September 11 - Day of the Specialist of Educational Agencies of the Armed Forces of Russia

32
In Russia, September 11 is the Day of Specialist of the educational work of the Armed Forces. The holiday is relatively new - appeared on the Russian calendar in 2007. However, the appearance of the holiday date only 8 years ago does not mean at all that the educational service in the Army of the Fatherland itself is just as young. If we rely on the order of the State Secretary - Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, on the basis of which the Specialist Day of educational institutions of the Armed Forces appeared in Russia, then the starting order historical the point of educational work in the troops is September 11, dated 1766. It was then that the charter of the Imperial land gentry cadet corps, located in St. Petersburg, was approved.

In the charter of the cadet corps for the first time in the history of the Russian army the post of military educator is designated. We are talking about professors, educators and lieutenants (second lieutenants), educators, who are often called officers, educators. From the charter of the Imperial land gentry cadet corps, signed by Empress Catherine II.

September 11 - Day of the Specialist of Educational Agencies of the Armed Forces of Russia


Genuine signed by HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY own hand:
CATHERINE.
St. Petersburg 1766 of the year.
By the grace of God, we are Catherine the Second Empress and the Autocrat All-Russian, and so on, and so forth, and so forth.


Having attained the most deed to the benefit and welfare of Our State, various pre-existing institutions, We finally reached in an uninterrupted manner and institution of education in the State of OUR noble youth, about which only training without primary rules until now and in the Cadet Land Corps care was attached. What for the sake of, without damaging this most useful of our ancestors of our establishment, we need to back up it with a new and unshakeable foundation, that is, to establish this Corps so that military and civic science is taught in it by the very issue of a cadet, which has never been separated. as a young man, always accompanied by upbringing a decent and virtuous title, and, moreover, the fruits of our other institutions corresponded to the fruits of this in the new order of the establishment, and through this mutual help each of them to one another giving strength. According to Ours about all parts of state hardness flocking to one universal beneficent care, we have made the statute of Our Imperial Nosy Land Cadet Corps, and in it we prescribe the following non-mobile institution:
(...)
Professors in the position of educators - in the ninth.
Fourteen teachers in the same position.
(...)
For decent upbringing and education, divide them into five ages:
the first is from five and six to nine years old,
the second is from nine to twelve,
the third is from twelve to fifteen,
the fourth is from fifteen to eighteen,
the fifth is from eighteen to twenty-one.
Therefore, in each age, the pet should be three years old, and study according to the inclination and concept of science, both before the military and civil title belonging to.

About Guarantors and Subchiefs in the position of educator

Lieutenants and Sub-lieutenants in each company during exertions of the military act according to their ranks; moreover, in a company, by dividing it into two parts, with the Cadets, the same position, which is given to teachers in the second and third ages, is corrected; consequently, they cannot leave their pets for a short time, be content with they are at the same table, in a word, responsible for their behavior, upbringing and morals, to give them examples of honor and those thoughts that lead to the true virtues. In the case of the lawful absence of the Captain, the eldest by rank fulfills his position, and his place is taken by the next in his rank; therefore, for the sake of advantage and subordination, they rely upon them in rank in all, without exception.


The duties of the officers-educators in the cadet corps of the XVIII century included "promoting success for the good of the Fatherland." In other words, educational work was based on patriotic principles, as we would say now. And these principles, in one form or another, actually migrated to the modern system of educational work in military schools that are in the system of the armed forces. It is patriotic education that can be called the basis for the training of future officers, on the basis of which educational standards are formed in military higher educational institutions as well as pre-university educational institutions (Suvorov and Nakhimov schools, cadet corps).

Today, in every military district there are special educational structures, the officers of which are engaged in working with personnel. Educational functions are assigned, of course, to the teaching staff of military schools and military training centers. Psychological aid points are active in the district troops, whose specialists help recruits to adapt to the new army life. Psychological assistance in the framework of general educational work in the army is aimed at the realization that the defense of the Fatherland is an honorable duty, which, among other things, allows you to acquire additional skills, build character, the ability not only to be, but also to solve important tasks in a team setting. An important aspect of the work of military educators is the inculcation in young military personnel (future military personnel) of the understanding that the defense of the Motherland is the most important task facing a responsible and worthy citizen.



It is worth paying attention to the fact that clergy are engaged in educational work in the troops. Some of them themselves wore officer uniform a little while ago, participated in combat operations. The Ministry of Defense reports that the educational process conducted by the clergy in the Armed Forces, very qualitatively complements the classical educational process - one that is carried out in accordance with strictly statutory requirements.

The system of educational work in the army can include numerous functioning military history museums, soldiers' clubs and garrison houses of officers. Often, a young army visiting a museum of a military unit gives an opportunity to touch its traditions, which is an effective educational and educational moment.

Military educators say that educational work is also carried out in the format of meetings with veterans of the Great Patriotic War, local armed conflicts. And the effectiveness of such meetings is also hardly possible to overestimate.

