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 Lomonosov during the Soviet period of Russian history and that which characterized earlier views. The main elements that formed the mythology were laid down in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; Soviet scholars simply added more exaggerated layers to existing representations -- |cProvided by Publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 600 10 Lomonosov, Mikhail Vasilʹevich,|d1711-1765. 600 17 Lomonosov, Mikhail Vasilʹevich,|d1711-1765.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00055038 600 17 Lomonosov, Michail Vasilʹevič|d1711-1765.|2gnd|0(DE- 601)06022326X 648 7 1700-1799|2fast 650 0 Authors, Russian|y18th century|vBiography. 650 0 Enlightenment|zRussia. 650 0 Russian literature|y18th century. 650 0 Science|zRussia|y18th century. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY|xScience & Technology.|2bisacsh 650 7 SCIENCE|xHistory.|2bisacsh 650 7 Authors, Russian.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00822302 650 7 Civilization.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00862898 650 7 Enlightenment.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00912527 650 7 Russian literature.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01102312 650 7 Science.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01108176 650 7 Rezeption.|2gnd|0(DE-601)104675152 650 7 Kulturhistoria.|2sao 650 7 Intellektuellt liv.|2sao 650 7 HISTORY / Europe / Russia & the Former Soviet Union. |2bisacsh 651 0 Russia|xCivilization|y18th century. 651 7 Russia.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01207312 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 700 1 Marker, Gary,|d1948-|eseries editor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aUsitalo, Steven A.|tInvention of Mikhail Lomonosov|z9781618111739|w(OCoLC)858867927 830 0 Imperial encounters in Russian history. 914 ocn861693428 994 92|bCKE
