M. V. Lomonosov was born on the 19th of November 1711 in a fishermans family near Kholmogory in the village of Denisovka (later renamed Lomonosovo in his honor) not far from Arkhangelsk.
Learning was his passion. At an early age Mikhail learned to read and write through church books. When he was fourteen Lomonosov was given copies of "Modern Church Slavonic" (a grammar book) and Leonty Magnitskys "Arthimetic. "
When he was 19, Lomonosov went on foot to Moscow where he entered the Slavic Greek Latin Academy. The Academy was closed to peasants and Lomonosov had to hide his peasant origin. He pretended to be of noble birth.
Here he studied Latin and mastered it in a short period of time. He completed a twelve-year study course in only five years, graduating at the top of his class.
He was a brilliant pupil and in 1736 he was sent abroad at the University of Marburg. While abroad Lomonosov studied philosophy, physics, mathematics and foreign languages and even began writing poetry. He also developed an interest in German literature.