“Military Review” congratulates all the specialists of educational bodies of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on their professional holiday!

      Happy holiday, political instructors and commissars!


      Talk about the spiritual education of warriors, without which there is no victory.
      History testifies that for centuries it was the Orthodox clergy that strengthened the soldiers in their military service and taught the Christian attitude to prisoners and civilians, blessed the soldiers to fight in defense of the Fatherland, inspired and encouraged the faint-hearted, comforted the wounded, offered a prayer for the salvation of the souls of those killed in the fields battles.
      We begin with the blessing of the Russian army by the Monk Sergius of Radonezh to the battle with the Tatars in the 1380 year and two schema-soldiers - Alexander Peresvet and Andrei Oslyab, who took part in the battle.
      The first official document that mentions a military priest in the Russian army is the charter “Teaching and trick of the military structure of infantry” of 1647.
      One of the earliest documents attesting to the presence of priests in the navy is a letter from Admiral K. I. Kruys of 1704 containing “A list of officers, sailors ... and other officers to people, which should be used for the perfect arming of seven galleys, one hundred brigantines ". According to the "Mural", on 7 galleys 7 priests were required, on 100 brigantine - 3 priests.
      At the beginning of the XIX century, a fairly clear hierarchy of military clergy in the Russian army took shape. He was led by the Protopresbyter of the military and naval clergy, followed by the Chief priests of the military districts, then the Chief priests of the armies, and divisional, brigade, garrison deaneries. The hierarchy was completed by regimental, hospital and prison priests.
      By this time, the conformity to military “ranks” and certain positions of military priests had been finally approved (the Highest Approved Provisions of July 24 and December 21 of 1887). In accordance with them, the Chief Priest of the Guard, the Grenadiers, the Army and Navy (later Protopresbyter) was equated with the rank of lieutenant general. Rector of the military cathedral and dean archpriest - to the rank of colonel. The priest, as already noted, was equated with the captain, company commander. The rank of lieutenant corresponded to the deacon, and the psalmist to the ensign. Salaries and bonuses for serving the military clergy relied on the same amount as the corresponding military ranks.
      Particularly solemn, festive character was the oath. The oath was made as an oath on the Cross and the Gospel to the true Emperor of All Russia, and not to an incomprehensible constitutional system.
      Explain for what and in the name of which it was not necessary. This became necessary for political officers and commissars from 1917 to the present.

      "" 11 SEPTEMBER IN HISTORY. FORT ROSS. September 11 (AUGUST 30 OLD STYLE) 1812 merchant Ivan Kuskov founded the first Russian settlement in Alaska - Fort Ross. It was generally the first European settlement north of San Francisco (about a hundred kilometers from this city) and the southernmost point of the advancement of Russian pioneers along North America. Kuskov undertook his first trip to survey the area back in 1808, and at the beginning of the next year he dropped anchor in Bodega Bay. Then, during the second campaign in 1811, he conducted a survey of the surrounding area. He especially liked the area twenty miles from the bay. This small open plateau overlooking the sea was separated from the rest of the area by several deep gorges running in different directions, so that it was easy to defend. In addition, pastures were located here, a timber was growing, there was running water - the Slavyanka River (later called by the Americans Russian) and the best climate on the coast. Although the site was formally under Spanish jurisdiction, Kuskov bought it from the Indians, paying three blankets, three pairs of pants, two axes, three hoes, and a few strings of beads. The settlement, named Fort Ross, was founded when Ivan Kuskov arrived with 95 Russians and 80 Aleuts. For almost thirty years, the fort served as a stronghold for the Russian-American company, which was engaged in the fur trade and trade on the American continent. The fort was a wooden fortress, traditional for Russian architecture, which housed all the necessary buildings. The first church-Orthodox building of the Holy Trinity Chapel in California was erected on the territory of the fort, which is one of the most important historical, cultural and religious centers of the Russian community of San Francisco. After the Russians left here, the land was resold several times to various owners, but the first buildings of the fort were preserved. Fort Ross is now part of the Sonoma State National Reserve. A museum is organized in the fortress.

    Years go by, and the political leaders do not change. Only the names change. But the speeches are the same. Yes, even the priests in the army began to pull up. For some reason, the commander’s day did not guess to enter. Or the day of the chief of staff.

      I can't even imagine why some put a "minus" on this song, because it is primarily about the veterans of the Great Patriotic War and the acceptability of generations. The famous photograph, which went down in history under the name "Kombat", after the war, it turned out that it depicts a political instructor raising soldiers to attack. Once again, Happy Holidays to all who honestly served and serve.

I wish that the basic principle of your work will nevertheless be the command principle - DO IT AS I! (i.e., by personal example) For some reason, I came across the whole service of those that are guided by the principle - DO AS I SAID! Here are those, I wish there were fewer in your ranks!

