Remember the fallen
take care of the living.

A person without a past does not exist.
Forgetting the past -
it's like a man without a homeland.

If someone shoots at the past with a gun,
the past will shoot him with a cannon.

The complex of these beautiful buildings, at the very entrance to the city of Vladikavkaz along the Georgian Military Highway, always attracts the attention of citizens and guests of the capital of the Republic of North Ossetia - Alania.
A military town immersed in greenery, where it once housed cadet corps, then the 17th Vladikavkaz Infantry School, the Ordzhonikidze Red Banner Military School, the Caucasian Red Banner Suvorov Officer School, the Ordzhonikidze Higher Combined Arms Command Double Red Banner School named after Marshal of the Soviet Union A.I. Eremenko, and today keeps the memory of events, people who are directly related to the history of our Motherland.
The building itself - a unique structure, is still the pinnacle of architecture and has no equal in terms of layout and length.
Here, once upon a time, from tens of thousands of lips, the words of a military oath of allegiance to the tsar and the Fatherland, then to the state and people sounded. And there was not a single case that this solemn promise was not fulfilled.
Unfortunately, the military biography of the former cadet corps, combined arms school is now interrupted. But I want to believe that time and life will correct the admitted thoughtlessness. But, in spite of everything, those who worked, served and studied within these walls do not forget that wonderful time.
Every graduate of a military school, no matter how his life and service develops, always remembers with special love and tenderness the years spent within its walls, where the character was formed and tempered, the high qualities of a citizen and officer were born and developed.
For more than 40 thousand officers, the Ordzhonikidze Higher Combined Arms Command School named after Marshal of the Soviet Union A.I. Eremenko, which for 75 years has established itself as a true forge of command personnel.
Over the years, it has come a long and glorious path, glorious traditions have been born and developed in it. Some left its walls, others came to replace them and, having accepted this kind of baton, continued and increased the glorious traditions of their older comrades.
This book is dedicated to the glorious anniversary - the 90th anniversary of the creation of the Ordzhonikidze Higher Combined Arms Command School named after Marshal of the Soviet Union A.I. Eremenko.
Using live examples, it tells about the past and present of those who served and worked within its walls, its glorious military traditions, generals, officers and cadets who contributed to its history, the participation of his pupils in defending the Fatherland, performing service and combat tasks in hot spots of the USSR and Russia.
Its pages tell about the Heroes of the Soviet Union and Russia, enrolled forever in the lists of the personnel of the institute, outstanding military leaders - graduates of the university, famous athletes, scientists, about the work of his students, the constant search for command and scientific and pedagogical staff of ways to improve the efficiency of the educational process.
The commanding staff, its pupils and graduates were directly involved in the Civil War and the suppression of counter-revolutionary rebellions in the Don and the North Caucasus (1919 to 1930), hostilities in Spain (1936-1939), on Lake Khasan, the Khalkhin Gol River (1939 ), with the White Finns (1940), in the Great Patriotic Wars e (1941-1945), the defeat of militarist Japan, in the events in Hungary (1956), Czechoslovakia (1968), in fulfilling the international duty in the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan (1979-1989), assisting in the training of personnel of the Armed Forces in various countries peace, in unblocking interethnic conflicts in Central Asia, Transcaucasia and the Ossetian-Ingush conflict, liquidating the consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, restoring constitutional order in the Chechen Republic and adjacent territories, maintaining a state of emergency in parts of the territories of the Republic of North Ossetia - Alania and the Republic Ingushetia.
Over 75 years of successful practical activity of the school, more than 40 thousand officers were trained here, more than 300 students of the university were awarded the highest officer rank "general", 72 graduates became Heroes of the Soviet Union, including Major General I.I. Fesin and P.I. Shurukhin were awarded this title twice, 9 were awarded the title of Hero of Russia.
Over the years, deep glorious traditions have developed at the school, a highly professional teaching staff has been formed, capable of successfully solving challenging tasks for officer training.
For success in the training of highly qualified officers, the school was awarded the Revolutionary Red Banner, the Order of the Red Banner, five Diplomas of the Presidiums of the Supreme Soviets - the Russian Federation, North Ossetia, nine Commemorative and challenge Red Banners, two challenge prizes of the Military Council of the North Caucasian Military District "The Best Military School of the District" , Commemorative medals "200th anniversary of the voluntary annexation of Ossetia to Russia" and "50th anniversary of the autonomy of North Ossetia."

