Arkhangelsk Region lies in the North-European part of Russia. The Arkhangelsk region attracts a lot of tourists. The Great Russian scholar, scientist and poet M. Lomonosov was born here. Tourists coming to the Arkhangelsk region cannot leave it without visiting M. Lomonosov's birthplace. Our great compatriot M.V. Lomonosov was born in a fisherman’s family in the village of Denisovka near Kholmogory, Arkhangelsk Gubernia. M. Lomonosov's house-museum exhibits tell the visitors about different periods in the scientist's life and different spheres of his interest. M.V. Lomonosov distinguished himself in many branches of learning: chemistry, physics, mining, metallurgy, astronomy and navigation. In most of them he was ahead of his time. M.V. Lomonosov fought for Russian science. In 1755 he founded the first Russian university in Moscow. There is a bone-carving factory in Lomonosovo whose exquisite creations make a remarkable souvenir from the Pomorland. There are a lot of beautiful places in our region, which attract tourists. And we hope all people can afford a holiday in the Arkhangelsk region and they will learn to appreciate our region.
