A. Pushkin said about Lomonosov ,
« Lomonosov was a great man…. He founded the first
Russian university: or to express it more correctly he
himself was our first university».
Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov was born in November, 1711
in a small village Denisovka in the north of Russia, near
Holmogory.
In 11-12 years he started to study reading and writing. In one of
December nights, having taken the things (basically - books),he
has walked in Moscow to study sciences.
In 1730 Lomonosov entered in Slavjano-Greek-Latin Academy
He studied various subjects for six years and became one of the best
students of Academy.
In 1736, Lomonosov was awarded a scholarship to Saint Petersburg State
University. He plunged into his studies and was rewarded with a two-year
grant to study abroad at the University of Marburg, in Germany.
In 1741 Lomonosov returned to Russia.