Commission of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation on problems national security and socio-economic conditions of life of military personnel, members of their families and veterans held hearings on the topic "On the prospects for the development of Suvorov military schools in the Russian Federation." We publish excerpts from the speeches made.

The main issue is the reconstruction of the North Caucasian Suvorov Military School (SKSVU) in the system of the Ministry of Defense on the basis of the current Vladikavkaz Cadet Corps.

In line with state policy

In 1918, the 36th Tula infantry courses for red commanders were created, which laid the foundation for the Ordzhonikidze Higher Combined Arms Command School named after Marshal of the Soviet Union A.I. Eremenko (OVOKU). In May 1924, the 17th Tula Infantry School (former 36th courses) was relocated to Vladikavkaz and became known as the 17th Vladikavkaz Infantry School. I, a graduate of the Ordzhonikidze VOKU, know the history of the city. Back at the beginning of the 20th century, the Vladikavkaz Cadet Corps was created there, a unique building was built. All this is evidence of the once correct policy to strengthen the region.

I remember that in our school there were children from all the peoples of the Soviet Union. We were different. For four years they received higher education, but most importantly, they studied traditions North Caucasus and the peoples of the USSR in general. We were taught to be friends, culture, history. Then, after graduating from college, we went abroad, to other republics, territories, regions, and having such a potential, we worked with soldiers and the local population, introduced this culture, and developed it. In fact, we were educators and conductors of a correct interethnic policy. Our and other schools in Vladikavkaz played a huge role in instilling tolerance among our people, forming a sense of friendship, respect for the peoples of different nationalities, for people in general.

The officer both in the Russian Empire and in the USSR carried state ideas, preserved the integrity of the country. Today, somehow, we are gradually leaving the North Caucasus, including due to the fact that we are reducing military schools. The OVOKU, the Ordzhonikidze Higher Military Red Banner Command School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR named after S. M. Kirov (OVVKKU, later the North Caucasian Military Institute of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs), the Ordzhonikidze Higher Anti-Aircraft Missile Air Defense Command School (OVZRKU) were destroyed.

This year marked the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad. There is a book about OVOKU. She says: in the most difficult period in November 1942, when Manstein was sent to break through - to release Paulus, all Vladikavkaz schools were sent to the front. The boys were alerted and unloaded at the Chirskaya station. All three schools perished in the snow to prevent the breakthrough of Manstein's tank columns. We can imagine what training the cadets had and what our militia had with a two-week training. Cadets spent months, and sometimes years, preparing for a real war. They played the most important role in Battle of Stalingrad. It is not for nothing that our school, OVOKU, was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of War, and many graduates became Heroes of the Soviet Union.

After the collapse of the USSR, the Vladikavkaz School became the only base for mountain training of officers. Look at our borders. How many mountainous territories we have, ranging from the Far East to the north. Mountain training is needed everywhere. There is no such base as it was in OVOKU. There were schools in Alma-Ata, Tbilisi, but the best was in Vladikavkaz. I say it like former officer The General Staff of the Ground Forces, which inspected all combined arms schools. There were eight of them in the Soviet Union, and the best mountain training was in Vladikavkaz.

Finishing the historical part, I will note: if we achieved the legal status of the Suvorov School, which belongs to the Ministry of Defense, then we would not only transfer glorious traditions to the current Vladikavkaz Cadet Corps, but also strengthen our state. It is necessary to take into account the political situation and the significance of the region, as well as the role of officer training. I propose to revive the history and traditions of OVOKU on the basis of the current cadet corps. Another option: let the corps remain a cadet (Suvorov) school of the Ministry of Education, but at the same time - the successor of both the Imperial Cadet Corps and the Higher Combined Arms Command School of the USSR Armed Forces.

Alexander Kanshin,
Chairman of the Commission of the Public Chamber on National Security and Socio-Economic Conditions of Life of Military Personnel, Members of Their Families and Veterans

The Ministry of Defense does not eliminate itself

We are very sensitive to what we have. We are talking about pre-university educational institutions of the system Suvorov schools, Nakhimov School, cadet corps. The same applies to higher military educational institutions. Traditions and military-patriotic education are now being revived in the Ministry of Defense. It's no secret that one of the first decisions of the Minister of Defense was the return of Suvorov and Cadets to the parades in 2013. In all cities where pre-university educational institutions are located, such events were held.

