Dear colleagues, if you are coming to Moscow by air, we recommend you to use aeroexpress (аэроэкспресс) trains to reach the city. You can buy the tickets on the web site or directly at the aeroexpress stations. Price of one ticket is 320 roubles. These trains will bring you close to the stations of the ring (brown) line of Moscow underground transport (metro). Trains from Sheremetyevo airport come close to metro station "Belorusskaya", from Domodedovo — to "Paveletskaya" and from Vnukovo — to "Kievskaya".
Then you should use metro and go to the station "Universitet" (red line). Ticket offices are situated at the entrance of the stations. Price of one ticket is 28 roubles. At the station "Universitet" you should take the exit at the end of the station hall. At that moment, if you look around, you will see the spire of the MSU main building, it will help you to find the right direction.
Then you should cross the road (Lomonosovskiy prospect) and go to the MSU main building. A walk will take about 15 minutes. You can take municipal buses No 119 or 661 (ticket at the bus stop is 25 roubles or 28 roubles if paid to the bus driver, second stop is yours) or small private buses No 329M, 400M, 572M or 464M (pay to the driver 20 roubles and tell "DK MGU" (it is the name of the stop)).
To check in at the MSU guest house you should go to the section B of the MSU main building (Scheme 1, solid line — route by foot, dash line — route by bus):
