September 11 - Day of a specialist of educational work bodies of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

106

Officially, educational work in the Russian army began on September 11, 1776. On this day, the charter of the Imperial Land Noble Cadet Corps in St. Petersburg was approved. For the first time in stories In our country, the positions of educational officers were established.

Particularly great attention was paid to educational work in the troops in Soviet times. One of the main reasons for the victory of the Red Army in the Civil War was ideological work among the personnel of the armed forces of the young Land of Soviets, which was carried out by the commissars.



During the Great Patriotic War in October 1942, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR issued a decree, according to which the posts of military commissars were abolished, and the deputy commanders for political affairs (political commanders) began to perform the educational function.

So they were called until September 1991. Then the political commanders began to be called assistants to the commander for educational work, and they stopped specially training officers of educators in educational institutions.

The training of military educators was resumed only in 2002. Now officers-educators who graduated from military universities in the corresponding military registration specialties receive the qualification "Educator-psychologist".

The editorial board of Voenniy Obozreniye congratulates the officers-educators - worthy descendants of Soviet commissars and political instructors on their professional holiday.

      It's too late to drink Borjomi when the kidneys have failed.

      You need to educate children.

      Didn't you have enough mind to name the political worker differently?

        I had the last Soviet edition. We were no longer political officers, but deputies for the educational part. And the diploma listed as a civilian specialty not a "teacher of history and geography", but a "social pedagogue-psychologist", But this did not change the essence.

        I remembered:
        - What is the difference between a commander and a political officer?
        - The commander says "Do as I say!", And the political officer - "Do as I say!" smile

        And yes, in Belarus at many enterprises and institutions there have long been deputies of leaders for ideology. How efficiently they work is another question.

          educators ... receive the qualification "Educator-psychologist

          Were educators. We became teachers. Growing, however ...
          That is why it was impossible to leave the political officers? From the fact that they are constantly renaming, what, will they work differently? That the policemen were suddenly renamed the police.
          Personally, I associate the police with policemen, educators with a kindergarten, and a teacher with a school.

          At each parahodik I had a captain's assistant for the political part. So there are differences between the Pompolit Pompolit. Pompolits with the names of the seasons, I remember with a shudder. Happy holidays, health!hi

            I had one case, probably the only one for the entire civilian fleet of the USSR, we wrote off the pompolit from the ship (floating base). "Debriefing" was brutal, the captain was replaced, out of seven members of the party bureau, four were reprimanded and entered in the registration card, the deputy and I received a stricter registration in the registration card and got off well again. Although the blame was put forward to me "What right did you have to declare on the ship broadcast to the passenger Gogolkin (the former pompolit) to arrive for the transfer into the boat." And at the party commissions the question was already harshly posed "What right did you have the right to raise your hand against party power," and I blurted out like a fool, "I only know an ode to Soviet power!" Decided to ask the party committee for expulsion from the party. In general, dry the crackers. Well, I had to contact my friend, who helped me out more than once, the secretary of the Communist Party Central Committee for the fleet, Eleanor Sipre. At the party committee, I already knew what to say, "the young man is to blame, I will improve." In general, he received a stricter with an entry in the registration card from the Central Committee of the Communist Party, then a year later, thanks to Eleanor, the reprimand was removed. This is how it was to go against political officers. But my soul is pleasant.

                Really the only case.

                The captains were written off, and they were afraid to get involved with the party. We then thundered to the entire fleet. But before the collapse of the Soviet Union I was never appointed a captain.

                  Sorry, you are a capian fisherman? As far as I know, in all "cold days" it was very difficult to become a captain. Too much turnover went through you. We had constant scandals with the variety of fish. The last straw were two cases in the Namibian zone. And both with my steamboat .The price of the issue is $ 50 per ton, the tonnage of 7000 tons of transport. After these cases, we refused the services of sevkholod. We transferred them to PPR transport such as Grumant. Geyser and Pavlovo. The fish is such a monetary thing. The most important thing is not to be lazy and keep everything under your control The Georgians in Poti were masters in this business. They did not have Soviet power. This is where the mad money was spinning. Millions of dollars per flight. hi

                    He started as a fisherman in the ARPO "Ocean", then a floating base, transport (we had a fishing one, a transport, a floating base and a PR). The last 10 years before the collapse, he worked at the floating base as a chief officer, then went under the flag, there he already became a captain on the reefs. brought fruit, meat from Brazil, Argentina and Australia, fish to Africa from Europe and Walvis Bay. Now I have sat ashore for 4 years. In general, it shook the world, great times were under the Union, it's nice to remember, and it was also not bad in the commercial fleet.