The next step - by order of the Minister of Defense, the Suvorov and Nakhimov schools, the cadet corps are subordinate to the respective commanders-in-chief, that is, the chiefs, in whose interests the training will subsequently take place. Basically, all IEDs - to the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces. Ulyanovsk School - Commander of the Airborne Forces. St. Petersburg Cadet Corps - to the Deputy Minister of Defense, General of the Army Bulgakov. Maritime pre-university educational institutions, primarily St. Petersburg Nakhimov, to the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy.

Further, we made the departmental system of pre-university education more open and understandable. Currently, we are ending the enrollment of underage citizens in pre-university educational institutions. Over 1700 people have been selected. The competition for pre-university educational institutions this year is much higher than last year. This is facilitated by the fact that the Minister of Defense expanded the categories of citizens for admission to departmental educational institutions. The privilege to enroll only children of military personnel and civilian personnel, orphans, children left without parental care has been removed. From the current admission campaign all minors are admitted.

It was decided to restore the military component of training. From September 1, we plan to introduce the subject “Fundamentals military service", including drill and fire training. In the 10th-11th grades - military regional studies. IN summer period at least two weeks, and in some educational institutions even three weeks, for Suvorov, Nakhimov, Cadets, trips to specialized military educational institutions are planned. There they will be able to get acquainted with the life of cadets, get primary knowledge about the chosen military specialties.

This year, about 90 percent of graduates of pre-university educational institutions of the Moscow Region decided to enter the universities of the Ministry of Defense. The rest preferred the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

On the merits of the question.

In 2010-2011, the North Caucasian Suvorov Military School was transferred to the jurisdiction of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. However, I repeat, each school is unique for us, so we accompany any such institution even when it is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense. We still don't lose touch.

Until 2011, SKVVU was maintained in accordance with an agreement between the Ministry of Defense and the government of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. The powers to manage the educational institution were divided. Later, the parliament of the republic adopted a resolution on the transfer of IEDs to the region. Appropriate appeals were sent to the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation and the head of the republic. Further: the legislation of the Russian Federation did not allow maintaining an institution on the terms of co-financing. IN budget code two new articles were introduced (38.1 and 60). In order to solve this problem, the military department reported the situation to the president of the country and proposed either to amend the budget code to return to co-financing, or to look for new ways to co-found educational institutions of the cadet type.

only public interest

It is necessary to switch from the language of financial to state-political. The basic position is the one proposed to the society in many public speeches of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. When we set out to recreate this historic military educational institution, the situation in the North Caucasus was better. However, money and response in state structures there were few.

Now the situation is not ideal, but there is much more understanding on different levels. We are talking about preserving the continuity and military intelligentsia, which are characteristic of the Russian and, in general, Greater Caucasus within historical Russia. The withdrawal of military schools from the region, their abolition is political myopia.

Last autumn, I spoke at a large international forum in Bulgaria dedicated to the 135th anniversary of the victory in the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878. I told about the battles of two Vladikavkaz regiments of the front line on Shipka. This aroused great interest. Thus, we have a glorious military past. The fact that there is no Suvorov School, the universities of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the border troops have been liquidated is a mistake.

The approach to solving this issue should not go through numbers. If there is a state will, it doesn't matter if there are 600 or 800 trainees in the state (the question was raised how many cadets should be in the school). You don't have to ask for two or three years to fix a problem. Some decisions are made quickly, like on the battlefield, if it is politically expedient to do so.

From my personal conversations in 1998 with the president and the chairman of the government, the filling of the newly opened SVU with everything necessary began. We were not interested in money then. We pulled these things on ourselves in the hope that we would later hand it over to the Ministry of Defense. Now the exact opposite is being said.

So, there was a presidential decree on the re-establishment of the school, a detailed government decree of March 2, 2000, a directive General Staff RF Armed Forces of August 18, 1999, Order of the Minister of Defense of April 11, 2000. Received license No. 1342 dated April 2, 2010, valid until April 3, 2015, according to which the SKVVU must operate in the system of the Ministry of Defense.

In 2008, we managed, using primarily political arguments, to defend the school. Former Minister of Defense Serdyukov assured that there would be no liquidation. However, later, in 2011, all instances were ignored. Decision not brought even to the level of verbal agreement. This is an elementary, textbook procedure in the state. The military-political aspects were forgotten. The main thing turned out to be property, inventory.

