(Order No. 1279 dated July 6, 2016 “On establishing the cost of educational services provided by the school for the 2016/17 academic year”)

One of the most prestigious military colleges in Russia today is the Ryazan Airborne School. In November 2018, it will celebrate its centenary; it was originally formed as the Ryazan Infantry Course. Over the course of its existence, the school has graduated several hundred thousand first-class military personnel who have defended and continue to defend the country for many years.

Ryazan Airborne School and its history (1918-1947)

RVVDKU (formerly RIVDV) today bears the honorary name of General V.F. Margelov, who put a lot of effort into making this educational institution one of the best in the country. On November 13, 1918, the Ryazan Infantry School (that’s what it was called then) opened its doors to its first students. Three years later, the institution became the owner of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee award for the courage shown by its students.

In August 1941, a decision was made to form a military parachute school on the basis of an existing educational institution evacuated to Kuibyshev. The school was engaged in training military personnel for the airborne troops, but few people knew about this; the uninitiated took it for an ordinary military unit.

In the fall of 1943, the school received an award - the Order of the Red Banner, which was awarded for the front-line successes of officers trained by the school. In 1946-1947, the current secondary school was located in the city of Frunze (now Bishkek), after which it returned to its rightful place - in Ryazan.

History of the school: post-war years

In 1958, the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union decided to reorganize the existing educational institution into the Higher Combined Arms Command School. The duration of study was increased to four years, and the diplomas that graduates received became equivalent to any document confirming higher education. The training of students remained at the highest level.

Who does the school teach?

In addition to the school itself, there is a large training center, a parachute club and an aviation military transport squadron. Cadets live in barracks-type dormitories and study in educational buildings, laboratories, complexes, and gyms. The school has its own shooting range, as well as a stadium with a sports complex. Next to the establishment there is a consumer services plant.

RVVDKU (Ryazan) trains certified specialists in three specialties and two specializations at once, adhering to the state order, which is formed by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. All programs are structured so that the duration of study for each of them is five years. Girls are admitted to the school on a general basis.

Ryazan Airborne School: faculties, departments

In total, the educational institution has three faculties: secondary vocational education - 8 (this is where you can get secondary vocational education), additional vocational education and a special faculty, where military personnel from abroad are trained. The role of the leading units of the RVVDKU is performed by platoons, departments and companies. As of 2015, there are 19 departments operating on the territory of the school.

15 out of 19 departments are military, the remaining 4 are general professional (Russian and foreign languages, humanities and natural sciences, mathematics and natural sciences, general professional disciplines). The school employs experienced specialists, among them more than 20 doctors of science and more than 150 candidates.

Extrabudgetary faculty

The school also has a Faculty of Communications and Automotive Transport, where you can get education on an extra-budgetary basis. It trains bachelors in the specialties “Automobiles and Automotive Industry” and “Personnel Management of Organizations”. The training lasts four years, the student can receive education in full-time and part-time forms.

To enter the first specialty, you must pass the Unified State Exam in the Russian language, mathematics and physics, and for the second - in the Russian language, mathematics and social studies. For each discipline, it is recommended to check with the school itself, since it may vary. The cost of annual training in both specialties has not changed since 2013. As of June 2015, it is 64 thousand rubles for full-time studies and 28 thousand for correspondence courses.

Educational process

RVVDKU (Ryazan) differs from all other military schools in that the educational process is structured completely differently here. The training is organized in such a way that all students receive not only theoretical, but also practical skills, and quite often this happens within the same lesson. There is practically no division between lecture and practical courses.

The duration of training is 5 years for cadets, and those who want to become officers will have to study a little longer - 5 years and 10 months. Cadets study for 10 semesters, at the end of each of them they must take tests and exams, this is similar to the examination session in civilian higher educational institutions.

Theoretical classes include attending lectures, writing laboratory and test papers, and attending extracurricular consultations. Practical work includes internships, group classes and exercises. From the second year onwards, all cadets must defend coursework on a topic previously agreed upon with their supervisor.

Over the entire five years of training, cadets spend more than 12 months on field trips. Every year, cadets go on a thirty-day vacation in the summer and a fourteen-day vacation in the winter. Those cadets who graduated from the school with honors receive an advantage in choosing the place where they will serve, according to the existing order.

Who can become a cadet at the school?

