to everyone, to all

Vsem (всем) is the dative of vse (все) meaning everyone,
You'll find it used e.g. in greetings: Privet vsem (привет всем) = greetings to everyone.
Also used in as a callsign in radio communications when the control station wants to send a message to all in the group (aircraft, police cars, whatever they may be) instead of just to one of them.

Thank you.
agree Judith Hehir : Depending on usage, the preposition "to" may not be necessary. Without context, it's impossible to know.

Thank you. Yes, just having one word with no context makes it difficult.

Please give some context! - This "vsem" could also mean "v sem" i.e. at seven o'clock!

agree beermatt : Very good idea, especially considering atrocious standards of transcription (and spelling in general) unfortunately not a few Russians have on the Web. Although let's assume it's Jack Doughty's suggestion....
