NOVOSIBIRSK, November 5 – RIA Novosti, Grigory Kronich. On the eve of Military Intelligence Day, RIA Novosti correspondents visited the only military university in Russia where they teach this profession. Teachers and cadets explained who is taken into reconnaissance and why they are taught to conquer Elbrus, parachute underwater and eat snakes.

Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School was founded on June 1, 1967. Since October 2009, by order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the school has been renamed into the Federal State Treasury Military Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education "Military Educational and Scientific Center of the Ground Forces" Combined Arms Academy of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation "(branch, Novosibirsk).

Running between buildings

On the spacious territory of the military university at 10.00 in the morning we were greeted by absolute silence; classes had been going on in the classrooms for a long time. The routine at the university is close to that of the army, explains Ivan Poshekhonov, a teacher at the military intelligence department. Wake up at 6.00, then exercise and breakfast. Classes start at 8.30 and last for six hours. At 15.00 - lunch, and then another three hours of classes. Lights out at 22.00.

The officer and I go to the building of the Faculty of Military Intelligence, and along the way we run ahead of a platoon of cadets.

“The break between classes is ten minutes, and the walk between some buildings is about 15 minutes, so you have to run,” explains the officer. “I myself once studied here, it was the same - a tradition. We even walked without overcoats in winter - so that time "Don't waste time on undressing. The first year sometimes comes late - it's hard for them to get used to it after civilian life."

Where the cadets ran, a lost pen and eraser remained on the asphalt. That's right - the freshmen were running!

Who will go on reconnaissance

Military intelligence is one of the elite army professions; it is very popular, but the selection for this faculty is the strictest.

“We have someone to choose from, usually the competition is about ten people per place,” says professor of the intelligence department Viktor Ozherelyev. “We are also given the right to recruit 10% more cadets, so that, if necessary, we can weed out unsuitable people.”

The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to develop a special reconnaissance vehicle for 112 million rublesAccording to the design documentation, the product is intended, in particular, to search and identify ground-based stationary and moving targets around the clock and in all weathers, solve navigation problems, transmit intelligence data to the control center, solve problems of hitting detected targets, ensuring mobility and protecting the crew.

Based on the results of consideration of the submitted documents, the number of applicants is reduced to three people per place. Unlike a regular university, there are higher requirements for the health and physical fitness of applicants. To get the highest score, you need to do 25 pull-ups, run the 100-meter dash in 12.1 seconds, and cover three kilometers in 11 minutes.

“Our cadets have the first health group, with this you can become a pilot, paratrooper - anyone. To make decisions in a military situation, a reconnaissance officer needs self-confidence, psychological stability, and, finally, he must be able to think quickly and well, so the third the component of a scout is intelligence,” says the professor.

“But the most important thing is the desire to become an intelligence officer, therefore, if a cadet gets here against his desire, nothing will come of him. Cadets do not leave the faculty on their own initiative; it happens that teachers do not want to teach a person further,” the interlocutor continues.

Every year, a different number of cadets are recruited to the Faculty of Military Intelligence, depending on the order of the Ministry of Defense. From the course they form a training company, which is divided into platoons. And the entire faculty is united into a training battalion.

Upon graduation, the cadet receives two specialties - “personnel management” and “military intelligence”. Graduates are not left without work - they are in demand not only in military intelligence units, but also in other branches of the military and special services.

Hazing

Until 1991, military intelligence officers were trained in Kyiv; after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992, training was moved to Novosibirsk.

“Why?” Ozherelyev wonders. “Perhaps they were counting on the endurance and unpretentiousness of Siberians? It is known that about half of the students at the university usually come from the region where it is located.”

Now cadets from various regions study here, although there are many Siberians.

“It doesn’t matter how far from home you study,” says fourth-year cadet Mikhail Startsev, who came from the Volgograd region, “it’s important that it’s interesting to study, and here it’s very interesting.”

Mikhail joined the army behind his older brother, an officer. And I chose intelligence because it is an elite education, an elite service in the future.

“Recently, a lot of guys have been coming from the south of Russia,” says Poshekhonov. “They are distinguished by their particular meticulousness, I would say. If a local guy can miss something without understanding, then the southerners will ask until they understand everything. They are a pleasure to work with."

Four dark guys in civilian clothes suddenly come out to meet us. “I wish you good health!” they say in unison, Poshekhonov answers the greeting and, noticing a surprised look, explains: “We went to the mosque for Friday prayers. It’s a normal thing - these are Arabs, they study with us to become intelligence officers on exchange between countries.” .

