Basic moments
Throughout its 260-year history, the university has remained the most prestigious in the country. Within its walls, I.S. Turgenev, A.P. Chekhov, N.I. Pirogov, Maximilian Voloshin, B.L. Pasternak, V.V. Pozner, A.S. Politkovskaya, E.V. Kaspersky, M.S. Gorbachev, Boris Akunin and many other prominent personalities. Out of 18 Soviet and Russian laureates Nobel Prize 11 were students or teachers at Moscow State University. 12% of all discoveries registered in the Soviet Union belong to its former students.
Today, about 300 academicians and corresponding members of the Academy of Sciences of the Russian Federation teach at the university. 39 faculties, about 40 thousand students, six branches, including in other countries, research institutes– the scale, scope and huge internal potential of this alma mater are really impressive! The university campus is considered the largest in the world. Currently, Moscow State University continues to actively develop, new buildings are being built, the science park attracts talented young scientists and entrepreneurs to create high-tech projects.
Founders
The honor of establishing the Imperial Moscow University belongs to the outstanding Russian naturalist Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov, Empress Elizaveta Petrovna and statesman and philanthropist Ivan Ivanovich Shuvalov. In correspondence with the latter, Lomonosov provided a detailed plan for the structure of the university.
Adjutant General Shuvalov was a favorite of the Empress and had a huge influence on her. It was at his request that a decree was signed on the creation of a university, of which he became the curator. He was in charge of economic issues, and the budget, and the choice of professors and students, the gymnasium. Shuvalov managed to achieve independence educational institution from local authorities. Ivan Ivanovich replenished the library of the university with his own books. For a hundred years it remained the only one accessible to the public.
Shuvalov invited foreign professors and sent talented students abroad. Many of them, after returning, became teachers in alma mater(Zybelin, Veniaminov, Tretyakov and others). Even when he retired, he continued to be interested in the affairs of the university: he worked for Mikhail Kheraskov, returning him to the post of curator; supported N.I. Novikov, who was in disgrace for sharp satirical works.
From the history of the university
The solemn opening ceremony of the Imperial Moscow University took place on January 12 (25), 1755 on the day of the Holy Great Martyr Tatiana. For more than a hundred years, it was a celebration of the founding of the university, and then became Students' Day. In the morning, a divine service was held at the Cathedral of the Mother of God of Kazan, then the teachers spoke within the walls of the educational institution. Dinner was given, and in the evening - festive illumination. The event was widely covered by domestic and foreign press.
The University was located in the building of the Pharmaceutical House (Red Square) of the former Zemsky Prikaz. The first enrollment was only 16 students. Basically, they were graduates of the Moscow Slavic-Greek-Latin Academy. Everyone could come to lectures and debates.
Initially, education was free, and later money for study was not taken only from the most talented. Obligatory was the acquisition of basic knowledge at the Faculty of Philosophy in history, poetry, criticism, physics, oratorio. Then students, according to natural talents, either continued their studies or moved to medical or law faculties. Government funding was not enough. E. Dashkova, the Demidovs, the Stroganovs and many other patrons helped the university in every possible way: they established scholarships for talented students, bequeathed their collections of books.
The nobles preferred military service. AT late XVIII century, out of 24 university professors, only three were of noble origin, the rest were the children of petty officials, clerics, and merchants. In the gymnasium at the university, mostly raznochintsy also studied. Among the teachers of the institution were students of Lomonosov from the University in St. Petersburg - Barsov, Yaremsky, Popovsky. The second gymnasium was founded later. In 1756, the printing house of the university began its work. Translations of the works of Shakespeare, Diderot, Voltaire and many others were printed here. Moskovskie Vedomosti, an independent newspaper, was published twice a week. This is where the bookshop started. In 1757, a student choir was created, then a theater. A year later, the performances were already gathering the residents of Moscow.
In 1804 the Charter was changed. Innovations touched management, the position of a trustee was introduced. The rector's candidacy was approved by the emperor.
At the turn of the century, the formation of scientific communities began. Moscow State University not only perfectly fit into the social life of the city, but also gathered talented and outstanding people around him. And after a few years, graduates are young educated people- formed the backbone that set the character of Moscow life.
