Golitsyno is a very small city. It is located on the outskirts of Moscow. This settlement still has a semi-rural appearance, although nearby is a progressive capital. The city gained fame thanks to the existence of one of the largest military educational institutions in the country. From the article you can find out the history of the university. We will also tell about other Russian institutes that produce border guards.
General information
Despite the fact that the town is located almost in the very center of the country, near the capital, a border spirit is floating in it. It is here that future officers are trained who are ready to defend the borders of the Motherland with courage and steadfastness. The frontier institute of the FSB of Russia has attracted and continues to attract several generations of young men . Once the writer Arkady Gaidar drew a plot in these places for his work. So a story appeared about the Timurites, for whom service to the Fatherland was an honor. Those entering the border institute, like these brave boys, chose hard work for the good of the country. From this land begins the road to the borders of the state. Every year in the month of June, almost the entire population of Golitsyno gathers on the parade ground in order to solemnly hold the next group of graduates of the institute on the border.
Heroism shown by students during the Second World War
In August of the 41st, soldiers of two formations were able to detain near Krasnogvardeisk, the current Gatchina, three German tank divisions on the way to Leningrad. The members of the "New Peterhof VPU border and internal troops of the NKVD" gave their lives for this. Those few teachers and cadets of the educational institution who were able to stay alive continuously defended the city for about two months. Their dedication and heroism were marked by a high state award. In 1943, the school was awarded the Red Banner for courage, stamina and courage in the battle with the Nazi invaders. Among the students of the school there are people who received the honorary titles of Heroes.
Further fate
The future Border Institute of the FSB of Russia was moved to the city of Saratov in the 40s. There continued the training of political workers and officers for the NKVD in the post-war period. In the 50s of the last century, the school was disbanded by order of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the late 60s, the country's leadership signed a special order. So the Higher Border Guard Camp was created. It was for him that a military camp and educational buildings were built near Moscow. In April 1972, the institution was renamed the Higher Border Military-Political Red Banner School of the KGB. In the 90s, the university was reorganized. So the Border Institute of the FSB of Russia began its existence. Later, he was given the official name. The institution became known as the Golitsyn Border Institute of the FSB of Russia.
