📆 #OTD, on 15 April 1765, Mikhail Lomonosov passed away, an outstanding Russian scientist (the first major one in Russia) and writer, polymath ranking alongside famous Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton, Nikola Tesla.
✍️ His spheres were natural science, chemistry, physics, mineralogy, history, art, philology, astronomy and others.
Lomonosov contributed greatly to the formation of modern Russian literary language.
Lomonosov’s father was a prosperous peasant-fisherman, but Mikhail’s passion was not business. He left for Moscow aged 19, studied in the Slavic Greek Latin Academy, in Kiev, St.Petersburg, then abroad.
🎓 Upon returning to Russia in 1741 he was named an Adjunct of the Russian Academy of Science, becoming its full member in 1745. Eager to improve Russian education system he joined his patron Count Ivan Shuvalov in founding Moscow University which bears his name today.
⚛️ He is deservingly regarded as the “Father of Russian Science”. Many of his scientific accomplishments were relatively unknown outside Russia until long after his death and gained proper appreciation only in late XIX and XX centuries.

📆 Today, Russia celebrates Radio Day, commemorating the invention of the radio by Russian physicist Alexander Popov.
📻 In 1894, he constructed the first radio receiver, utilizing a coherer. On May 7, 1895, Popov demonstrated the world's first radio receiver to the Russian Physical and Chemical Society; however, he never sought a patent for his invention.
📻 In March 1896, Popov successfully transmitted radio waves between buildings in St. Petersburg. By 1898, he achieved ship-to-shore communication over a distance of 6 miles, and a year later, over 30 miles.
📻 In 1945, this date was officially designated as Radio Day in the Soviet Union, and it has been celebrated as such ever since.
🇷🇺 In various cities across Russia, students from electrical engineering faculties hold commemorative ceremonies and lay wreaths at monuments dedicated to Alexander Popov.