                      I'm glad for you, I have only excellent sea memories. For 25 years, I "burned out" but not 75% of my salary, of course, only twice. All flights are successful. One flight even for a twin stay. Without 6 days a year. It was a fun flight, and cap with pompolite defended. Not cruise. Miracles worked and earned money, different. It was fun. hi

                    They ruined the entire fleet, I remember at the reception it was in England, there 3 Georgian fishermen froze, but mostly they stood, and they remained standing for debts. After that I never saw a single Georgian. Money made everything leftist.

                      Acceptance Ullapool, Lerwick; Weymouth, Edinburgh, Inverness? I was there 90 96 years old. Tralflot and Dolphin LTD, daughter of MTF. It's scary with Georgians, the steamers disappeared with the crews. In Murmansk, they wrote on poles, help a night of people. the sea met. The Georgians had a super Atlantic fleet and the Pulkovo meridian, all new. Tidbits, in the gangster 90s. In Lerwick, we saw the two-humped Kaliningrad base on the stones, Lunakhod under the sink, in a crevice?

                        The floating base "Pionersk" Kaliningradskaya, on the southern roadstead of Lerwick, sat down with me. "Lunokhod" near the Bressey lighthouse lies on the northern roadstead, as well as the Kaliningrad RTMS is flooded. A terrible place, I lost three anchors there.

      Education is a very important thing in a person's life! Here, for example, Navalny's folder was not brought up, there was no time, since the officer, by the way, a communications officer, graduated from the Kiev Engineering Department, so he grew up ... what has grown! And now he is rinsing the brains of young people through the prism of Anglo-Saxon propaganda and in the interests of the Anglo-Saxons!

Throughout his entire army life (22 years old), only the first political officer of the battalion in the School was remembered on the positive side, it's a pity then he resigned ...

      In the first years of the Second World War, the Germans were the first to shoot them at the slightest suspicion ..
      Only then, before the collapse and especially after the collapse of the USSR, they poured mud and slandered their very necessary work .. Now they allegedly restored, but in a cunning way, so that God forbid the liberd did not suspect anything .. That's how we live now in Russia, if only to offend and not run into op ..

          Vlad, I understand your sarcasm, but when they killed the commissars on the front line who were raising the fighters in the last attack, who took their place later? Headquarters staff, so they spread their activities and poured in oredny ... And after the Victory, the Political Administration of the USSR was crammed with the Tashkent front ... hi The same Brezhnev fought, but as a political instructor .. Who do you think he wrote a book and hanged orders? !!!!

The main reward is that the wife is not a widow and the children are not orphans. And we always have real commissars who, at a difficult moment, will say their sacred things: "Russia is great, but there is nowhere to retreat ...!"

