Alexander (1861 - 1933) and Ignatiy Granat (1863 - 1941), who commissioned the articles in their Moscow office (Ignatiy Granat was later executed by shooting).[1](English)
