The Star of Moscow University

The Star of Moscow University on top of the Main Building has always served the guiding light for the hundreds of its graduates, working all around the country and beyond, yet making a difference in the arrears they enroll.

Since then this award has played an integral role in furthering the unique mission of the University through acknowledging the outstanding faculty, staff, students, and alumni. The laureates are appraised for their contribution into the development of science and culture as well as strengthening the impact of the University.