The school has disappeared. Today it is necessary to create a precedent: in order to correct the erroneous decisions of the Serdyukov era, it is necessary to cancel the completely inexplicable - the liquidation of the SKVVU.

As long as traditions are not forgotten, there is aspiration, attitude, it is important to focus on restoring a unique educational institution. The Public Chamber, which has a special authority among a huge number of organizations, must resolve this issue.

Now hard work is underway a single history. The diversity of teenage educational institutions triggers the reverse process. It is wrong to take apart the Suvorov schools. The competition between law enforcement agencies creates an image that is by no means a national one. In each of them, it is proved that it is their federal agency that is the most excellent, that without them the country will simply disappear. This is absurd.

Decisions made

Based on the results of the meeting and public hearings that took place on the territory of the republic, and also taking into account the social and political significance of this educational institution in the training of military personnel from among the youth of the republics of the North Caucasus, the commission will send a letter to the Minister of Defense with a request to consider the possibility of restoring the North Caucasian Suvorov military school in its former status - under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense. The Commission of the Civic Chamber is creating a working group headed by the first deputy chairman of the commission Vladimir Lagkuev, which will monitor the situation related to the restoration of SKVVU in Vladikavkaz.

Today, graduates of the famous Ordzhonikidze Higher Combined Arms Command School named after Marshal of the Soviet Union A.I. Eremenko. with their services to the Fatherland, they continue to glorify, covered with glory, their native school.

On October 24, 25 and 26, 1981, the capital of North Ossetia - Ordzhonikidze (now Vladikavkaz) was shaken by large-scale anti-government protests by extremist and hooligan groups of local residents. To combat them in the city, whose population barely exceeded 250 thousand people, consolidated detachments and units of 3 military schools, 13 units of internal troops, 2 formations of the Soviet army, internal affairs and state security agencies were concentrated - a total of 7160 bayonets (according to as of October 27, 1981).

The cause of the events that took place in Ordzhonikidze in the autumn of 1981 should be sought in the even more distant 1957. It was then that on the territory of the Prigorodny region of the North Ossetian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic conflicts broke out between the Ingush, who returned from a thirteen-year exile in Kazakhstan, and immigrants from South Ossetia who were resettled here after their deportation.

The decision of the Soviet government to grant the former special settlers, in this case the Ingush, the right to choose their former places of residence as permanent ones turned the Prigorodny district, one of the most densely populated in the republic, into a source of constant headaches for district and regional leaders. The situation was further aggravated by the pretentious behavior of the Ingush, who returned from remote places of forced stay angry and gloomy, but in the status of illegally repressed and completely trustworthy people.

The result of criminally illiterate decisions on highest level, multiplied by an explosive ethno-psychological factor and elementary human aggressiveness, made itself felt during the period of “quiet and smoothness” of the reign of the most serene Soviet leadership, headed by Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev ...

From the report of the First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the North Ossetian ASSR B.B. Dziova at a meeting of the collegium of the Republican Ministry of Internal Affairs on December 23, 1981:

“The events that you witnessed are the result of a shallow analysis, an insufficiently critical attitude towards the events that took place in previous years. The operational situation in Ordzhonikidze and some settlements of the Prigorodny district escalated back in 1972-1973. At that time, there was an active indoctrination of the Ingush part of the population (of course, not by internationalists) in order to raise the question of separating the Prigorodny district and joining it to the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.

... Subsequently, the situation changed after a series of murders. There was information about moods, but ... vague.

... And a new murder was committed ... Here is the result for you.

During the period of the events described, the head of the Prigorodny District Department of Internal Affairs of the North Ossetian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic V.G. Gritsan reported at the same meeting:

“October 21, 1981, at night, in the territory of the village of Plievo, Nazranovsky district of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, in the courtyard of Makhriev’s house, unidentified persons killed a taxi driver OPAP-1 of the city of Ordzhonikidze Gagloev Kazbek Ivanovich, born in 1953, an Ossetian who lived in the village of Kambileevskoye of the Prigorodny district North Ossetian ASSR. On October 22, after an autopsy performed in Grozny, the body of Gagloev K.I. was taken to Kambileevskoye. The funeral was scheduled for October 24, 1981.”