History and architecture of the main buildings
At the end of the 18th century, Catherine II bought a building on Mokhovaya Street and allocated funds for the construction of 7 buildings and a temple. The main building of Moscow University (that was the name of the old building) was under construction for 7 years under the direction of M.F. Kazakov. However, as a result of the Moscow fire of 1812, all the buildings were destroyed, priceless archives burned down. The restoration was led by D. Gilardi. He retained the general features of the old building, a semicircular assembly hall, a dome. He added bas-reliefs and stucco decorations, characteristic of the Moscow Empire style, to the design of the facades.
In 1836, E. Tyurin built a university church on the site of the former wing of the Pashkovs. The interior is decorated with sculptures of angels, paintings by Langelotti and Claudi. N.V. was buried in this church. Gogol, A.A. Fet, university professors. After October revolution the student club was located in the temple, and then the student theater.
Today, there are 3 faculties, a publishing house, an archive of the Museum of History of Moscow State University, a church, a library and a House of Culture on Mokhovaya Street. The old building houses the Institute of Asia and Africa. Now the university manages about seven hundred separate buildings. The modern Main Building of Moscow State University deserves special attention. For 37 years it remained the most tall building(236 meters with a spire) in Europe, 50 years in Russia. The clock installed on the tower of the building remains the largest in the country, as well as the thermometer and barometer. About 500 enterprises were involved in the grandiose construction, which was supervised by the People's Commissar of Internal Affairs of the USSR Lavrenty Beria.
B.M. was appointed the chief architect of Moscow State University. Iofan (created the project of the Government House on the embankment). It was he who conceived the general design of the structure - a high central part and four lower ones on the sides. The overall design is strictly subject to the rule of the golden section. The architect insisted on erecting a building near the edge. Due to disagreements, B.M. Iofan was removed. L.V. became the new leader. Rudnev. The university building was moved 800 m.
Many advanced technologies were used for the first time during the construction of the Moscow State University building. At the same time, auxiliary buildings were erected, the area under the Michurin alleys was cleared, and covered with a layer of black soil. A fruit and berry nursery was planted - the foundation of the Botanical Garden was laid. The sculptural workshop of V.I. Mukhina. The spire, ears of corn and the star were covered with yellow glass plates, imitating gilding. The interior decoration used Ural gems, crystal, precious woods, marble.
The main building of the university is shrouded in many secrets and student legends. The myth that Moscow State University goes underground for hundreds of meters is very common. It probably has a real historical basis, because B.M. Iofan suggested going deeper to the continental plate. But, of course, this would entail huge costs, and the deadlines were running out.
Under the Main Building of Moscow State University there are really huge basements with several floors. There were bomb shelters, emergency food supplies, access to an artesian well. According to the calculations, the first floors can easily withstand nuclear strike, similar to that applied to the Japanese Hiroshima.
The myth that the Main Building was built by prisoners finds both supporters and opponents. Allegedly, points for their accommodation were even arranged on the upper floors in order to reduce the cost of transportation and settlement. A common story was that someone managed to escape. Opponents of the version argue that it is unlikely that such a strategically important construction could be entrusted to prisoners. There are allegations that the labor of German prisoners of war was used.
Various rumors go around the sculpture of I.V. Stalin. Student fantasies placed it in the center of the cryogenic installation, and instead of the spire on the tower. It sounds plausible that the made figure of the leader after the death of Stalin on March 5, 1953 was simply not installed. There are also rumors about existing plans to rename the university in honor of the "leader of the peoples", as if letters were even prepared for this. This myth remains unconfirmed.
The archives of Moscow State University have draft designs with various ideas for decorating the tower of the building. The options were very different: the figure of Lenin, and Lomonosov, and Stalin, and just a round dome. As a result, the spire is crowned five pointed star like the rest" Stalin skyscrapers(except for the building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs).
There is also talk of a secret metro line that runs from the Kremlin to Vnukovo. Newspapers often carried photographs of the schemes. A map of branched tunnels and highways is located in one of the basements.
There is a legend about four jasper columns from the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, which allegedly adorn the rector's reception room.
