Within a short period the Courses became one of the best country's leading higher educational establishments. The present building in Malaya Pirogovskaya street was built in 1908. The lecture hall for physics then built was modern and had no analogy either in Russia or in Europe.

In 1940 it was named after M. V. Lomonosov. In 1970 the Institute was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labour. In 1993 it was renamed into an Academy. In 2010-2011 it was renamed into its present name. The University now based on two territories in Malaya Pirogovskaya street and near Yugo-Zapadnaya underground station.
