Tyumen Higher Military School named after Proshlyakov. Tyumen Higher Military Engineering Command School

Tyumen Higher Military Engineering Command School named after Marshal of Engineering Troops A.I. Proshlyakova continues the military and glorious traditions of the Tallinn Military Infantry School, the formation of which began on August 17, 1940 in the military town of Tondi, in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. Initially, the school consisted of two battalions: 1 battalion was staffed by Red Army soldiers - participants in the battles with the White Finns, the youth of Leningrad and the Leningrad, Pskov and Novgorod regions; The 2nd battalion was fully staffed by the youth of the Republic of Estonia.

With the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the educational process at the school was interrupted, the school receives an order from the Commander of the North-Western Front: to create a powerful defense area on the outskirts of Tallinn together with work detachments, to carry out patrol service in the city, to fight against enemy agents, banditry, as well as carry out tasks for mining tank-dangerous areas and objects to be destroyed. In carrying out these tasks, courage and heroism have become the norm of behavior for officers and cadets of the school. No matter how important the performance of combat missions at the front was, the war did not remove from the school its main task - the training of commanders for the front. By order of the People's Commissar of Defense, the school was withdrawn from the combat area and evacuated to the rear.

On July 15, the school left Tallinn in two echelons. The road was hard. The echelons repeatedly came under fire from enemy troops. At railway stations, cadets assisted the population in eliminating fires, saving state property, and restoring tracks destroyed by enemy bombardment.

On July 25 and 26, 1941, the 1st and 2nd echelons with personnel arrived in the city of Slavgorod in the Altai Territory. The school did not stay in Slavgorod for long, at the end of August the school was transferred to the city of Tyumen, Ural Military District.

From August 27, 1941, the school was called the 2nd Tyumen Military Infantry School, and from September 16, 1941, having become part of the West Siberian Military District, the school received its former name - the Tallinn Military Infantry School.

On September 10, 1941, the school made the first early graduation of officers. The front received 551 officers with the rank of lieutenant. In connection with the war, the training period for cadets was reduced to 6 months, the recruitment of cadets was increased from two to five battalions. School graduates of the first graduation were mainly sent to the 368th Infantry Division, which was being formed in the city of Tyumen. Graduates of Estonian nationality left at the disposal of the command of the 7th and 249th Estonian divisions, which were formed near Chelyabinsk.

During the years of the Great Patriotic War, the school trained and graduated more than 4.5 thousand officers who showed courage, heroism and courage on the war fronts. School graduates fought near Stalingrad, defended Leningrad and Karelia, participated in the battles near Kursk and on the Dnieper, liberated the Baltic states and Belarus and everywhere showed remarkable moral and combat qualities: courage, heroism, selfless devotion to the Motherland.

Twelve years after the Great Patriotic War, the school continued to graduate infantry officers.

At the end of the 1950s, reorganization and re-equipment of all types of the Armed Forces and branches of the armed forces took place, and the restructuring of the system of military educational institutions began.

In connection with the order of the Minister of Defense of the USSR and the directive of the General Staff of the SV of June 22, 1957, the Tyumen Military School was reorganized into the Tyumen Military Engineering School (TVIU) with the task of training officers for the engineering troops. To staff the school, cadets of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd courses arrived from the former Leningrad and Moscow military engineering schools. The command and teaching staff of the school was staffed by experienced officers, many of whom were participants in the Great Patriotic War, went through a large school of study in academies and service in units. By decision of the district commander, classes at the school began on November 15, 1957.

As a legacy from the infantry school, TVIU received one 2-storey barracks; two educational buildings, on one floor of the 2nd educational building there was a support battalion; 2-storey building, which housed the management of the school and the club; auto repair shops in a small shed; cadet canteen for 200 seats; parade ground; two houses for officers.

The cadets who graduated from the college were awarded the military rank of "lieutenant" and the qualifications of "technician-builder" and "technician-mechanic".

Changes in military affairs, greater saturation of the engineering troops with new equipment, increased requirements for command personnel were the reason for the transition of the school to a higher education program.

In accordance with the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR of January 11, 1968, on the basis of the order of the USSR Ministry of Defense of January 31, 1968, the school was transformed into a higher military engineering command school.

In April 1974, the Council of Ministers of the USSR adopted a resolution "On perpetuating the memory of Marshal of the Engineering Troops Proshlyakov A.I." On the basis of this Decree, the order of the USSR Ministry of Defense No. 107 of April 30, 1974 was issued, the school was given the name "Tyumen Higher Military Engineering Command School named after Marshal of Engineering Troops A.I. Proshlyakov."

