| Moscow State University named after M. V. Lomonosov was founded in 1755 by decree of the Russian Empress Elizaveta and in 1940 was renamed in honor of the outstanding Russian scientist M.V. Lomonosov who made great contributions to the formation of the University. MSU is the largest and oldest University of the Russian Federation, with the highest academic traditions and standards. So far, the University has had 11 Nobel Prize winners and 5 Fields Medal winners. Currently, MSU has 39 faculties, including more than 4000 lecturers including about 100 academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences. There are 40,000 students and approximately 10,000 high school students participating in various supplementary courses at MSU. With an important role in academic training in the Russian Federation, in 1992 MSU was recognized by the Russian Federation as an autonomous educational institution (receiving funding from the budget, not through the Ministry of Education). The 2007 Charter of the Russian Federation emphasized the leading role of MSU in the development of training, research and development of Russian culture as part of its national heritage and in 2008 MSU became an agency in the Federal Government, in which the head of the University is the Government Representative. |
