Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov is a great Russian researcher who is famous for his outstanding works in various fields of science.
Great Russian scientist
This person owns a huge number of discoveries, which subsequently had an important influence on the formation of the scientific system. It was Lomonosov who became the person who found out that the planet Venus has an atmosphere. He was the first to study the nature of glass, thereby laying the whole science.
The scientist was born in 1711 in the Russian Kingdom, and died in 1765 already in the Russian Empire. He lived a relatively short life, but managed to leave a lot behind him. Who knows how many more discoveries would have been made had Mikhail Vasilyevich lived for several more decades.
Place in history
All discoveries and works that have been made and written by a Russian scientist are of great importance. This man was incredibly versatile, which helped him to be equally successful both in the field of physics and in literature, although these sciences have absolutely nothing in common. Many great figures showed respect to Mikhail Vasilievich. For example, the famous mathematician Euler wrote in his memoirs that Lomonosov has the gift to answer any question, as well as ask a question that only he can answer. The mathematician has repeatedly stated that people like Mikhail Vasilyevich not only work for the good of science, but also glorify their nation.
In the era of Lomonosov, Russian figures were underestimated in the scientific world. However, it was he who managed to change everything. The works of Lomonosov forced the rest of the scientific world to reckon with the Russian.
Proceedings on the history of Russia
Lomonosov’s works on the history of Russia have been incredibly successful. He was the first to take the life of people in the Old Russian State as a basis for research. Lomonosov identified the most important periods in the history of Russia. In his opinion, there were six significant stages that affected the state.
Mikhail Vasilievich was the first to decide to put forward the theory of the Slavic-miraculous origin of Russia. The theory was not immediately accepted, but after a certain period of time they agreed with it.
A Russian scientist will write many works directly related to the history of Russia. One of the most famous will be "Ancient Russian History." This book will become popular not only with us, but also in many European countries. Later it will be translated into several languages and republished. Whatever he took, Lomonosov succeeded in everything. Proceedings on the history of Russia are also relevant after several centuries.
Educational work
The works of Lomonosov in the field of pedagogy deserve special attention. They are based on caring for a person. The academician worked as a teacher for some time and tried to put his ideas into practice. The main goal is to properly educate young people. He did a lot for the further development of pedagogy, because for ten years he developed special manuals.
The scientist has repeatedly stated that in order to teach a child something, an individual approach is needed to him. He managed to prove that education at all levels is important and interconnected. The scientist relied on the principles of humanism, nationality and democracy.
He always insisted that education should be accessible to all. He wanted more schools to open and all children to learn basic sciences.
Mikhail Vasilievich owns the idea of creating a hostel for students of the gymnasium. He believed that this would be possible to devote more time to study. Thanks to him, gymnasiums were divided into Russian and Latin.
He paid a lot of attention to science and education of Lomonosov. Pedagogical works do not give rise to doubt. And the efforts were not in vain, his works were later taken as a basis, and then the educational system of Russia developed on them.
Grammar Proceedings
Mikhail Vasilievich owns the textbook Russian Grammar, which laid the foundations of the Russian language. Special attention should be paid to the scientific works of Lomonosov in grammar. The works of the authors of antiquity, as well as some rules from other countries, were taken as a basis. Lomonosov divided the Russian language and Church Slavonic. Although the languages were similar, for some time they became completely different. After that, the Russian language began to develop faster.
The academician analyzed many words and phrases and made some conclusions based on the results. After he fully learned the language, the famous Russian Grammar came out. The society greeted the book with enthusiasm, and Lomonosov became "the first Russian grammarist." In the future, many linguists wrote books, fully relying on his works.
Works in the field of philology
Lomonosov began to study philology, wanting to increase the level of people's speech. He was impressed when a person can formulate his thoughts in a connected and competent way and convey them to others. For a long time, Lomonosov collected the necessary information, on the basis of which he wrote a book on eloquence. It was called "Rhetoric." It made it possible even for poorly educated people to have an idea of what it means to speak clearly and correctly.
Mikhail Lomonosov is the person who developed the literary language. He was the first to start doing this, because before him the Russian language was of little interest to linguists of those times. If the academician had not taken up his study, probably people would have used Church Slavonic in some areas for many years. The philological works of Lomonosov played an important role in the development of a language culture.
Transactionses in the field of Economics
Mikhail Lomonosov grew up in a family where he used to take a sober look at life. With a similar look, he looked at the country's economy, which was devoted to a lot of work. Among them, it is customary to single out such names of Lomonosov’s scientific works in economics: “On the Reproduction and Preservation of the Russian People”, “On the Correction of Agriculture”, “On the Correction and Reproduction of Craft Crafts and Arts”, “On the Best Benefits of the Merchants”, “On the Best State Economy "," On the preservation of military art during the long-term peace. "
It was important for the academician what constitutes the economy of his state. He believed that in order to have a strong country, it was necessary to develop industry, namely metallurgy.
He also advocated the modernization of agriculture and other areas of industry that make the economy strong and independent.
An important place in the economic works of Lomonosov was occupied by the problem of the number of population. He believed that the state will be strong when there will be many educated people in it. At the same time, he understood that in the future a large number of people could play a cruel joke. For the development of the economy and the country, educational institutions should be opened so that people realize themselves and help build a strong power.
In one of the books, the scientist raised the issue of seafaring. He believed that this industry should be developed and invested heavily. This is necessary in order for Russia to reach the world trade level, as well as for mining in the Pacific, Siberia and the North. According to his writings, a highway should pass through these areas.
He also touched on the topic of disseminating information regarding the economy. One of his ideas was the publication of newspapers that would allow all residents of the country to keep abreast of the economic situation.
The works of Lomonosov in this area gave a start to creating a powerful and stable economy, which will appear in Russia shortly after the death of the scientist.
A little about the rest of the merits of the academician
Lomonosov made many discoveries in the field of language and literature. It’s not a secret for anyone that it was secondary for him, because the academician was more attracted to the fields of natural science. He was passionate about physics, meteorology, astronomy, chemistry, and other sciences.
Shortly before his death, Lomonosov managed to see something that no one had previously succeeded. The discovery was that Venus, it turns out, has an atmosphere around it. None of the astronomers were able to notice this phenomenon, except for Lomonosov. The event is dated 1761.
Memory of man
All the works of Lomonosov deserve only praise; he is one of the few truly great scientists whose descendants will remember the name for many more years.
Today, many educational institutions bear the name of the legendary scientist. In 1956, he established his medal, which could be obtained only by prominent figures working in the field of chemistry and other natural sciences.
Whatever he took, Lomonosov succeeded in everything. Proceedings on the history of Russia are also relevant after several centuries.