... At about 10 am on October 24, 1981, the operational duty officer for the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the North Ossetian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic informed the acting head of the Ordzhonikidze Higher Military Command Red Banner School (OVVKKU) named after S.M. Kirov of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR (now the North Caucasian Military Institute of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation) Colonel N.T. Nabatov (the head of the school, Major General N.I. Ivanov was on vacation) about the likelihood of involving cadets in the suppression of possible mass unrest in the territory of a number of settlements in the Prigorodny district and Ordzhonikidze himself in connection with the funeral of K.I. Gagloev.

The forces and means of the school were brought to an appropriate state of readiness. It did not take much time, given the fact that the personnel of two of the four OVVKKU battalions (2nd and 3rd courses) were in the Irafsky district, where they assisted the village workers in harvesting corn.

In addition to the OVVKKU named after S.M. Kirov of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR, not a single part of the internal troops was deployed on the territory of the republic. The security units of local correctional and medical labor institutions did not count.

... The further events of the day took an unexpected and extremely bad turn.

“At 2 pm on October 24, 1981,” V.G. Gritsan, - a funeral procession of about 1000 people headed towards the cemetery. However, some women began to call on men, especially young ones, to carry the coffin with the body of K.I. Gagloev to the regional party committee. The inflammatory appeals led to the fact that the procession actually turned in the direction of Ordzhonikidze.

In the order of the funeral procession, there were changes that are unacceptable in North Ossetia: women and children went ahead ...

This, to a certain extent, was the reason that the barrier of the police officers was broken, and the column continued to move in the direction of Ordzhonikidze.

... The male part of the column, when breaking through the barrier, behaved aggressively, expressed threats, allowed obscene language, used physical force against police officers and old men from the Gagloev family, who prevented the procession from moving to the capital of the republic.

Having crushed other few police cordons along the way, the crowd, already numbering about 3,000 people, by 15 o'clock reached the northern outskirts of Ordzhonikidze - the village of Sputnik, where cadets of the 8th and 9th companies of the 3rd battalion (4th course) OVVKKU under the command of Lieutenant Colonel M.S. Mina and a small detachment of employees of the Leninsky District Department of Internal Affairs. Neither of them had even rubber sticks.

... A few minutes later, cadets and policemen, beaten to the blood, in torn uniforms, received an order to return to Ordzhonikidze, where now the “funeral procession” was rushing straight by no one and nothing restrained, turning itself into an evil, raging herd.

Head of the OVVKKU named after S.M. Kirov Major General N.I. Ivanov, interrupting his vacation, which turned out to be short, arrived at the school at 14.50 directly from an emergency meeting of the members of the headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the SO ASSR, from where he reported by phone to the officer on duty at the GUVV (Main Directorate of Internal Troops) of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The alarming news about the breakthrough of the participants of the “Kambileev march” through the police-cadet barrier near Sputnik and their unimpeded passage to the central, Leninsky district of Ordzhonikidze, of course, forced the republican leadership to take urgent, but, as it soon became clear, insufficiently adequate measures.

... At about 15.40, the crowd, which increased to 4,000 people, rapidly advanced into the central part of Ordzhonikidze and, having overturned the barrage lines of two companies of the 3rd and 4th OVVKKU battalions on the outskirts of Freedom Square, instantly filled it. The building of the regional committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the North Ossetian ASSR was located here. And about fifteen meters from him towered a gray stone bulk of the OVVKU.

Having ordered the coffin with the body of the unfortunate taxi driver to be placed on a marble podium, the organizers of the gathering went to the regional party committee to hand it over to the first secretary B.E. Kabaloev demand to go to the protesters. One of the main demands of the participants in the excessively prolonged funeral was the eviction of persons of Ingush nationality from the North Ossetian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, at least from the territory of the Prigorodny district.

Where exactly, and most importantly, guided by what legal acts, B.E. Kabaloev was supposed to deport the Ingush, the “protesters”, the angry inhabitants of the ill-fated district, as well as the almost thousand “patriotic” onlookers who had already joined them in Ordzhonikidze, it seems, were the least of all.

…Time meanwhile passed. The first secretary of the regional committee of the CPSU did not show up at the door of the institution entrusted to him, and the patience of the crowd began to run out menacingly: it no longer grumbled, but roared wildly.

