You are standing by a station that bears the name of a great scientist, but the station itself appeared here quite recently — in 2017.
Институт механики МГУ · 0.3 km
Before you stands a building that looks like an ordinary research facility, but this is exactly where answers are born to questions that could change our understanding of motion.
Ботанический сад биологического факультета МГУ · 0.9 km
You are standing before the oldest scientific botanical institution in Russia — and this is not just a beautiful park, but a living laboratory where plants have been studied for almost three centuries.
Памятник Ломоносову (Москва, Воробьёвы горы) · 1.9 km
Before you stands not just a bronze figure — this is the man whose name has become synonymous with Russian science.
Ленинские горы · 2.8 km
You're standing at a spot where the very name sounds like a riddle: Leninskie Gory — yet around you there are no mountains, just straight avenues and university buildings.