Reference: Aleksey Ivanovich Proshlyakov was one of the outstanding Soviet military leaders. He was born on February 5, 1901 in the village of Golenishchevo, Ryazan Region, into a working-class family. In the Red Army since the age of 19. During the Great Patriotic War, he held high positions: he was the head of the engineering troops of the army on the Western Front, deputy chief of the engineering troops of the engineering department of the Central and Bryansk fronts (1941), deputy commander - head of the engineering troops of the Southern, Stalingrad, Don, Central, Belorussian and 1 Belorussian fronts (1942-1945). In May 1945 Proshlyakov A.I. was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union for engineering support, personal courage and heroism shown in the Battle of Berlin. From 1952 to 1965, Alexei Ivanovich was the head of the engineering troops of the USSR Ministry of Defense. In 1961 A.I. Proshlyakov was awarded the rank of Marshal of Engineering Troops, since February 1965 he was a military inspector-adviser of the USSR Ministry of Defense. Alexei Ivanovich died on December 12, 1973. In honor of the memory of Marshal of Engineering Troops Alexei Ivanovich Proshlyakov, a bust of the hero was erected on the territory of the school.

In 1992, the school switched to a 5-year study program. In the same year, a new specialization was introduced at the school - engineer-sapper for the Airborne Forces.

In August 1998, in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, the Military Engineering Academy. VV Kuibyshev was transformed into the Military Engineering University with three branches. The Tyumen Higher Military Engineering Command School was transformed into the Tyumen branch of the Military Engineering University, which made it possible to quickly solve scientific problems, improved the methodological support of the educational process, and increased the practical orientation in training cadets.

On July 9, 2004, the Government of the Russian Federation decided to establish the Tyumen Higher Military Engineering Command School (TVVIKU) on the basis of the Tyumen branch of the Military Engineering University.

On June 22, 2007, by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the Tyumen VVIKU was awarded a new Battle Banner with Russian symbols. The old Red Banner was transferred to the museum for storage.

By order of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 24, 2008 and the directive of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation No. D-31dsp, the Tyumen Higher Military Engineering Command School was reorganized into the Branch of the Federal State Military Educational Institution of Higher Education “Military Academy of Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Forces and Engineering Troops named after Marshal of the Soviet Union S.K. Timoshenko" of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (branch, Tyumen) - Tyumen Military Institute of Engineering Troops.

Since 2010, the school has been preparing highly qualified military specialists of engineering troops for foreign countries.

On September 1, 2013, on the basis of the Decree of the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation, the school was reassigned to the head of the engineering troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with the return of the historically established name "Tyumen Higher Military Engineering Command School named after Marshal of Engineering Troops A.I. Proshlyakov.

In the same year, Colonel Evmenenko Dmitry Feliksovich was appointed head of the school.

All the years, officers-graduates of the school performed combat missions in peacetime. They played an important role in demining the area from explosive objects left on our land after the Great Patriotic War. More than 500 graduates performed international duties in Angola, Ethiopia, Algeria, Vietnam, Afghanistan and other "hot spots". School graduates, commanding engineering units and subdivisions, played an important role in ensuring order for the disarmament of illegal armed groups on the territory of the Chechen Republic, as well as in ensuring peace in the zone of the Georgian-Abkhaz conflict, in South Ossetia, in Transnistria, in Yugoslavia, carried out engineering securing the Tajik-Afghan border. The graduates of the school made a special contribution to the elimination of the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant,

In honor of the memory of the graduates of the school who heroically died during the hostilities in the "hot spots" and fulfilled their military duty to the end in various armed conflicts, a memorial stela was erected on the territory of the school to graduates who gave their lives in the name of the Fatherland and a memorial was created to the dead military engineers of all generations.

Dozens of officers of the engineering troops, who have combat experience, serve and are currently working in the school.

TVVIKU is one of the few educational institutions in the city that boasts so many names. The educational institution was renamed, reorganized, became part of other universities, became independent. In connection with these changes, the name of the university changed 8 times. Despite changes in statuses and names, the Tyumen Higher Military School continues its activities, replenishing the ranks of the command staff of the engineering troops with young, qualified personnel.

The Tallinn (Tyumen) military infantry school began to form in August 1940, in the town of Tondi, near Tallinn. Previously, the cadet school of the former Estonian army was located here. This military town had an excellent educational and material base. The commanding staff by this time already had combat experience gained in the battles at Khalkhin Gol, Lake Khasan and in the war with Finland. In July 1941, the Tallinn Infantry School was relocated to Slavgorod, Altai Territory. August 25, 1941 transferred to Tyumen.

From August 27, 1941, the school was called the 2nd Tyumen Military Infantry School, and from September 16, 1941, having become part of the West Siberian Military District, the school received its former name - the Tallinn Military Infantry School.

Since September 3, 1941 - the Tallinn Military Infantry School; from December 14, 1945 - West Siberian Military Infantry School. Since September 4, 1947 - the Tyumen Military Infantry School. From 1954 to 1957 - Tyumen military school. During the war years, I. A. Bespalov, M. V. Krotov, N. N. Logunov, P. P. Molodykh, and I. N. Bashmakov were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Heads of the school - M. S. Vlasov, I. P. Dorofeev, P. K. Tyutyurin.