Military intelligence officers do not engage in hazing, Poshekhonov notes.

“What kind of hazing can there be if you are going to intelligence with this person tomorrow?” he says. “We don’t have ‘soldiership’ at all; in this respect we are different. Officers usually address themselves by their first name and patronymic, and not by rank. I served in troops, but there was no case of calling a soldier some kind of “monkey.”

I will address the soldier, the cadet, by his first name and patronymic: “Ivan Ivanovich, come here, you scoundrel! I will punish him for his misconduct, but he will remember that he is not a “monkey,” but Ivan Ivanovich is a respected person.”

Commander's language

During their studies, cadets master skills in several areas. They even learn the basics of mountaineering. They are undergoing internship in Altai. Every year the university team participates in the Elbrusiad - a competition where you need to climb Elbrus in a certain time.

Reconnaissance and clearing of populated areas: special forces competitions in SiberiaReconnaissance and Siberian special forces platoons compete in the Novosibirsk region. Over the course of four days, fighters must demonstrate theoretical knowledge and skills in eight disciplines - from physical and fire training to the ability to provide medical assistance.

The cadets learn to handle special equipment, and also undergo airborne training - they make day and night parachute jumps, on water, long jumps, with cargo and special equipment in a wetsuit. During their studies, everyone must make at least 50 jumps. They have been jumping since the first year.

Freshman Semyon Groo has only been studying for a couple of months, but has already completed four jumps.

“I’m from the city of Lesosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk Territory, I graduated from the cadet corps there, because I always dreamed of becoming an officer. We have already started classes in the management class, where we practice commander skills,” he says laconically in a military manner.

We went into the management class. Here, according to senior lecturer of the intelligence department Sergei Zhukov, cadets develop a command language.

The training areas are separated by partitions, the cadets in headsets, with a map and compass, outline the route, as if from a combat vehicle. In front of them is a model of a training ground, on which military units - their own and others' - are marked with lights. The cadets command their scouts and carry out a training mission.

Professional language should be concise and understandable to subordinates. “Brevity is the sister of talent, but here - taking into account military terms,” says Zhukov. “As the task is set, so it will be completed.”

A set of equipment created at the department helps future commanders develop their skills. It allows you to track and manage scouts operating at the training ground right from here. Video and photographic images are transmitted from the drones to two monitors, and the commander at the computer controls the situation “in the field.” This development is the department’s know-how.

“But the fact is that when the war starts, all these systems will turn off,” says Ozherelyev, “and then the intelligence officers will have to rely on themselves, a map, a compass and personal weapons.”

Weeks in the fields

Cadets are taught to survive in any conditions. They must be able not only to make fire without matches, but also to feed themselves, no matter where - in the taiga or desert. Therefore, scouts know, for example, how to handle snakes and how to eat them.

But scouts are strictly prohibited from using captured food and drink (as opposed to weapons) - they can be specially poisoned.

Second-year cadet Denis Grishaev admits that he has not tried snakes yet. “We are not taught to eat snakes (in practice), we are trained so that if the need arises, we can do it,” he says.

And to the question: “What else are they preparing for?”, he answers simply: “To defend the homeland.”

In the Grishaev family, three generations of men are military men, so the example was always before their eyes. He chose the Novosibirsk university because his uncle, a military intelligence officer, said that both in his service in Afghanistan and later in civilian life, he benefited from the knowledge and character that he developed at the military school.

Denis is already feeling this upbringing. “I like studying, you discover something about yourself that you would never have known about yourself. Combat training means constant field trips, night parachute jumps, daytime jumps, long jumps. When you live in the fields for a week, willpower is hardened here, the core inherent in the military appears ".

One of the main non-civilian institutions in the country remains the Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School, which annually graduates a large number of professionals in the relevant specialization. Entering a university is quite simple, the main thing is a great desire to become a military man and defend your country.

History of the university

What the Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School is, when it was founded, who teaches there and what specialties can be obtained - these are the questions that concern potential applicants. The university was founded in June 1967 and still occupies a high position among all military institutes in the country.

At the time of its formation, it was called the Novosibirsk Higher Military-Political Combined Arms School; it was here that deputy commanders were trained, who were to be responsible for the political unit in the Airborne Forces, ground forces and special forces of the GRU General Staff. The first cadets were recruited in Omsk, on the basis of the local general military school; at the time of opening there were 11 departments in total.

In 1992, the school was reoriented, and now it began to train military intelligence officers. In 2004, the university received a new name - Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School, and still retains it, continuing to actively train students.

