From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Iurii Vladimirovich Lomonosov (1876-1952) was a Russian railway engineer and a leading figure in the development of Russian Railways in the early 20th century. He was born in Smolensk in 1876.

He was also politically active and, in 1927, he moved to the west after finding his position in the Soviet Union untenable. He became a British citizen shortly before the start of World War II and died in Montreal, Canada, in 1952.
