Mikhail Lomonosov Monument at Vorobyovy Gory, Monument to Russian scientist in Ramenki District, Russia.

The Mikhail Lomonosov Monument at Vorobyovy Gory is a bronze statue located on Moscow State University grounds that depicts the scholar in an upright pose. The monument occupies a prominent open plaza with clear views of the surrounding university buildings and landscape.

The bronze figure by sculptor Nikolai Tomsky and architect Lev Rudnev was installed in 1953, thirteen years after the university was named after Lomonosov. It stands on the central axis of the MSU building complex, between the chemistry and physics faculties, in front of the club wing of the main building.

Students call the long dispute over whether the statue stands closer to the Chemistry or Physics faculty the "rivalry"; measurements showed it is three metres nearer Chemistry, on Lomonosov's right, yet turned three degrees toward Physics. The faculties settled on the fact that he stands with his back to the rectorate. In September 2022 a student wrote "No to war" on the base; traces remain visible up close.

The monument is accessible via the Vorobyovy Gory metro station, followed by a walk across university grounds to reach it. The best time to visit is during daylight when you can see the statue and surrounding university landscape clearly.

A long-running rivalry between the Chemistry and Physics faculties concerns which building the statue is closer to. Measurements, from matchboxes to laser rangefinders, showed it stands three metres nearer the Chemistry faculty, on Lomonosov's right, yet is turned three degrees toward Physics. The faculties settled on noting that Lomonosov stands with his back to the rectorate.