Admission to the Ryazan Airborne Forces School begins on the first of July every year. Young people face quite serious health requirements. Those who have not served, if they are not yet 22 years old, as well as those who are currently serving on conscription or on a contract basis (up to 25 years old) can become cadets. Even those who previously served in the army are allowed to enroll, provided that they are not yet 24 years old.

All potential cadets are required to undergo a medical examination and submit the relevant documents to the admissions committee. Active military personnel must attach a medical record to the card. It should be noted that applicants with criminal, anti-Russian, nationalist and obscene tattoos are not accepted into the school; these are its internal rules.

To enroll in the Ryazan Airborne Forces School, you must provide photocopies or originals of documents proving your identity and education, as well as certificates of passing the Unified State Exam. Candidate cadets who already have secondary education can enroll after internal examinations, which the school organizes independently.

Admission conditions: Unified State Exam

All potential students of the RVVDKU school (Ryazan) planning to study in higher education programs undergo an assessment of general educational skills, which is carried out based on the results of the Unified State Exam. To enroll in the specialty “Human Resources Management”, you must provide certificates of passing exams in mathematics (passing score - 27), social studies (42 points) and Russian language (36 points).

To study the specialty "Translation and Translation Studies" you must pass a foreign language (passing score - 22), Russian language (36 points) and history (32 points). For the specialty “Infocommunication Technologies” you will need to pass physics (passing score - 36), mathematics (27 points) and Russian language (36 points).

Those who plan to study in a secondary education program may not provide Unified State Examination certificates; the decision on enrollment will be made by the admissions committee based on other parameters. We are talking about fitness for health reasons and assessing the physical fitness of the future cadet; they will also be helped to determine the category of professional suitability without conducting any exams.

Admission conditions: physical training

The Ryazan Airborne Military School has a special status, and all its cadets must have excellent physical training. That is why applicants are required to go through a physical fitness level test, this applies to both boys and girls. If an applicant is going to receive higher professional education, he will have to take pull-ups, running and swimming (if conditions permit).

If the applicant plans to receive secondary vocational education, the same exercises are offered, but the standards for enrollment in this case are slightly higher. You are given only one chance to perform a physical exercise; the results are entered into the competition list along with data from the Unified State Examination certificates. Based on them, the decision on enrollment is formed.

Admission to the Ryazan Airborne Forces School requires the applicant to be in good physical shape, so it is best to start preparing in advance. Having diplomas, certificates, and awards in the field of sports disciplines is welcome, but this does not give priority in admission.

Educational and methodological work

The Ryazan Airborne Forces School is famous for its teachers, all of them have extensive service experience, about 150 of them were participants in combat operations in Afghanistan, South Ossetia, and the North Caucasus. Thanks to this, all cadets receive the most necessary skills for further military service. Among other things, teachers constantly conduct methodological work with their students aimed at improving the quality of education.