The Tallinn Military Infantry School was designed for a two-year training and set the task of preparing competent combined arms commanders. On January 1, 1941, the first battalion, made up of Red Army soldiers - participants in the battles with the Finns - and the youth of Leningrad, Leningrad, Novgorod and Pskov regions, began to study. The second, consisting entirely of young people of Estonian nationality, is two months later. In January of the same year, courses for junior political officers are organized at the school.

On the territory of the 10th military camp (in the Zatyumen part of the city) there was a headquarters, two residential buildings for the Komsoviet, a canteen, and two barracks. The organization of everyday life was the responsibility of the cadets themselves. To prepare firewood, 7-10 people harnessed to the sled and dragged it to the Upper Bor area, and then back with the load. They had to constantly provide assistance to the collective farms and enterprises of the city, where women, old people and teenagers mostly worked.

School life was stressful. Loads on cadets and officers were incredible. Rise at 6 o'clock in the morning, lights out - at 23 o'clock. Theoretical classes, fire and drill training, night alarms, forced marches in gas masks over long distances were commonplace. In the barracks there were quarters (100-120 people each), two-tiered wooden bunks were built for recreation. On them, for a bed, everyone was given a sheet and a blanket, pillowcases for mattresses and pillows, which were stuffed with straw by the cadets.

The Tallinn Military Infantry School formed the command staff, prepared for battles, and most importantly, taught them to cherish the honor of an officer. They fought not for orders, but for conscience. They taught officer ethics, even how to hold a knife with a fork, how to behave at the table, working out the command voice.

Due to the needs of the army, the training period for cadets was reduced to 6 months, and recruitment increased from two to five battalions. The first (early) release of the Tallinn VPU took place on September 10, 1941, giving the front 550 lieutenants. For the most part, graduates became part of the 368th Infantry Division, which later received the name of the Red Banner Pechenga. This division traveled a glorious path from Tyumen to the Norwegian city of Kirkenes, liberating Karelia and the Arctic.

In 1957, on the basis of the Tallinn Military Infantry School, the Tyumen Military Engineering School was formed. In the year of foundation, its material base consisted of one two-story barracks, two educational buildings (on one floor of the second educational building there was a support battalion), a two-story building that housed the school administration and the club, auto repair shops in a small shed, a cadet canteen for 200 seats, a drill parade ground , two houses for officers.

After 60 years, for the effective training of cadets, the school has field and sports training bases, a laboratory, gyms, and classrooms. Training is carried out in three main specialties by 9 departments. Higher school allows you to get higher, secondary and additional vocational education, as well as conducts professional retraining. The material and technical base allows for theoretical and practical classes.

In April 1974, the Council of Ministers of the USSR adopted a resolution "On perpetuating the memory of Marshal of the Engineering Troops Proshlyakov A.I." On the basis of this decree, the order of the USSR Ministry of Defense No. 107 of April 30, 1974 was issued, the school was given the name “Tyumen Higher Military Engineering Command School named after Marshal of Engineering Troops A.I. Proshlyakov.

On July 9, 2004, the Government of the Russian Federation decided to establish the Tyumen Higher Military Engineering Command School (TVVIKU) on the basis of the Tyumen branch of the Military Engineering University.

On June 22, 2007, by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the Tyumen VVIKU was awarded a new Battle Banner with Russian symbols. The old Red Banner was transferred to the museum for storage.

The school has its own traditions and holidays. Thus, the graduation of young officers, the adoption of the military oath, the celebration of the Day of Engineering Troops, the Day of the School, the Day of Defenders of the Fatherland, etc. have become traditional. The staff of the school takes part in all the solemn events of the city and regional scale held in the city of Tyumen.

In 2013, on the basis of TVVIKU, the Tyumen Presidential Cadet School was created.

On the territory of TVIKU them. A. I. Proshlyakova there is a memorial sign to the graduates who died in the Great Patriotic War.

During the Great Patriotic War, there were 2 more military schools in Tyumen:
The 1st Military Infantry School (1939-1946) was located in the building of the former Gostiny Dvor. The cadets took the oath in February 1939. The new set consisted of 600 combatants, 300 were awarded orders and medals. With the beginning of the Second World War, the training period was reduced from 2 years to 6 months, so that most of the cadets did not receive command (later officer) ranks. In May 1946, the school was disbanded. 5 Heroes of the Soviet Union came out of the walls of the Tyumen Infantry School: F. I. Dozartsev, V. N. Egorov (posthumously), V. V. Motov, P. S. Myasnikov, X. X. Yakin, the latter became a full holder of the Order of Glory. Heads of the Tyumen Infantry School: S. S. Epanechnikov, A. N. Velichko, N. A. Pimenov, N. N. Yakimov.

The 2nd military infantry school (March 1942 - October 1945) was located on the territory of the 6th military camp. The first chief was Colonel A. A. Simonov, since 1944 - Major General N. M. Novikov. Over the years of its existence, there were 3-4 releases of lieutenants, mostly cadets were sent to the front, having completed the course of a young soldier. In 1945 the school was disbanded.