          Average drinks But in fact, the political officer must know in advance who can piss on him and do everything to prevent this from happening. For this there is (i.e., there was) a large set of tools and methods. We had 2 punctures - one fighter, due to the fact that he was left in the squad's attire, when everyone went to the jumping camps, threw himself out the window (glory to Allalhu, he remained alive and well, but transferred); the other, already in armor and with a weapon, when he was not taken to the operation, tried to stab himself with a knife. That is, as you can see, albeit with a delay, the system worked - the unreliable ones were identified and removed in advance. And there were opposite examples: I had a radio operator Misha, a great radio operator and a good scout, but small in stature. And this depressed him - that they would not be accepted into the group when there was something serious. Well yes. You look at him - a kid, but he needs to carry weapons with ammunition, and a walkie-talkie with additional food, but more and more running, but uphill. In general, I began to take him with me to the group. And every time, when breaking away from the pursuit, I hammered him: Misha, you are a small tractor, you can do anything. He ran, puffed and dragged. And he soon realized that he was no worse than the others. And the nickname stuck - "Little Tractor". And they looked at him no longer as a small one, but as a tractor. Then he became a senior radio operator, junior sergeant. In general, I liked to "work" as a political officer - everything worked out for me, only 1 fighter was expelled, which I inherited "by inheritance" and whom I, in fact, did not really have time to recognize. And with the company commander the following relations developed: the political officer said: at night - "elephants", which means - "elephants". And calmly walked home. And then the commanders and I "worked". Eh, youth! laughing drinks And I also had a swim with weapons and hand-to-hand combat, and an inquiry, and a "part-time job" in the prosecutor's office, and I don't remember what else. I came home late, got up at 5.40, because I ran to exercise, like everyone else, with personnel. But when, a couple of months after demobilization, a fighter brings home a box of beer to my parents with the words - thank you for the service, is this an assessment or not? Well, even if it is, but I was not too lazy to go across Moscow. And when, a year later, former fighters find you in the hospital - how's that? Then, when he became a commander, his political experience was invaluable. I am very grateful to my school.

        and they knew their business well, and the officers of the watch / navigators were not the last, and in critical situations they did not give up ..
        they were normal men ... they didn’t skip ... they didn’t sit in the cabins ... they didn’t lay them down and covered them as best they could ...
        By the will of fate and in business, I had to communicate closely with many Kiev graduates ... no complaints ... only good memories ... with many I still maintain warm, friendly relations ...

          We did not have political workers as officers on watch, what else! At one time they were on duty on the ship, but the political commander decided to shield them from this difficult lot, because His officers were "heavily loaded", and they began to intercede instead of the foremen as mess hall attendants. And although the others had more duty, but as a bonus, I once, being an elder and the ship's duty officer, with great pleasure tore off the captain of the 3rd rank, the dining room duty officer, for the mess in the galley. Eh, youth ...! good soldier

    It is clear that the Bolsheviks needed a commissar in the civil war, but now there is a little different. There is no ideology in the state, and it is not established. Everything on a material basis.

      Many individuals are not stable in their worldview until old age. For additional stability, such unconscious citizens must be constantly pumped up with propaganda and the risk of punishment must be created. For example, during the Second World War, the risk for unconscious fighters is the transfer of their case to SMERSH.

      You are wrong, Free Wind (ALEXANDER).

      By the age of 20-30, a person's personality, his character is formed. But a person can learn until old age. And the worldview can also change in adulthood.

      The task of the political officer is not to correct the character, but to give political guidelines, to show the fighter the current political tasks of the state, to substantiate these tasks, to show the people's benefit from the implementation of the guidelines of the leadership, to support the state ideology, to teach the fighter how to behave in certain circumstances, for example, in relation to the local population, to foreigners, to prisoners and much more.

      The lack of understanding of what we are fighting for was a heavy burden for the Russian Imperial Army in the First World War. So, ordinary soldiers, when asked what the war was about, answered that we were fighting because somewhere far away some "Erts-Hertz pepper" was killed. The zampolit also prevents the risk of disobedience of military personnel, the risk of mutinies, especially from commanders, sabotage, treason and espionage.

      This is only because in the SA of the late period and in the modern RA there is no clear understanding of the place and tasks of the political officer. And because of this, the political officers themselves are trained at random. The zampolites, unfortunately, perceive their work as a sinecure.
      And why is there no understanding of the place and tasks of the political officer? - the class nature of our state, in which the leadership largely consists of representatives of the comprador bourgeoisie and outright swindlers, does not contribute to the interests of the people of Russia being reflected in state policy.

    The zampolit held an introductory conversation among us.
    I told an incident that happened in Germany.
    German comrades arrived at their unit.

    The fighter, on the way from the kitchen, threw the sausages into the snow, and then ate them.