From other countries studied at RVVDKU: former leader of Poland V.V. Jaruzelski, President of Mali A.T. Toure, former head of the Georgian defense department L.L. Sharashenidze.
Today, the main goal of the RVVDKU is to educate a qualitatively new generation of military leadership personnel at any level, capable not of coercion, but only of personal conviction, to serve their Fatherland, ready at any moment to defend the independence, sovereignty and state interests of our great country.
94 years ago, on November 13, the glorious military institute of the armed forces of our Motherland was organized - the Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School (RVVDKU) named after Army General Vasily Filippovich Margelov.
The history of this institution began back in August 1918, when it was decided to form the first infantry courses in Ryazan to replenish the command staff of the young workers' and peasants' Red Army. On their base, they later organized first an infantry school, and later an airborne school. The birthday of the RVVDKU was November 13, 1918 - the first day when the courses began. Colonel Ivan Aleksandrovich Troitsky was appointed head of the school. It was a wartime, turbulent time, classes took place at an accelerated pace. Students were given only the very basics of military wisdom, taught to work with subordinates and handle weapons. The first red commanders were graduated on March 15 of the following year. Every last person was immediately sent to various fronts of the civil war. In total, during the time the civil war lasted, seven graduates or 499 people passed through the school.
In 1920, these infantry courses were renamed the fifteenth Ryazan School of Infantry. The duration of training immediately increased to three years. And at the end of the autumn of 1921, the infantry school was awarded the Revolutionary Red Banner of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of the USSR for the bravery and courage shown by its personnel. In 1937, the school was transformed into the infantry school of Kliment Voroshilov, one of the first Marshals of the Soviet Union. And on August 2, 1941, a military parachute school was urgently created on the basis of this school in Samara for the education and training of airborne forces. In all the papers, the new part was hidden behind the number 75021.
In November 1943, RVVDKU turned 25 years old. On the anniversary day, by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, the training center was awarded the honorary Order of the Red Banner. The document read: “For military services to the Fatherland and great success in the training and education of officers.” During the Great Patriotic War, ten valiant graduates of the school were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
In the summer of 1958, by decision of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, the Ryazan Secondary Infantry School was reformed into a higher command combined arms school. The duration of training has increased again, now to four years. Graduates of this institution could receive diplomas of higher education, but military training did not change in any way. Then V.F. Margelov, who headed the airborne troops, proposed to the top leadership of our country to merge this school with the Alma-Ata Airborne School to train airborne officers. In 1959, the two educational institutions merged. On May 1 of the same year, the first group of cadets under the leadership of Colonel Leontyev arrived from Kazakhstan. The school received its name - Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School - only at the end of their training on April 4, 1964. The Alma-Ata Military Parachute School, having become part of the Ryazan School, also trained airborne officers of our country.
V.F. Margelov carefully watched the work of the establishment. Under his sensitive leadership, the school grew and acquired an excellent educational base, and was transformed beyond recognition. Much later, in 1995, a monument to the famous general would be erected at the school as a sign of gratitude for the services of the founder of the airborne service.
In 1962, knowledge of foreign languages ​​was placed at the forefront of the training process. At the same time, the school began to accept and train foreigners. The first of them were the Vietnamese, then the Indonesians appeared. Today, children from thirty-two countries of the world study at RVVDKU! In 1968, in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of the Armed Forces of the Soviet Union, the school was awarded the Order of the Red Banner for the second time, and in 1989 it received the “Commander’s Cross” of the Order of Merit of Poland for excellent training within the walls of the military training center of this country. On July 9, 2004, by order of the Government of the Russian Federation under number 937-R, the school was for the last time renamed to the Ryazan Higher Airborne Command (Military Institute) named after Army General Vasily Margelov. Rumor has it that this was done based on numerous requests from veterans and school personnel. For excellent combat training, the school was awarded the Pennant of the Minister of Defense of our country in 2006.
This educational institution never rests on its laurels. Since 2008, the RVVDKU began training girls in a military profession called “Use of Airborne Support Units.” Women officers will command squads of parachute handlers, helping to drop paratroopers as well as military equipment on special platforms or complex multi-dome systems. Since 2011, courses for training military chaplains, as well as rabbis, imams and lamas for the navy and land army have been opened at the training center.
Today, the institution includes the school itself, a training center sixty kilometers from the city, an aviation squadron and a parachute club. On the basis of the school, dormitories were built to accommodate students, laboratories and educational buildings where classes are held, a shooting range, sports halls, gyms, for training in martial arts, airborne training, a stadium, a canteen, a cafe, a post office, a club, a public service facility, medical Center. On the territory of the school there is an Orthodox Church of Elijah the Prophet and a museum of the history of the Airborne Forces.
The school trains cadets in two specialties. The commander of a parachute landing platoon of the Airborne Forces with the additional qualification of a manager and the commander of a reconnaissance platoon of parachute landing units of the Airborne Forces with the qualification of a linguist-translator. The military institute has nine military departments (arms and shooting, tactical and special training, humanitarian and economic disciplines, materiel and repair, airborne training, command and control in peacetime, operation and driving, physical training, tactics) and three civilian departments (mathematics and physics, foreign languages, Russian language). They employ about a dozen doctors of science and several dozen candidates. The military education system is constantly being improved. Candidates undergo a rigorous multi-stage selection process, during which a conclusion is formed about the degree of suitability of a particular individual for the needs of the chosen profession. Training at the Ryazan Airborne Institute for all five years is based on the closest combination of practice and theory. Any independent work by cadets to improve personal skills is welcomed and encouraged. During their training, cadets spend more than a year in the field. And those who graduate from an educational institution with honors are given the right to choose their place of further service (unfortunately, so far within the limits of the assignment designated for the school).
