The Lomonossow University Moscow or Moscow State University is the largest university in Russia . The Russian name is Московский государственный университет имени М. В. Ломоносова ( МГУ ), transcribed by Moskovsky gossudarstwenny uniwersitet imeni MW Lomonossowa (MGU) .
history
The university was opened on January 12th . / January 23, 1755 greg. Founded by decree of Elizabeth I at the suggestion of the polymath and writer Michail Lomonossow by Ivan Shuvalov . In 1940 the surname of the university's founder was made an official part of its name. The anniversary of the foundation is now celebrated on the Gregorian January 25th, as the foundation is traditionally associated with the feast of St. Tatiana and the Russian Orthodox Church still uses the Julian calendar .
Many Soviet and Russian personalities from politics, art and science are graduates of this university, u. a. also Mikhail Gorbachev . There are currently around 40,000 students from all disciplines enrolled at the university. The asteroid (6355) Univermoscow is named after her.
Until 2019, the Russian President had the right to extend the rector's term of office twice beyond retirement age; So that the now 80-year-old rector Viktor Sadownitschi could remain in office after 27 years, the Duma changed the wording and deleted the restriction "twice".

architecture
The university is located on the Sparrow Hills (formerly Lenin Mountains) not far from the city center in the West district , in the middle of an extensive park. The Uniwersitet and Vorobyovy Gory metro stations are nearby .
On the occasion of Moscow's 800th anniversary in 1947, the foundation stones were laid for the construction of the modern building complex of Lomonosov University. The central component is a high-rise, which, as one of the so-called “ Seven Sisters ” of Moscow, takes on a symbolic position. The complex, built under the direction of the architect Lev Rudnew in the style of the Stalin confectioner style, is strictly symmetrical to the tower. The spire was requested by Stalin himself. The tower is adorned with neoclassical decor and a number of socialist hero sculptures. The huge dimensions of this 240 m high university building go far beyond the actual requirements. When it was completed in 1953, the skyscraper was the tallest building outside of North America and was only surpassed by the 249 m high 63 Building in Seoul ( South Korea ) in 1985 . The architectural criticism speaks of a monumental building with decoratively overloaded neoclassicism.
