Andrey Anatolyevich Zaliznyak (Russian: Андре́й Анато́льевич Зализня́к; 29 April 1935 – 24 December 2017) was a Russian linguist who specialized in historical linguistics, morphology, accentology, and dialectology. He served as the leading researcher on medieval Novgorod birchbark documents and proved the authenticity of The Tale of Igor's Campaign. His Grammatical Dictionary of the Russian Language (1977) remains the standard reference for Russian inflection and forms the basis for most Russian language processing algorithms.
