Yakov Borisovich Knyazhnin (Russian: Я́ков Бори́сович Княжни́н , November 3, 1742 or 1740, Pskov – January 1, 1791, St Petersburg) was Russia's foremost tragic author during the reign of Catherine the Great.
 Knyazhnin's contemporaries hailed him as the true successor to his father-in-law Alexander Sumarokov, but posterity, in the words of Vladimir Nabokov, tended to view his tragedies and comedies as "awkwardly imitated from more or less worthless French models".
Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU; Russian: Московский государственный университет имени М.
 В.
 Ломоносова , often abbreviated МГУ) is a coeducational and public research university located in Moscow, Russia.
 It was founded on January 25, 1755 by Mikhail Lomonosov.
 MSU was renamed after Lomonosov in 1940 and was then known as "Lomonosov University".
 It also houses the tallest educational building in the world.
 It is rated among the universities with the best reputation in the world.
 Its current rector is Viktor Sadovnichiy.
Alexander Petrovich Sumarokov (Russian: Алекса́ндр Петро́вич Сумаро́ков ; 25 November 1717 [O.S. 14 November] , Moscow – 12 October 1777 [O.S. 1 October] , Moscow) was a Russian poet and playwright who single-handedly created classical theatre in Russia, thus assisting Mikhail Lomonosov to inaugurate the reign of classicism in Russian literature.
Akademik Lomonosov is a non-self-propelled vessel to be operated as the first Russian floating nuclear power station.
 The ship was named after Academician Mikhail Lomonosov.
Mikhailo Lomonosov (or MVL-300) is an astronomical satellite of MSU named after Mikhail Lomonosov.
Nikolay Nikitich Popovsky (Russian: Николай Никитич Поповский ) (1730?
- 13 February 1760) was a Russian poet and protégé of Mikhail Lomonosov.
 Son of a priest serving at Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, in 1748 he was chosen by Vasily Trediakovsky at Lomonosov's behest amongst ten students from the Moscow Slavyano-Greko-Latin Academy to be enrolled in the university attached to the Academy of Sciences.
 While still a student at the university, he translated Horace's "Ars Poetica" into Russian verse, whereas Trediakovsky had produced only a prose rendition.
 The Horace translation, including the odes, was published by the Academy of Sciences in 1753.
 In 1753 at Lomonosov's suggestion he translated the first part of Alexander Pope's "Essay on Man" from a French version; publication was delayed until 1757 due to opposition by the Russian Orthodox church.
 He wrote an ode in honour of Empress Elizabeth's ascension to the Russian throne (1754), and another in the name of Moscow University for her coronation (1756).
 His poem in honour of Elizabeth on the occasion of the New Year's fireworks display of 1755, at one time thought to have been written by Lomonosov, is in fact a translation of Jacob Stahlin's poem "Verse an Ihre Kayserliche Majestät unsere grosse und huldreichste Monarchin gerichtet worden".
The Lomonosov Mountains ( ) are a somewhat isolated chain of mountains extending 18 nmi northeast–southwest, located 20 nmi east of the Wohlthat Mountains in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica.
 They were discovered and first plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition, 1938–39, and were mapped from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1958–59.
 The mountains were remapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition, 1960–61, and named after Russian scientist Mikhail Lomonosov.
The Lomonosov Gold Medal, named after Russian scientist and polymath Mikhail Lomonosov, is awarded each year since 1959 for outstanding achievements in the natural sciences and the humanities by the USSR Academy of Sciences and later the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS).
 Since 1967, two medals are awarded annually: one to a Russian and one to a foreign scientist.
 It is the Academy's highest accolade.
The Saint Petersburg Mining University (Russian: Санкт-Петербургский горный университет ), is Russia's oldest technical university, and one of the oldest technical colleges in Europe.
 It was founded on October 21, 1773, by Empress Catherine the Great, who realised an idea proposed by Peter the Great and Mikhail Lomonosov for training engineers for the mining and metals industries.
 Having a strong engineering profession was seen by many Russian rulers as a vital means of maintaining Russia's status as a great power.
 As historian Alfred J. Rieber wrote, "The marriage of technology and central state power had a natural attraction for Peter the Great and his successors, particularly Paul I, Alexander I and Nicholas I".
 All three had had a military education and seen the achievements of the engineers of revolutionary and imperial France, who had reconstructed the great highways, unified the waterways and erected buildings throughout Europe in a more lasting tribute to the French than all of Napoleon's victories.
Russian literature refers to the literature of Russia and its émigrés and to the Russian-language literature of several independent nations once a part of what was historically Rus', the Russian Empire or the Soviet Union.
 The roots of Russian literature can be traced to the Middle Ages, when epics and chronicles in Old Russian were composed.
 By the Age of Enlightenment, literature had grown in importance, and from the early 1830s, Russian literature underwent an astounding golden age in poetry, prose and drama.
 Romanticism permitted a flowering of poetic talent: Vasily Zhukovsky and later his protégé Alexander Pushkin came to the fore.
 Prose was flourishing as well.
 The first great Russian novelist was Nikolai Gogol.
 Then came Ivan Turgenev, who mastered both short stories and novels.
 Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoyevsky soon became internationally renowned.
 In the second half of the century Anton Chekhov excelled in short stories and became a leading dramatist.
 The beginning of the 20th century ranks as the Silver Age of Russian poetry.
 The poets most often associated with the "Silver Age" are Konstantin Balmont, Valery Bryusov, Alexander Blok, Anna Akhmatova, Nikolay Gumilyov, Osip Mandelstam, Sergei Yesenin, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Marina Tsvetaeva and Boris Pasternak.
 This era produced some first-rate novelists and short-story writers, such as Aleksandr Kuprin, Nobel Prize winner Ivan Bunin, Leonid Andreyev, Fyodor Sologub, Aleksey Remizov, Yevgeny Zamyatin, Dmitry Merezhkovsky and Andrei Bely.
