History of Moscow University

In January 2005 Lomonosov Moscow State University celebrated its 250th anniversary, over 800 various events being held on the occasion. Founded in the XVIII century, the University has been constantly growing and encompassing new branches of learning and research.

All the history of the University is the evidence of the outstanding role its alumni have played promoting the ideas of freedom, common good, humanity, and truth.

One of the oldest Russian institutions of higher education, Moscow University was established in 1755. In 1940 it was named after Academician Mikhail Lomonosov (1711 - 1765), an outstanding Russian scientist, who greatly contributed to the establishment of the university in Moscow.

Moscow University today

• Nowadays, as it has history, the University retains its role of a major center of learning and research as well as an important cultural center. Its academics and students follow the long-standing traditions of the highest academic standards and democratic ideals.

• In June 1992 the President of the Russian Federation issued a decree establishing the status of Moscow University as a self-governing institution of higher education. In November 1998, after a wide-ranging discussion, the Charter of Moscow University was approved. It proclaims Moscow University a self-governing body operating under its own Charter and the laws of the Russian Federation.

• C 713 books and two pairs of earplugs.

You are out with some new friends enjoying a quiet pint at the pub. Suddenly and for no clear reason they begin to chant "Down it, fresher!" What do you do?

• A Slowly drink about half your pint while waiting for everyone to get bored.

• B Gulp it down in one, grin and hold the empty glass over your head.

Mostly As

Congratulations! You're average! Your respectable 2.1 will make the rest of your life simple. You'll join up for the graduate scheme of a large telecom company and gradually make your way to the dizzy heights of regional deputy division manager. You'll marry someone you met in the university library and raise your two beautiful daughters, Panda and Kitten, in a respectable three-bedroom house in a leafy, respectable suburb. Unfortunately you will still die.

Mostly Bs

Hooray! After three gruelling years of drinking, shouting and buying essays off the internet, you'll bag yourself a solid 2.2. Six months of fruitless job interviews later, a friend's dad will take you on at his consultancy firm. Two days after that, you'll be a qualified consultant, capable of being consulted by absolutely anyone. Sometimes, just sometimes, dreams really do come true.

Mostly Cs

Congratulations! Sure, you're lonely, depressed and deeply socially inept, but you're going to get a First! After leaving university, you'll find yourself working at some of the world's top firms and quickly making millions. Years later, as you sip champagne on the balcony of your first mansion, you will say "I did it my way". Standing next to you, resplendent in satin pyjamas, your talking robot spouse will agree.

Thanks for your attention!

We wish you good luck!