And one more thing: in honor of the 250th anniversary of Moscow State University, the Tatiana university satellite was launched to explore outer space. This fact, as you understand, is real and does not need additional confirmation.

Moscow University today
Moscow State University continues to be built: the territory occupied by the university on Sparrow Hills (146 hectares) will be doubled. It is planned to create a scientific valley here. Today, research in all branches of science is carried out in the laboratories of the alma mater. It boils here student life: about 40 sports sections, theater and dance studios, KVN. On the territory there are modern sports complexes, swimming pools, four museums with unique exhibits.
Many young people who are seriously thinking about their future dream of studying at the largest and most prestigious university in Russia. The education received within these walls is an excellent foundation for a career. International programs exchange, internships, grants for gifted students open up great opportunities. The cost of a year of study, today, is about 325 thousand rubles. most popular in last years- faculty government controlled.
On average, the usual competition at Moscow State University is six people per place. It is clear that there are fewer applicants for less popular destinations. But it is not enough to enter here - you also need to diligently gnaw at the granite of science in order to hold on.
Is it possible to study at Moscow State University for free? Yes, but only talented and very efficient. There is a boarding school at the university, where about 300 gifted children of the country receive knowledge.
Future applicants can try their hand at various Olympiads - international and held directly at Moscow State University, as well as project championships and Universiades (information about them is available on the university website). And since the university is interested only in the best of the best, the prize-winners and winners of these competitions are enrolled out of competition.
Conditions for admission, rules for submitting documents, information about passing scores are regularly updated on the website www.msu.ru.

It was originally located on the site of the current State Historical Museum on Red Square.
History of University
Role driving force taken over by the greatest Russian scientist Mikhail Lomonosov. Mikhail Vasilievich conceived an ambitious project to create a university for gifted students. However, it turned out to be difficult to implement the idea: officials invariably responded with a polite refusal to his proposal. In the end, Lomonosov had to use a cunning "workaround": he handed over the project and the charter of the university to the favorite of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna - Ivan Ivanovich Shuvalov. An influential courtier, subtle and clever man, Shuvalov was looking for fame as a patron of the arts and was able to get the Senate to approve the charter of the new educational institution proposed by Lomonosov. On January 25, 1755, the decree on the creation of the Imperial Moscow University was signed by Empress Elizabeth (by the way, this is where the student tradition originates - to celebrate Tatyana's Day).
At first, the university was located in the Apothecary House at the Resurrection Gate on Red Square (now the Historical Museum is located on this site). There were three faculties: philosophical, medical and legal. Partly due to the fact that Lomonosov himself was a nugget "from the bottom", a very democratic policy was pursued at the educational institution: everyone was accepted except for serfs, provided that the person passed the necessary entrance tests. Lectures were given by the best professors, often classes gathered a huge audience, since everyone could come to the lectures. Such a democratic policy soon led to a significant development of the educational institution. In the 19th century, the number of faculties was growing; more than 1,000 students were studying at the university in the middle of the century.
The university building quickly becomes cramped, and for classes they rent and then buy out the courtyard of Prince Repnin on Mokhovaya Street, then six more manor estates. In 1785, Catherine II releases 125 thousand rubles from the treasury for the construction of a university building designed by architect Matvey Kazakov. Alas, the very first building did not reach us: a fire in September 1812 destroyed it along with the museum, library, artistic and scientific values. But five years later, the charred skeleton began to be restored, funds for the construction were collected by the whole world. Reconstruction work ended in 1819 under the direction of the architect Dementia Gilardi. The solemn and elegant building took on the majestic appearance familiar to us, and classes began there.
According to the memoirs of contemporaries, studying at the Imperial Moscow University was both difficult and interesting. Lectures began at nine in the morning, there were seven couples in the schedule. Faculties were not as clearly demarcated as they are now - it was possible to attend classes of famous professors in various specialties. For the course of study, it was necessary to pay 28 rubles 57 kopecks in banknotes, but this did not apply to low-income talented students: there were still scholarships for them, as well as compensation for renting a room. In addition, a bonus system was introduced, and one could receive up to 300 rubles for excellent studies, and the competition prize for outstanding scientific work was 1500 rubles. In those days, when the average salary of a worker was 25 rubles a month, it was very decent money.
