Lomonosov was well regarded by contemporary European scientists; he was elected honorary member of the Swedish (1760) and Bologna (1764) academies of science.
Lomonosov desired an education, however, and posed as the son of a nobleman to gain admission to the Latin Academy in Moscow.
Lomonosov is memorialized in many place names--Arctic submarine ridge, Atlantic current, etc. The Russian Academy of Sciences awards Lomonosov honorary medals in scientific achievement--one to a Russian and one to a foreign scientist.