The cadets, who had cordoned off the square for the second time, managed with great difficulty to restrain the influx of replenishment to the “rally”, mainly numerous groups of young people loitering in the city center.

... Perhaps Bilar Emazaevich Kabaloev should have left earlier. Although, as it turned out later, this would have changed little.

What happened a few minutes later, during this and the next two days on Freedom Square and not only on it?

... An unexpectedly furious assault on the building of the regional committee by a distraught crowd. “The crowd went berserk” - such words will be found in the entries of the combat operations log of the OVVKKU on October 24-26, 1981 more than once. The swift throw of the special platoon of the “Kirovites”, who literally snatched B.E. Kabaloev from the ring of completely uncontrollable rioters who squeezed him, a truly jackal reprisal against cadet Lipov, who was thrown out of the window of the second floor of the regional committee.

... The gang, bursting with anger, left the building of the regional committee together with Kabaloev, who was in a dense environment of cadets of the special platoon.

Addressing relatives, friends and fellow villagers K.I. Gagloev, the first secretary calls them to prudence: to stop the atrocities, show respect, finally, compassion for the deceased, return to the village and commit his body to the earth, as it has long been supposed to be done in accordance with Orthodox, and indeed universal traditions. In response, angry cries, whistles, cackle, threats are heard. At this time, additional forces of the “Kirovites” are hastily pouring out of the school and dispersing around the perimeter of the square - already in protective helmets, with rubber sticks and shields. The reaction of the already extremely electrified crowd is quite predictable - now its fury was concentrated on the only force capable of resisting it ...

One of the companies of senior students and a special platoon, forced at that moment to save B.E. Kabaloev from the finally pissed off “demonstrators”, having grabbed the head of the republic almost in an armful, managed to retreat to the building of the regional committee, where they barricaded themselves. The remaining units of the 3rd battalion and the 4th battalion were pressed against the walls of their school, first by a hail of paving stones (piles lying right here, nearby - they were going to lay out the alley of Prospekt Mira the day before), and soon by the many times superior enemy. The crowd thrashed the cadets with fists and sticks, and numerous women who participated in this terrible coven tore their faces with their nails.

Ivanov immediately ordered to urgently let the personnel of both battalions into the OVVKKU. A mob of many thousands, chasing the cadets, “on their shoulders” tried to break into the school, but to no avail and compensated for their tactical failure by bombarding the window panes of the “command Red Banner” with the same paving stones that she had in abundance. The OVVKKU responded with “Bird cherry” and explosive packets, which, however, caused only short-term confusion among the besiegers. And soon "Bird cherry" flew back one after another, that is, into the windows of the school, most of the glasses of which were already broken. The windows had to be screened from the inside with bed nets, cabinets, stands - they served as more or less reliable protection from the paving stones still flying from the street, the stocks of which the crowd, fortunately, soon ran out of ...

Ivanov gives three more orders. A few minutes later, the officers, along with the ensigns, received service weapons and ammunition in their hands. In the lobby, opposite the doors of the central checkpoint, a machine gunner took up his position. And an armored personnel carrier equipped with ammunition and refueled to the eyeballs drove into the “gateway” of the cargo checkpoint. If necessary, his crew had to take out the banner of the “Kirovites” from the building.

... The frustrated scoundrels mostly went in search of "shells" in the nearby city park of culture, the remaining hooligans of different ages, dispersed along the alley of Prospekt Mira, methodically broke out the bars from the few surviving benches, not immediately responding to trucks quickly entering the gates of the school.

These were cadets of the 2nd and 3rd courses of the OVVKKU, urgently recalled from the harvest from the collective farms of the Irafsky district ...

... Forty minutes later, around 01.15 already on October 25, the 1st, 2nd battalions and two companies of the 3rd battalion of the "Kirovites" simultaneously poured into the square from the gates of the cargo and the doors of the central checkpoint of the school, crashed into the crowd, stunned by surprise, cutting through her on the move in two, then they drove all this bunch into the depths of the park of culture, to the Ossetian settlement and beyond the Cast-iron bridge.

The area was cleared within 5-7 minutes. The coffin with the body of K.I. Gagloev was taken by a reinforced police squad to Kambileevskoye.

Almost half of the cadets participating in this attack did not have helmets, more than 500 (out of 800 with a little) instead of special rubber batons, had wooden bars, legs of armchairs and chairs or thick tree branches in their hands.

