The main building of Moscow State University was designed by an architect Lev Rudnev. This is one of the symbols of Russian education. The construction of the building started in May, 1949 on the right bank of the Moskva river and it finished in 1953. It was the seventh tallest building in the world then. The skyscraper is 236 metres high and it has 36 floors. Its walls consist of 175 million bricks. The star on top of the building’s spire weighs 12 tons. The top floors are decorated with statues and monuments.

There are 111 unique lifts in the skyscraper. They are super fast cabins for tall structures. You can visit the Scientific library or the Museum of Earth Sciences on the 29th floor. Students of three faculties study in the main university building: Faculty of Mathematics, Faculty of Geology and Faculty of Geography.
