                Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov.

Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov was born on November 19th, 1711, in Arkhangelsk province. He was a famous Russian scientist, polymath and a writer, who had greatly contributed into national literature, science and education. He was also the founder of Russian literary language and a talented poet. The spheres of science that he was interested in included chemistry, physics, natural science, history, philology, art and some others. Lomonosov was the first to discover the atmosphere of Venus.

        He was born to a family of a prosperous peasant and fisherman. When he was young he liked fishing with his father. Lomonosov’s mother was a deacon’s daughter. At the age of ten he started accompanying his father in business ventures. However, the boy was keen on studying and getting knowledge than business. He spent every spare minute with books.

         At the age of nineteen Lomonosov decided to go to Moscow on foot because he wanted to study. He entered the Slavic Greek Latin Academy and lived on three kopecks a day, living off only black bread and kvas. However, he made a rapid progress in studies. Soon, he was awarded a scholarship to Saint Petersburg State University, and then he got a two-year grant to study in Germany. Arriving back to Moscow, Lomonosov was made a full member of the Russian Academy of Science and named professor of chemistry. He established the Academy’s first chemistry laboratory. In 1755, wishing to improve Russian education system, Lomonosov together with his patron Count Ivan Shuvalov founded the Moscow State University. Most of his accomplishments were almost unknown outside Russia until long after his death. Lomonosov died in 1765 in Saint-Petersburg. He is still known as the father of Russian science and founder of Moscow State University and then he got a two-year grant to study in Germany.