      I wonder where it came from "They scold the commander, stand behind, reward the commander, protect him with his chest." During my long service in the SA I saw many political officers, they were actually good, there were nits too. At the beginning of our officer career, our true mentor was Major Parkhomenko. Further in Belarus there were nits lieutenant colonels Kachur, PECHEN. Skherepok, Khvostikov, kennel Vakar except they did not solve anything of their selfish questions. In general, they are different, the upbringing, too, and the concept of officer's honor were understood in different ways. Who was lucky. from army life.

    Thanks to VO and to those who remember us. 24 years was a deputy politician, then an educator. You can "find fault" us or talk about our service with irony, but I think that the deputy for educational is a BIG MISTAKE . Who served and is serving at the "points" will understand me. I was both a "vest" and a "dad-mom." For the New Year, I receive a bunch of congratulations from former fighters, taking into account that these soldiers came running to the headquarters to see who is interceding dezh. chats.And when they saw my name, they knew, the northern animal came. I was helped by the experience of my term in working with the "boys". Personally, my opinion is that after the 3rd year, EVERYONE should be sent to the "troops" for one year to serve in their specialties PSS. After that being officers, they will understand what "soldier's labor" is. Yes, it's expensive, but in WWII many MARSHALS OF VICTORY went through this path.
    PS Personally, I believe that the Institute of Military Educators in units should be restored!

    "Specialist of educational work bodies of the Russian Armed Forces"

    It sounds wonderful, does not contradict the educational mission of the organs, starting with the nursery group of the kindergarten.

    Especially when the educators will be such bodies as the KGB, the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Federal District, the Federal Penitentiary Service, the Tax Inspectorate and the drug control that joined them.

    The Soviet Union on this burned down when, instead of political leaders, educators began to act on the people, when adults began to be taken for infants and schoolchildren.

    And Russia has moved along this disastrous path.

      There are specialists in working with personnel in any normal army in the world — in the USA, England, the Federal Republic of Germany, etc. They are called differently — an information service officer, personnel officer, etc. But the essence is the same. People need to work . And this should be done by specially trained people with a penchant for working with people.

    My personal opinion: the institution of political officers / educators is absolutely superfluous. There is a commander - he is responsible for everything. If there is a division of responsibility, then there comes a mess. The commander brings down all the attacks on the political officer (or how is he teasing now?), And the political officer - on the commander. Once again I want to voice my personal opinion: the commander is responsible for everything, this is enough.

      A good commander knows that the more assistants he has, the better for the unit and him personally. The commander who brings down all the attacks on the teacher is a bad commander. Not a commander at all. A translator is a shooter. A real commander is looking for a cause and eliminating it.

    waiting for the selection of sarcasm, in the comments!
    read, imbued!
    Never been a political officer officially, but ...
    In 2001 in Chechnya, when everyone washed their hands, and the full-time educators were called "anti-personnel officers", he independently asked for the post of "deputy of the lita"
    Simply, without ideology and education, there is no ARMY. And I understood that, and I also had 25 soldiers under my command and a "snotty" lieutenant (I graduated from college in April, got into battle in early August).
    And by that moment, I was in Chechnya for the second time, and besides, I managed to visit the deputy. the head of a separate republican detachment of SpNaz.
    And then I realized - without education and support, even our legendary, RUSSIAN soldier does not understand - why is he here.
    And I had to work with it, I did my own, self-employed work in good faith.
    On September 11, in 2001, I had a meeting and the first words were that the III world guys began, but we will understand this later.
    To those who like to hustle about the commissars, I can say, “You lived according to the code of conduct imposed on you, because there was no person nearby who told you how to look at things, but at the age of 18-19, you still couldn’t do it yourself.”
    Happy Holiday Commissars !!!

    I will not say anything bad about the political leaders on their holiday, just during my service there were two sayings:

    Good to be a political officer! He closed his mouth - removed the workplace.

    Three went into the bathhouse. Everyone - knee-deep ...
    The political leader has a language.
    Zampotil has a stomach.
    The ensign has hands.

    The deputy politicians ruined the Soviet army and did not allow the military to take the oath to protect the Constitutional system, thereby messing up all military personnel with themselves.

      It is immediately clear that a drunken hedgehog did not serve in the army and only heard about the "oath to protect the Constitutional system" because of drunken demobels.
      Military oath of 1978.

      I, a citizen of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, entering the ranks of the armed forces of the USSR, take the oath and solemnly swear to be an honest, brave, disciplined, vigilant warrior, strictly keep military and state secrets, comply with the Constitution of the USSR and Soviet laws, unquestioningly comply with all military regulations and orders commanders and commanders.

      I swear to conscientiously study military affairs, to take care of military and national property in every way and to the last breath be devoted to my people, my Soviet homeland and the Soviet government.

      I am always ready, on the orders of the Soviet government, to defend my Homeland - the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and, as a warrior of the USSR armed forces, I swear to defend it courageously, skillfully, with dignity and honor, not sparing my blood and life to achieve a complete victory over enemies.

      If I violate my solemn oath, then let me suffer the harsh punishment of Soviet law, universal hatred and disrespect of the Soviet people.
