On January 23, 1755, Moscow State University was founded! 🌟
Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov played a major role in the establishment of the oldest Russian university, for which Moscow State University bears his name.
According to the academician’s project, it was necessary to create three faculties: philosophy (initially mandatory for all students), medicine and law (where further specialization took place). Teaching was supposed to be conducted in two languages: Latin and Russian.
🙎♀️ Although historically the university was founded by the decree of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna (12) on January 23, 1755, this date fell on St. Tatiana’s Day, which was celebrated on January 12 according to the old style (the Russian Orthodox Church celebrates her memory day according to the new style on January 25). Therefore, today January 25 is considered the birthday of Moscow State University, and all students in Russia consider this day their holiday.
