Moscow State University

Moscow State University is the oldest and largest university in Russia, founded in 1755 by the Russian Empress Elizabeth and the scientist Mikhail Lomonosov. Its iconic main building on Sparrow Hills, one of the Stalinist “Seven Sisters” skyscrapers, was completed in 1953 and remains a dominant symbol of Soviet-era architecture and educational prestige.

Fundamental Library

The Fundamental Library of the Tajik National University, founded in 1948, is the largest and oldest academic library in Tajikistan. It serves as a central hub for education and research, housing millions of items including rare manuscripts and books. The library plays a vital role in preserving the nation’s written cultural heritage.

Shuvalov Building

The Shuvalov Building is a historic neoclassical palace in St. Petersburg, Russia, originally constructed in the late 18th century. It served as the residence for prominent aristocratic families, most notably the Shuvalovs, and was a known center for high-society life and culture. Today, the building is part of St. Petersburg State University and houses its Faculty of Philosophy and Sociology.