In the reign of Nicholas I, students received a mandatory uniform: a frock coat, a cocked hat and a sword.
However, soon dramatic events took place in the country: a revolution, a change political system, the execution of the imperial family. All this could not but leave an imprint on the way and policy of the university. It should be noted that a serious split occurred within the team: there were those who were “for” and those who were “against”. Students and professors who did not accept the new political power, were forced to leave the university, besides, under the pressure of the new government, entire scientific areas in philosophy, biology, history and philology were closed, which did not correspond to the revolutionary ideology.
Nevertheless, all these trials did not prevent Moscow University from maintaining its place as a leader in higher education. Already in 1934, the first PhD theses in the USSR were defended at Moscow State University, but as soon as the learning process began to gradually improve again, hard times came again. During the years of the Great Patriotic War more than five thousand students and teachers go to the front. Learning activities is suspended. Although already in the first post-war years there was a new upsurge in education, the country needed scientific personnel and qualified specialists. In 1947, on the day of the 800th anniversary of Moscow, the city received eight gigantic construction sites on the Sparrow Hills. Among them is a new complex of buildings for Moscow University with a high-rise building of Moscow State University. The main building was built from 1949 to 1953, and now it is he who is the symbol of the university.
In the 50s on entrance exams there was a real stir at MSU. The budget increased five times compared to the pre-war period, which made it possible to equip scientific laboratories and classrooms, open new faculties and specialized laboratories. The Faculty of Psychology, the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics, the first Faculty of Soil Science in the country, the Institute of Oriental Languages (since 1972, the Institute of Asian and African Countries at Moscow State University) appear. Today, Moscow State University has 39 faculties, 15 research institutes, 4 museums, about 380 departments and more than 40,000 undergraduate and graduate students. Moscow State University is the only one in Russia that has brought up 11 Nobel laureates.
The University is one of the three Russian universities with special status: a presidential decree of 2008 enshrined academic independence, which gives the right to establish their own educational standards and programs.
Library of Moscow State University
The Moscow University Library, opened in 1755, was the only secular, free and publicly accessible library in Moscow for more than a hundred years. AT mid-nineteenth century, restored after the fire of 1812, it consisted of more than 7500 volumes. Today, the unique fund is 10 million books, manuscripts and periodicals. Its services are used by about 65 thousand readers.
student theater
Russian stage art owes its flourishing to the first student theater. In 1756, students of Moscow University under the guidance of the rector, poet M.M. Kheraskov, showed the public the first performance. Subsequently, Russian theater troupes consisted almost entirely of university graduates, and one of them became the basis of the Imperial Moscow Theatre, the forerunner of the cultural heritage of Russia - the Bolshoi and Maly theaters.
Church of Saint Tatiana
After the Kazakov building and the first university church of Tatiana the Martyr burned down in a fire in 1812, Nicholas I bought Pashkov's house on Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street for the university. Architect E.D. Tyurin rebuilt this building for the new auditorium building, the left wing - for the library, and the right one from the former state theater turned into a church. Tyurin surprisingly harmoniously connected the new building with the Main Building of Kazakov - Gilardi. The graceful semi-rotunda with a colonnade received murals by Anton Claudi and a unique sculptural iconostasis by I.P. Vitali. In 1837, the holy martyr Tatiana became the patroness of Moscow University, and then of all Russian students.
High-rise building on Sparrow Hills
The main building of Moscow State University on the Sparrow (Lenin) Hills was designed in the studio of architect L.V. Rudnev. The selected construction site, a high plateau at the bend of the Moskva River, provided unique opportunities for the project. Moving the high-rise building away from the shore, the architect emphasized its grandeur and size with a solemn approach, decorated with green alleys and squares with fountains. The building of Moscow State University is the tallest among the "Stalin's sisters". The central span has 36 floors, so until 1990 it was the highest in Europe. The construction of a 240-meter skyscraper required more than 400,000 tons of steel, 175 million bricks, 111 elevators. The department of Lavrenty Beria oversaw an unusual construction site, thousands of prisoners worked on the construction and decoration of the building. In the central part there are three faculties, the administration, a library, a palace of culture and a museum of geography. The 19-story buildings of the side buildings house a student dormitory and apartments for teachers.
