This is the 3970th most frequent Russian word.
здунов
The word "здунов" does not have a direct definition in Russian; it might be a proper noun (a surname) or a misspelling.
In this sentence, the word "Здунов" is used as a proper noun, presumably a surname or a name. It denotes a person who is being described as sitting by the river. In Russian, surnames often appear in contexts that describe actions or situations involving the individual.
Здунов сидел у реки, ожидая вечернего заката.
Zhdunov sat by the river, waiting for the evening sunset.
Here, "Здунов" again functions as a proper noun. The sentence highlights his action (reading a book) during a shared experience (waiting for a bus), providing a glimpse into the character or habits of the individual.
Среди всех, кто ждал автобус, был Здунов, и он прочитал целую книгу.
Among everyone waiting for the bus was Zhdunov, and he read an entire book.
In this case, "Здунова" is used in the genitive case, indicating that the book is about the life of Zhdunov. This showcases Russian's use of cases to provide specific information about relationships and context.
