		Lomonosov did receive a certain level of education in Kholmogory, certainly enough to awaken in him a desire for learning, which he furthered by passing himself off as the son of a priest in order to get himself enrolled into the Slavo-Graeco-Latin Academy in Moscow.
		Far from temperate by nature, Lomonosov resented the overwhelming influence of non-Russians at the Academy, towards whom he could frequently be drunkenly abusive, culminating in a lengthy period of house arrest in 1743-44.
		Lomonosov was passionately concerned that Russia establish for itself a native scientific tradition – hence his resentment of foreigners at the Academy – and to this end he played a major role in the foundation in 1755 of the university in Moscow that still bears his name.

	Lomonosov, Mikhail Vasilievich (1711-65)
		In 1761, at the University Observatory in St Petersburg, Lomonosov observed a transit of Venus with the intention of finding the planet's diameter by measuring the size of its dark outline.
		He was able to determine that Venus is similar in diameter to Earth, but the precision of his measurement was hampered by the fact that the edge of the planet's disk, instead of appearing sharp, as he'd expected, was fuzzy and indistinct.
		Lomonosov was deeply impressed by Fontanelle's writings on pluralism and, in the face of opposition from the Eastern Orthodox Church, expressed his belief in many inhabited worlds in his native country.