The high-rise of Moscow State University on Sparrow Hills was chosen for life by a couple of rare peregrine falcons.
The biggest myth associated with the Main Building is that the solid jasper columns on the 9th floor were supposedly brought here from the destroyed Cathedral of Christ the Savior. But actually it is not.
Famous professors of the university...
The creator of aerodynamics Nikolai Zhukovsky, the inventor of the gas mask, the chemist Nikolai Zelinsky, the great physiologist Ivan Sechenov, the naturalist Kliment Timiryazev, the surgeon Nikolai Sklifosovsky, the creator of biogeochemistry Vladimir Vernadsky and many other luminaries who taught at Moscow State University are confirmation of his level and prestige.
...and no less famous graduates
Playwrights Denis Fonvizin and Alexander Griboedov, poets Vasily Zhukovsky and Fyodor Tyutchev, revolutionary writers Alexander Herzen and Nikolai Ogarev, writers Ivan Turgenev and Anton Chekhov, philosopher Pyotr Chaadaev, theater figures Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko and Vsevolod Meyerhold, artist Vasily Kandinsky.
Lomonosov (Moscow) is an excellent educational institution for young people who want to devote their lives entirely to science or get a quality versatile education that opens the door to a number of leading Russian and foreign companies.
Founding of the university
Moscow State University was founded in 1755 by M. Lomonosov and I. Shuvalov. The opening date was supposed to be 1754, but this was not destined to happen due to repair work. The decree on the opening of the educational institution was signed by Empress Elizabeth herself in the winter of the same year. In honor of this event, Tatyana's Day is celebrated every year at the university. In the spring, the first lectures began to be read. Ivan Shuvalov became the curator of the university, and Alexei Argamakov became the director. The most interesting thing is that Mikhail Lomonosov was not mentioned in any official document and in any speech dedicated to the opening. Historians explain this by the fact that Ivan Shuvalov appropriated the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating Moscow State University and the glory from it, and also introduced a number of provisions into his activities that were zealously disputed by Lomonosov himself and other progressive scientists. This is just a guess for which there is no evidence. Some historians believe that Lomonosov only carried out Shuvalov's instructions.
Control
Lomonosov was subordinate to the Government Senate. University professors were subordinate only to the university court, which was headed by a director and a curator. The duties of the curator included the full management of the institution, the appointment of teachers, approval curriculum etc. The director was elected from outsiders and carried out control activities. His duties also included providing the material side of the issue and establishing correspondence with well-known scientists and other educational institutions. In order for the director's decision to receive full force, it had to be approved by the curator. The Conference of Professors, which consisted of 3 professors and 3 assessors, worked under the director.
18th century
Named after Lomonosov (Moscow State University) in the 18th century could offer students three medicines and rights. Mikhail Kheraskov in 1779 creates a university noble boarding school, which becomes a gymnasium in 1930. The founder of the university press is considered (1780). The newspaper "Moskovskie Vedomosti" was published here, which was the most popular in the whole Russian Empire. Soon, the first scientific communities began to form at the university.
19th century
Since 1804, the management of the university passed into the hands of the Council and the rector, who was personally approved by the emperor. The council consisted of the best professors. The re-election of the rector took place every year by secret ballot. Deans were elected in the same way. Kh. Chebotarev became the first rector who was elected according to such a system. The council dealt with the issues of the curriculum, testing the knowledge of students and appointing teachers in the gymnasium and college. Every month, Lomonosov Moscow State University hosted meetings dedicated to new scientific discoveries and experiments. The executive body was the Board, which consisted of the rector and deans. Communication between the university managers and the authorities was carried out with the help of a trustee. At this time, the faculties at Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov underwent some changes: they were divided into 4 branches of science (political, verbal, physical and mathematical and medical).
