And Lomonosov was not taught at all... who had to walk to Moscow and then obtain knowledge himself, while living hungry.

The father of the Sabbath, Vasily Dorofievich, was by no means a poor type, rather a very wealthy one, because the first in the north on personal money by the decree of Peter 1 built a shipyard according to the western pattern, the hucor, in addition, had large land possessions.

The second point is that Mikhail fled to Moscow by no means for knowledge, but from under the crown, at night and in secret.
He proceeded by forging documents to the Slavic-Greek-Latin Academy, and then to the University of the Academy of Sciences in Petersburg (to the question of the absence of higher education in the RI of those times).
Well, and life is hungry...officially it is. But there is an unrecognized version that Mikhail was a bastard of Petrush and in his youth he was not poor, and the arts behind him were such that the term would be deadline.)