University students and their reviews

The Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School, reviews of which have spread throughout Russia, is the only military university in the country training military intelligence officers. Over its almost 50-year history, the school has graduated more than 17 thousand students who took part in the hostilities that took place in South Ossetia, Afghanistan, Chechnya, participated in peacekeeping operations, etc.

More than 20 university graduates were awarded high awards from the Russian government, including the title of Hero of the Russian Federation. All graduates and students note the high qualifications of the university’s teachers, their tenacity in trying to pass on their skills and abilities, as well as their responsiveness and willingness to always come to the rescue.

Some graduates still consult with the school’s teachers on various professional issues; they note that teachers are always up to date with all the latest innovations, which is good news. Reviews about the school are purely positive; graduates periodically visit the university and participate in its festive events.

University specialties

Of course, before enrolling, the student must study the specialty. As of 2015, the Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School offers only four options to its potential students. Four specialties relate to two: the first is the use of military reconnaissance units, the second is the use

Both areas are related to personnel management, in this case the military. Thus, it is in NVVKU that future officers are trained who will be able to make decisions and organize the work of their subordinates even in the most difficult situations. In the period from 1967 to 2007, the school had five specialties, but now their number has been significantly reduced.

Some disciplines from closed specialties have become part of the current ones, but military sociology is no longer at the university, and the subject is studied only within the framework of standard general professional disciplines. The decision to close this specialty was made due to low demand for it.

After graduation, a graduate can receive one of four specialties - “reconnaissance platoon commander”, “personnel management specialist (intelligence)”, “platoon commander”, “personnel management specialist (motorized rifle units)”. All of these are in civilian life.

University departments

As of 2015, the Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School (NVVKU) owns 15 departments. Some of them are engaged in developing and conducting classes aimed at developing students’ military skills - tactics, reconnaissance, command and control, weapons, combat vehicles, and operation of armored weapons.

All other departments are general professional - pedagogy, psychology, humanities, natural sciences, foreign languages, general technical disciplines, physical training. The departments have been formed over almost five decades, so the teachers of each of them have high-quality training and provide the most relevant and useful knowledge for students.

Famous university alumni

Each university has a list of former students who were able to apply the acquired skills and become respected people. There is one at the Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School. Among them, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Ilyin, who was the host of the famous television programs “Strike Force” and “Army Store”, is now a director and TV presenter.

One of the famous graduates of the university is Oleg Kukhta, a former GRU officer, now he is an Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, singer and TV presenter. Since 2003, he has acted in films, recorded his own songs, toured Russia and periodically visited his former school.

Many former university students went into politics, in particular Evgeny Loginov, Valery Ryumin, Nikolai Reznik, Vladimir Strelnikov, etc. One of the graduates, Yuri Stepanov, has been the general director of the Tom football club from 1992 to the present day. In short, all graduates of the school were able to realize themselves in a professional environment.

Who can become a student at the school?

Before you go to an educational institution, you should read the reviews. NVVKU (military institute) meets all modern requirements for an educational institution. However, the university itself also requires potential students to fulfill at least minimal obligations.

First of all, we are talking about age. Applicants under the age of 22 who have never served in the military have a chance to get a place at a university. Those who have already served in the army or are about to be drafted must be no older than 24 years old. Those who have completed military service on a contract basis or are still serving must be no older than 25 years old to enroll in the school.

What documents are needed for admission?

All potential university students must provide a number of documents. If the applicant has not served in the military, he will have to submit an autobiography, copies of a passport, birth certificate, certificate, reference from the place of study, three photos measuring 4.5x6, a professional selection card, a certificate from the regional department of internal affairs, an outpatient card and medical certificate.

For admission, current or former military personnel will need to submit an autobiography, characteristics, a copy of their passport and school certificate, a service card, a professional selection card, three photographs, a medical record, and a medical examination card.

The admissions committee will work until May 20, after receiving documents, entrance tests will be scheduled.

Entrance exams

The Novosibirsk Higher Military Command School annually conducts professional selection of student candidates, which takes place in two stages. The first is determining fitness for health reasons. It takes place in absentia, based on the documents provided by the applicant (medical card, etc.).

The first is carried out on the basis of the Unified State Examination results in mathematics, Russian language and social studies; the exact results must be clarified with the university admissions committee. Determination of professional suitability is carried out on the basis of surveys.

Assessing the physical fitness of a future student also plays an important role. He will be required to take the 100-meter and 3-kilometer runs, as well as the pull-up bar as an entrance exam. All results are entered into the evaluation form along with the Unified State Examination results, after which the results are summed up.
