       M.Lomonosov was one of the most learned men in Europe. He was an outstanding innovator both in the humanities and sciences. Lomonosov was born in the village of Denisovka near Kholmogory in Archangelsk province on the 19th of November 1711. His father was a fisher and young Mikhail liked to help him. At an early age he learnt to read and write. Learning was young Lomonosov`s passion. He always strove for knowledge. When he was 19, he went on foot to Moscow, where he entered the Slavic-Greek-Latin Academy. The Academy was closed to peasants and Lomonosov had to hide his peasant origin. He pretended to be of noble birth. Here Lomonosov  studied Latin and mastered it in a short period of time. At that time he was hard up, for his only income was a stipend of three kopecks a day but he made rapid progress. He was a brilliant student and in 1736 he was sent abroad to complete his knowledge in chemistry and mining. While abroad Lomonosov studied philosophy, physics, mathematics, foreign languages and even began writing poetry. He also developed an interest in German literature. After he had returned from abroad, he became the first Russian professor of chemistry in 1745.

       At first he was engaged in scientific research in physics and chemistry.  In 1748 he started working in the first Russian chemical research laboratory, which was built at his request. In 1755 he founded the first Russian University which is situated in Moscow and carries his name.

     At the end of his life in 1764 Lomonosov was elected honorary member of the Stockholm and  Bologna Academies. In 1765 Lomonosov caught a cold  and died on the 15th of  April, 1765 at the age of 54. He was buried in the cemetery of Alexander Nevsky Monastery in St.Petersburg.
