Background

The official history of the Institute dates back to November 14, 1930, when by order of the OGPU No. 386/180, the First School of the Border Guard and the OGPU Troops was founded in Novy Peterhof, Leningrad Oblast.[2] Over the course of its long history, the school has changed names several times.

In the second half of the German Invasion of the Soviet Union, cadets from two battalions of the Novy-Peterhof Military-Political School of the Border and Internal Troops of the NKVD stopped the breakthrough of three German tank divisions to Leningrad near Krasnogvardeysk (now Gatchina). For fifty days, the few surviving cadets and teachers of the school were in continuous battles, defending Leningrad.[3]

Their heroism was marked by a high state award: on February 10, 1943, by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, the school was awarded the Order of the Red Banner for the exemplary performance of command at combat missions in the fight against the Nazi invaders. Several graduates of the military academy are Heroes of the Soviet Union.[4]

In April 1942, the educational institution was evacuated to Saratov, where in the post-war years the training of political officers for the NKVD troops continued.[5]

On December 25, 1953, on the basis of the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR No. 01173, the school was disbanded.[6]