The acute shortage of shields had to be made up for with plywood “copies”, backs and seats, again of armchairs - chairs, trays for bakery products (in fairness, it should be noted that these “unstable protective equipment” to a certain extent turned out to be more reliable than a few plexiglass shields, like usually shattered into pieces from a strong blow with a large stone).

It is not worth drawing accusatory conclusions from this - at that “conflict-free” time, the military educational institutions of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs were provided with special protective and other professional equipment in the amount necessary for practical training and the required reserve.

By 2:00 a.m., a convoy of several ZIL-131s with the personnel of the 1st motorized rifle battalion of the Grozny escort regiment entered the square - the Kirovites received long-awaited reinforcements.

... Starting from the next day and until October 28, units and Combat vehicles Ordzhonikidze Higher Combined Arms and Anti-Aircraft Missile Schools, motorized rifle units of the North Caucasian Military District, units of internal troops: Tbilisi motorized rifle regiment, separate motorized police battalions from Grozny, Rostov-on-Don, Donetsk and Astrakhan, Pyatigorsk separate military commandant's office, Donetsk separate motorized rifle battalion. A special group of the 54th escort division, a special-purpose company of the OMSDON named after F.E. Dzerzhinsky, 8 senior officers of the Main Directorate of Internal Troops, KGB units, "external troops" and KUOS officers of the OVVKKU. And even ... "reserves", "seconded" from the next fees. The top political leadership, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Defense of the USSR will send the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR M.S. Solomentsev, Generalov Yu.M. Churbanova, F.V. Bubenchikova, A.G. Sidorova, F.I. Belousova, Yu.I. Bogunova, V.V. Dubanin, as well as the Deputy Prosecutor General of the USSR N.A. Bazhenov.

In these two days, there was an onslaught every morning and, ultimately, a breakthrough on Freedom Square for almost 6,000 (and on the 26th - and more) mobs, then repeated and futile persuasion (to disperse) and, finally, fierce fights that continued until late at night .

The backbone of the crowd is young rabble, loafers, drunkards, drug addicts, in a word, those who usually actively participate in such “events”. Almost all with sticks, many with metal rods and knives.

Mercy is no longer given by either side: they are beating evil, stubbornly, sometimes frenziedly ... Everything is rushing in a crazy rhythm: a furious counterattack of cadets-“rocketmen”, which amazed even the “Kirovites”, indescribable joy in the OVVKKU - several "batches" of straightened pieces of a thick transformer cable - a worthy replacement for the standard-issue PR-73, and the belated arrival in Beslan of a board with hundreds of units of the most necessary special equipment: the same rubber sticks, strong shields, protective helmets. ... The second crowd throw at the regional committee and the school, attempts to seize the pre-trial detention center, the building of the national drama theater, the filtration point in the suburbs of Ordzhonikidze, the arson of the Central Bank, the Vladikavkaz hotel, the Komsomolets cinema ...

Hooligans cannot be stopped either by the icy streams of water hitting point-blank - knocked down by them, they break through to fire trucks and cut the sleeves of hydrants, nor armored personnel carriers - they simply set fire to them, breaking bottles of gasoline on their bodies, pull out batteries, cooling hoses from power compartments , leaking radiators.

Only people can stop people. Noon on the 26th: the decisive phase of the special operation under the plan "Snowstorm". In fact, the First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Internal Troops of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs, Major General F.V. Bubenchikov orders to act quickly and decisively.

And then the roar of the armored personnel carrier, and with it the rhythmic blows on the shields of the batons that then shot up - the dispersal groups, outwardly unperturbed soldiers of the famous Tbilisi regiment of internal troops, crashed into the crowd. Withdrawal groups burst into the breaches made by the Tbilisians - fighters from Rostov, Grozny, cadets of the OVVKKU.

... The escort groups that completed the rout dragged the “withdrawn” to paddy wagons. They drove up one after another ... A thorough search - and to the filtration point, to Dachny.

Hundreds of barefoot fled from the square consolidated in other quarters and often “reformed” into new gangs, the number of which quickly increased - “comrades in arms” still flocked from all over the city. Replenishment at the expense of residents of other regions of the republic was excluded: from the morning of the 26th, reinforced stationary and mobile traffic police posts prevented any attempts to enter the territory of Ordzhonikidze by suspiciously large groups of citizens, except, of course, passengers of buses performing inter-district and intercity flights.

