The MSU Main building was the tallest building in the world outside of New York City at the time of its construction， and remained the tallest building in Europe until 1990. University students and staff began to enlist in the earliest days of World WarⅡ. During the post-war period， Moscow State University"s contribution to the restoration and further development of the country was recognized.

City show： Moscow is the capital city and the most populous federal subject of Russia. The city is a major political， economic， cultural and scientific center in Russia and in Europe. Moscow"s architecture is world-renowned. Moscow is also well known as the site of Saint Basil’s Cathedral， with its elegant onion domes， as well as the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the Seven Sisters. The first Kremlin was built in the middle of the twelfth century. One of the most notable art museums in Moscow is the Tretyakov Gallery， which was founded by Pavel Tretyakov， a wealthy patron of the arts who donated a large private collection to the city. Moscow is a very green city， if compared to other cities of comparable size in Western Europe and North America； this is partly due to a history of having green “yards” with trees and grass， between residential buildings.
