       index. 
505 0  Introduction -- 1. Honor and status in Lemonosov's 
       'autobiography' -- 2. Russia's 'own Platos and quick-
       witted Newtons' : inventing the scientist -- 3. Lomonosov 
       in the age of Pushkin -- 4. Commemorating Russia's 'first 
       scientist' -- 5. Boris Menshutkin and the 'rediscovery' of
       Lomonosov -- Epilogue : afterlife of the myth. 
520    This study explores the evolution of Lomonosov's 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 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 --
