In 1711, on November 19, in the village of Denisovka, located in the Arkhangelsk province, the famous Russian scientist Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov was born. According to a brief biography, Lomonosov was a chemist, poet, physicist and artist.
Childhood
The future poet spends his childhood with his father Vasily Dorofeevich and his stepmother, from whom he never felt love. They did not live well, like ordinary working peasants, Mikhail was the only son in the family. Basically, all the people of that village, including Vasily, were engaged in seafaring. In order to inherit all the things that his father did, he needed to get an education. Therefore, the boy is sent to the parish church to learn to read and write.
As the short biography tells, Lomonosov was a very purposeful child, at an early age he learned to read and write. After young Mikhail found out about his father's intentions to marry him, he stole his passport and fled. The boy's craving for knowledge was so great that he went on foot to Moscow at the end of 1730.year.
Academic years
In the capital, he studies for five years (instead of the prescribed twelve) at the Slavic-Greek-Latin Academy, which he enters, hiding his peasant origin. Mikhail at that time turns 19 years old, and his classmates just left the school desk.
As the brief biography of Mikhail Lomonosov tells us, he lived very poorly in the capital, the scholarship was 3 kopecks a day, of course, this money was not enough for anything.
Mikhail's perseverance helped him become the best student, who, with three more successful students, was sent to Germany, where they later comprehended mining.
Life abroad was very eventful. The first year of the student passes in three, he masters the Greek language and Latin (a large number of scientific books were written in Latin at that time, of which he managed to read an impressive number in his time).
Mikhail Vasilyevich manages to study well and at the same time compose his own poems in different languages, gets acquainted with Old Russian and Latin poetry. Unfortunately, Lomonosov does not cope with the natural sciences at the first stage of his studies, as a short biography describes, which makes him even more interested in them. In the future, this will be a serious impetus to his professorial career.
Return to Russia
The scientist comes to St. Petersburg in 1741, where he enters the scientific academy as an associate professor of physics. Mikhail Lomonosov, whose brief biography tells about the huge contribution of this unique person to many sciences, helped in the development of astronomy, geology, geography, meteorology, cartography, soil science, geodesy.
In 1754, Mikhail was working on his own project, later called the Lomonosov University. The law on the conservation of matter, narrates a brief biography, Lomonosov wrote personally. He also researched a large number of optical instruments and worked on color theories.