However, the city troublemakers had enough of their own “reserves” for quite a long time, almost until 11.00 on the 26th, although already in the morning of the same day they resorted to a peculiar way of sending additional forces “to the front line”: they blocked the way for buses, trolleybuses, trams and fixed-route taxis, expelled of these passengers, the bulk of whom went, as befits on Monday, to work, then, calling on the apolitical inhabitants to realize their civic duty, urged them to follow them in a “voluntary-compulsory” order. Needless to say, this recruitment did not bring any practical results ...

Toward the evening of October 26, numerous operational-military groups began to methodically smash the “rebels” who had gone on the defensive. The most fierce resistance was shown on the Hotel Bridge and near the House of Political Education, where, due to the hastily erected barricades, bricks and lit bottles of gasoline flew into the armored personnel carriers and the military, and besides, the armored personnel carriers could not overcome the rather high blockages. I had to call in the infantry fighting vehicles of the army motorized rifle units participating in the operation ...

The raids were carried out by units of internal troops, state security agencies and the police until the morning of October 27. In three days, about 800 of the most zealous rioters were detained.

According to official data, one person died as a result of injuries among those who took part in the riots. The security forces registered 328 injured servicemen, the vast majority of whom (226) were at the OVVKKU them. CM. Kirov. Injuries various kinds and degrees were received by 28 servicemen of other parts of the internal troops. The allies also got it (74 victims among cadets and officers of the Ordzhonikidze combined arms and anti-aircraft missile schools).

328 - applied for medical help. How many “non-converted” were there, who were ashamed, who considered it shameful or unnecessary?

Most of the injured servicemen had broken heads, injured lower and upper limbs, and mutilated faces.

“...If it weren’t for our school of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we would have missed many,” summed up R.M. Kabaloev.

The North Caucasian Suvorov Military School, opened in 2000 in the capital of North Ossetia-Alania, the city of military glory Vladikavkaz, is designed to continue the glorious traditions of its predecessors.

More than 100 years ago, by personal decree of Emperor Nicholas II of September 26, 1901, the Vladikavkaz Cadet Corps was created for the sons of military personnel serving or serving in the Caucasus, local nobles and children “by election of the commander of the troops”.

On September 1, 1902, the grand opening of the building took place, timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the annexation of Georgia to Russia. Classes for pupils of the first set began in temporary premises, hastily converted barracks of the 81st Apsheron Regiment. By the 1903/4 academic year, classes were held in the building of the Vladikavkaz Cadet Corps, specially built for cadets (now the headquarters of the 58th Army is located here).

VlKK held nine editions. Graduates of the cadet corps bore the title of Vladikavkaz cadet with honor. During the First World War, a graduate of the corps I. Gusakov (1912) was awarded the St. George weapon and the St. George Cross of the 4th degree. Pupils of the corps, lieutenant K. Vakulovsky, cornet V. Skorobogaty, were awarded the St. George Cross.

During the Civil War, the number of pupils of the Vladikavkaz Cadet Corps increased from 500 to 900 people: in November 1919, cadets of the Petrovsko-Poltava Cadet Corps were merged into the corps. In the spring of 1920, a decision was made to evacuate the cadet corps from Vladikavkaz to the Crimea, and in October, on the initiative of General Wrangel, the Crimean cadet corps was created from the cadets of the Vladikavkaz and Poltava corps.

The KKK settled in Slovenia, in the city of Bila Tserkva. The Serbian Ministry of War provided the corps with two three-story stone buildings. The Crimean Cadet Corps existed for 10 years. Out of his midst came major engineers, technicians, architects, doctors, teachers, professors, writers, journalists and other figures in all areas of culture.

During the Great Patriotic War, the idea arose to revive the tradition of educating youth in military affairs. The author of the idea of ​​creating Suvorov schools is the well-known Russian, Soviet military figure, General Alexei Alekseevich Ignatiev.

On August 21, 1943, the Council of People's Commissars and the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks adopted a resolution "On urgent measures to restore the economy in areas liberated from German occupation”, where a detailed program of priority measures was given to eliminate the grave consequences of the occupation. The decree emphasized that the Suvorov schools were being created in the same way as the old cadet corps, pointed out the need to create a wide network of special institutions for children destitute of the war.
