The Invention of Mikhail LomonosovA Russian National Myth\nAuthor(s): Steven Usitalo\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Academic Studies Press, United States\nImprint: Academic Studies Press\nISBN-13: 9781618111739, 978-1618111739\nSynopsis\nThis study explores the evolution of Lomonosovs imposing stature in Russian thought from the middle of the eighteenth century to the closing years of the Soviet period. It reveals much about the intersection in Russian culture of attitudes towards the meaning and significance of science, as well as about the rise of a Russian national identity, of which Lomonosov became an outstanding symbol. Idealized depictions of Lomonosov were employed by Russian scientists, historians, and poets, among others, in efforts to affirm to their countrymen and to the state the pragmatic advantages of science to a modernizing nation. In setting forth this assumption, Usitalo notes that no sharply drawn division can be upheld between the utilization of the myth of Lomono.