          There are situations when the army turns its weapons against the authorities, or surrenders to the enemy without resistance, or demoralized soldiers scatter. This happened in the Russian army and in foreign armies.
          Such situations mean that in the corresponding units or formations there was no control over the moral and political state of the servicemen. Of course, the commanders should watch this. But who will follow the commanders themselves if not political officers? Among the personnel, it is imperative to conduct explanatory and other informational work. It is necessary to signal to the military police and to special departments about groups of dissatisfied, about defeatist sentiments, about the possibility of riots, etc. This is also included in the work of political officers. So let them scribble, if on business.

          In the civil war, in this way, many rebellions in the Red Army were neutralized, and many attempts by some Red Army commanders to go over to the side of the enemy were suppressed. The political officers carried out a huge amount of work during the Second World War. Well, if there are fair claims to the current political politicians, it means that it is necessary to improve their work, and not liquidate them as a class.

    But I was a bad political officer and I don't celebrate this holiday. It prevented the commander from living with a lot of waste, when they stole fuel and lubricants and food, sold soldiers to work, took kickbacks for written bonuses, let soldiers go on vacation for money, recruited contract soldiers for bribes. There was no reason. And so everyone knew. The special officer sat at the same table with them and drank vodka, and the prosecutor's office did not receive frail gifts for the holidays. But I am proud that not a single soldier died in my presence, in the units where I served. And everything else is lyrics.

      Well, it was necessary to bring the thieves to clean water, to lay them. Moreover, the special officers were hierarchically lower than the political officers who were directly related to the party apparatus.

      If the thefts are in the shadows, then no one will ever reveal theft. And silence, or as they say in Sicily, "omerta" is a mafia principle. This is how the mafia imposes silence on society. And the frightened society capitulates to the mafia. Always and in all cases, a beam of light must be directed into the shadow. Even if it threatens the danger from the mafia. And in another way, with the "system", with the mafia, you cannot cope.

      It may seem to you that the entire population of Western Europe is informers. But thanks to this snitching, the help of the population to the police is provided. And there are several times less serious crimes in Europe, Canada, Australia than in Russia. For example, in 2002 in Vienna there were 6 murders per year, and we have about 1200 in Altai, although the population of Vienna and the Altai Territory is almost comparable. In 2006, there were 25 thousand murders in Russia, and in the Republic of Korea - 76 murders, despite the fact that the population of Korea is only 4 times smaller than the Russian one.

      By the way, as a lawyer, I noticed long ago that those people who proudly say that they do not lay anyone down when they witness crimes are in fact cowards. Such people are afraid that if they inform law enforcement officers about the crime, the criminals will take revenge on them, and the state will not protect and thank them. But this is a topic for another discussion.

        It is a bit incorrect to compare with Korea. In Korea, the culture is Confucian. Obedience to elders under any circumstances, no freethinking. Then the Japanese taught the local population to order, an ax head off for any crime. And then their own dictators shot the violent. So they bred such a submissive breed. Our boss mocked the workers, they watched him in the evening and beat him. This is unthinkable in Korea. There, obedience is in the blood.

    I understand to teach combat work, but when they start scratching about the international situation, about what vile Americans are, they don't let blacks on the bus there, and I must hate them. Yes, I don’t care about them at all, and I wouldn’t let blacks on the bus myself, in Africa it’s still lying under a palm tree all day long. In the 90s, the fashion of converting convicts to Christianity began in the zones. Well, there are some benefits for believers, we don't work on holidays, in short, humanism. There is a full club of people wanting to be baptized. Few were refreshed with holy water, the crosses were taken away from the priest and pushed out by our way, these are the re-educated Christians. The convict told after they drank the bold water.

    Probably political instructor Klochkov would not have understood you, and that political instructor from the famous photograph called "Combat", although later turned out not to be a battalion commander, but a political instructor who literally died immediately after the soldiers rose to attack! A few seconds later, the cameraman was wounded filming the attack ... sad
    PS In general, today is another date - another anniversary of the birth of F.E. Dzerzhinsky. Do you need biography details? bully
    It is strange that on the site they talk about anyone, and no one mentioned this date! winked
