MOSCOW STATE UNIVERSITY
The university was established on January 25, 1755 by a decree of Russian 
Empress Elizabeth. January 25 is still celebrated as the Students’ Day in Russia. 
Originally it was allocated in the Principal Medicine Store on the Red Square, 
and then the university was transferred by Catherine the Great to the pre-
sent neoclassical building on the other side of the Mokhovaya Street. In 1940 
the university was renamed in honour of its founder Mikhail Lomonosov.
At present the main faculties are situated on Vorobjevy Gory. The build-
ing was designed by architect Lev Vladimirovich Rudnev. The main building 
of Moscow State University was by far the largest. It was also the tallest build-

50
ing in Europe at that time. The central tower (240m and 36-stories high) was 
flanked by four huge wings of student and faculty accommodations. It contains 
a total of 33 kilometers of corridors and 5,000 rooms. The star on the top is 
large enough to provide a small room and a viewing platform; it weighs 12 tons.
There are a lot of faculties now, such as Faculty of Mechanics and Math-
ematics, Faculty of Physics, Faculty of Chemistry, Faculty of Psychology, 
Faculty of Foreign Languages, etc.