20th century
In 1911 there was a loud scandal - the Casso affair. As a result, about 30 professors and 130 teachers leave the university for 6 years. The Faculty of Physics and Mathematics suffered the most from this, which, after the departure of P. Lebedev, froze in development for 15 years. In 1949, the construction of a new building on Sparrow Hills began, which in the future became the main building of the university. In 1992, the well-known mathematician V. Sadovnichiy was elected rector of the university.
Studying proccess
Do you want to know what they teach at Lomonosov Moscow State University? In 2011 all Russian universities had to switch to a two-level system of education, which is prescribed by the Bologna Convention. Despite this, MSU continues to teach students in an integrated 6-year program. The rector of the university, Viktor Sadovnichy, said that the educational institution trains future specialists according to its own standards. He emphasized that they would be at a level above the state ones. For students, two forms of education are possible - a specialist and a master's degree. Training for a specialist will last 6 years, and bachelor's degree will remain only at some faculties. Analysts in the field of education have different points of view on this decision of the university: someone approves of it, someone is in no hurry to draw conclusions.
Structure
Today, the university consists of more than 600 buildings, the total area of which is approximately 1 million m². Only in the capital of Russia the territory of the university occupies about 200 hectares. It is known that the Moscow government allocated an area of 120 hectares for new buildings of the university, on which active work has been carried out since 2003. The territory was received on a gratuitous lease. Construction is largely due to the assistance of Inteko CJSC. The company has built up part of the allocated area with two residential areas and a parking area. The university has a share of 30% and 15% of the parking. It is also planned to build up the territory with four buildings surrounding the fundamental library. All this will be a small town, which will house the laboratory and research buildings and the stadium.
The fundamental library was built in 2005. In the autumn of 2007, the mayor of the city Yu. Luzhkov and the rector of Moscow State University solemnly opened two important objects: the First Academic Building of Moscow State University, which houses three faculties (public administration, history and philosophy) and a system of 5 buildings for the medical center (polyclinic, hospital, diagnostic and analytical centers and educational building). In the winter of 2009, the grand opening of the 3rd humanitarian building took place, which was planned to house the Faculty of Economics. A year later, the 4th building was opened, which was occupied by the Faculty of Law. An underground pedestrian crossing was created under Lomonosovsky Prospekt, which connected the new and old territories.
In 2011, the first educational building, located on the new territory, began to be called Shuvalovsky, and another one under construction will be called Lomonosovsky. There are branches of the university even outside the country, in the most remote corners: in Astana, Dushanbe, Baku, Yerevan, Tashkent and Sevastopol.
scientific life
named after Lomonosov (Moscow State University) is famous for talented scientists who regularly publish interesting work and research. In the spring of 2017, MSU biologists published a report in which they proved the relationship between kidney failure and “wrong” mitochondria. The results of the experiments were published in scientific journal scientific reports. A new way has been created to help evaluate the state environment. The university is famous not only for famous scientists who have already created a name for themselves, but also for young talents. Many of them in 2017 became laureates of the Moscow Government Prize.
Faculties
Lomonosov Moscow State University offers students a choice of a large number of areas of education. There are about 30 faculties in total. The Moscow School of Economics operates on the basis of the university, graduate School of business, the faculty of military education, the Higher School of Translation, etc. There is also a University Gymnasium, which accepts orphans. What interesting things can we learn about Lomonosov Moscow State University? The Faculty of Physics is considered one of the most progressive, and for good reason. He is considered the best place for teaching physics throughout Russia, because research is being carried out here that receives worldwide publicity. Leading teachers are scientists who are known for their discoveries and ideas even abroad. This faculty was established in 1933, and then it was called the Department of Experimental and Theoretical Physics. Such scientists as S. Vavilov, N. Bogolyubov, A. Tikhonov taught here. Of the 10 Russian Nobel Prize winners, 7 studied and worked at this faculty: A. Prokhorov, P. Kapitsa, I. Frank, L. Landau, A. Abrikosov and I. Tamm.
Summing up this review article, I would like to say that Moscow State University. Lomonosov is one of best universities Russian Federation if not the best. Each applicant should make a choice independently, because studying here opens up a lot of opportunities. The popularity of this educational institution is unlikely to ever fall, because even in branches there are almost never shortages.
