She is an author-compiler, an editorial board member, an executive editor, and, together with Nguyen Tuyet Minh, a foreword author of a two-volume New Comprehensive Vietnamese-Russian dictionary published in 2012.
Valentina Andreeva is currently working on a Vietnamese-Russian idiom dictionary with cultural notes.
Her research interests are: bilingual lexicography, lexicology, the Vietnamese language, phraseography, phraseology, linguistic and culture studies.
