Higher Military School of the Ryazan Airborne Forces. Ryazan Airborne School: admission, oath, faculties, address

The Ryazan Military School was founded on November 13, 1918 on the basis of the first Soviet Ryazan infantry courses.

• In November 1921 Ryazan Infantry School for the courage and bravery of the personnel it is awarded the Revolutionary Red Banner of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee.
• 1941 (August 2) - in Kuibyshev (now Samara), on the basis of an infantry school, a military parachute school was secretly created to train military personnel of the Airborne Forces, which was hidden behind the number of military unit No. 75021.
• By the beginning of the war, the school had two battalions of cadets. They were commanded by Colonel P. D. Golovlev and Major L. I. Yagudin. The school personnel learned about the beginning of the war in the Seletsky camp during the next opening of this camp. Company demonstrations and sporting events were cancelled. A rally took place at which many cadets, Red Army soldiers and commanders spoke. They vowed to give all their strength and knowledge to defeat the enemy, to defend the Motherland and asked to be sent to the active Army. After about half a month, the school switched to shortened training periods. Classes were scheduled not for 8 hours a day, but for 10-12 hours, not counting self-training and equipment maintenance. The number of night classes has increased. New cadets selected by military registration and enlistment offices arrived at the school, most of whom had previously served in the Red Army. There were three battalions of cadets and several units of political fighters. The battalions were commanded by Lieutenant Colonel P. D. Golovlev, Major L. I. Yagudin, Major N. N. Bogdanov. On July 20, 1941, senior cadets graduated early from the school. The graduation was carried out without examinations based on the average annual assessment, and everyone issued by order of the military council of the district was awarded the military rank of “lieutenant”. Graduates were primarily sent to staff the newly formed first-priority rifle units, to subsequent formations and to reserve units to train Red Army soldiers and gain practical skills. Instead of graduates, the school was quickly staffed with cadets to a full staff, taking into account the upcoming expansion. The quality of the recruitment can be partially assessed from the book by Viktor Aleksandrovich Titov, a cadet of the school graduating in March 1942, “1000 days and nights at gunpoint”:

  ... In 1941, from Belev I went under my own power to Ryazan, to Infantry School named after. Voroshilova. The selection was varied, mainly from higher educational institutions in Moscow. Nobody wanted to be a military man; they thought that the war would not detain them for long. To enroll as a cadet at the school, personal consent was required, but no one wanted to agree to become a cadet. When, at a reception with the head of the school, Colonel Garussky, they asked my consent, I replied that I wanted to be an artist, and that I was ready to fulfill my duty to the Motherland as a private. The head of the school replied that the Motherland demands it, and I have already been enrolled as a cadet at the school...

  On October 25, 1941, the school was relocated from Ryazan to the city of Ivanovo, and on February 15, 1942 it returned from Ivanovo to Ryazan. Carrying out an operational task on the basis of NKO order No. 02011 dated October 20, 1941 on the relocation of the school to the city of Ivanovo, the personnel successfully completed a pedestrian transition over a distance of 470 km - a transition at a high disciplinary level within the specified period. Heavy property was transported on board along the Oka River to the city of Gorky

The head of the school, Major General M. P. Garussky, was awarded the Order of Lenin, the commander of the cadet battalion, Captain F. A. Alexandrov, was awarded the Order of the Red Star.
• From 1946 to September 1947, the parachute school was located in the city of Frunze, the capital of the Kyrgyz SSR.
• 1958 (June) - Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR Ryazan Red Banner Infantry School (secondary) was converted into Higher Combined Arms Command School with a four-year course of study. Graduates called it RKPU and received diplomas of higher civilian education, while military training remained at the same level. These transformations did not in any way affect the Alma-Ata Airborne School, and the Commander of the Airborne Forces V.F. Margelov proposed to the country's leadership the merger of the two schools.
• 1959 (May 1) - the first echelon of paratrooper cadets departed from Kazakhstan to Ryazan, headed by Colonel A. S. Leontyev, appointed commander Ryazan Higher Combined Arms Command Red Banner School. Only after the completion of all graduations of infantry cadets on April 4, 1964, the school replaced its sign with Ryazan Higher Airborne Command Red Banner School. Since 1959, when the Alma-Ata Military Parachute School became part of the RKPU, the school began to “forge” officer cadres for the Airborne Forces. V. F. Margelov constantly kept the school in sight and took care of it like a father. The school has grown, acquired an excellent educational base both in Ryazan and in the Seletsky camps, which have been transformed beyond recognition since the war.
• 1962 - the school switched to a new profile of education, and knowledge of one of the foreign languages ​​was put at the forefront. The admission and training of foreigners at the school began (the fourth platoon, consisting of Vietnamese, joined the 4th cadet company, and in subsequent years the company was replenished with Indonesians; cadets from 32 countries are currently training).
• 1964 (April 4) - by the end of all graduations of infantry cadets, the school was renamed the Ryazan Higher Airborne Command Red Banner School and transformed beyond recognition.

Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School. Part two. Professional Sergeants

• Part two. Professional Sergeants

Who are the current sergeants? What does their training look like? Having visited RVVDKU , I received an answer to these questions by communicating with teachers and cadets for two days, observing their everyday life and studies. In this part we will talk about contract cadets studying sergeant training for 2 years and 10 months, the so-called. professional sergeants.

Faculty of Secondary Vocational Education Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School (military institute) named after Army General V.F. Margelova (branch) of the Federal State Military Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education "military educational and scientific center of the Ground Forces "Combined Arms Academy of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation" in Ryazan was created in accordance with the directive of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation dated December 31, 2008 No. D-112 and on the basis of the staff approved by the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - First Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation dated September 25, 2009 No. 17\269 .

At the faculty, cadets are trained in the following specialties:

Specialty "Maintenance and repair of motor vehicles" qualification "technician", in nine military specialties:

Combined arms specialists intended to fill military positions as deputy commander of a motorized rifle platoon (rifle platoon, security platoon).

Specialists of parachute units intended to fill military positions - deputy commander of a parachute platoon;

Communications specialists intended to fill the vacant position of deputy platoon commander.

Duration of training is 2 years and 10 months.

Total for studying at the Faculty of Open Secondary Education in 2009-2010. 448 people were enrolled, 343 people remain to serve at the moment. Several hundred people were screened out before admission because... they showed no desire to study, but simply hoped to receive a 10-20 thousand scholarship, eat for free and have a roof over their heads. There is evidence of poor performance by military registration and enlistment offices and unit commands in selecting candidates.

During the training, another 105 people dropped out for the following reasons:

Cadets who pass the entrance examination “satisfactorily” receive a salary in the amount of 7,000 rubles, this amount does not satisfy them;

During service (by conscription or contract) in other troops there were no strict requirements regarding service, but when entering for training they were faced with demands, the need to comply with established rules of conduct, and fulfill the prescribed norms of military service;

They made a mistake in choosing their future profession and realized that military service was not their calling;

Close relatives and family members are not happy with the choice made and do not agree that training takes place in isolation from families.

Initially, C grade students received 7,000 rubles each, but at the moment the payment situation with all bonuses looks like this:

if there is at least one C grade in any of the subjects - 10 thousand;

if there is at least one B in any of the subjects - 15 thousand;

if all grades are A - 20 thousand.

Those who fail are simply expelled. The teachers very much approve of this decision, because... There is no need to drag out outright incompetents and quitters.

The training program is as follows:

At the end of the training, final state certification of graduates is carried out:

1. Final interdisciplinary exam in the specialty

General tactics

Specific tactics

Control and communications

Engineering support

RCB protection

Military topography

2. State exam in the discipline “Physical education (preparation)”

The working time schedule looks like this:

...after morning activities (getting up, exercise, washing, examination, breakfast, training), the FSF cadets leave for scheduled classes. From 9.00 to 14.00, in accordance with the class schedule, cadets are in class. After scheduled classes and lunch, they are given time to independently prepare for classes the next day. After completing independent training, from 18.40 to 19.20, planned activities are carried out with the cadets: sports work and educational work.

After completing self-training and carrying out mandatory activities, from 19.30 cadets are given personal time with the right to leave the faculty territory (departure for the city).

Since all cadets of the faculty of secondary vocational education are military personnel undergoing military service under a contract, then in accordance with Art. 244 of the Charter of the Internal Service of the RF Armed Forces is allowed to stay outside the school for up to 24 hours, and for family cadets (whose families live with them) until 7.30 the next day. Control of personnel departing from the territory of the faculty is carried out by the unit commander, the officer who controls the daily routine and the company duty officer.

At the moment, first-year (193 people) and second-year (150 people) cadets are studying. We can confidently say that only those who really want to study and serve as sergeants remain, the rest have dropped out, for example, now 43 cadets are excellent students, 128 are studying for four and five, the rest have a range of grades from "3" to "5" . I talked to the guys about why they decided to become sergeants. Many people are motivated by a good salary and social package promised upon admission, which adds up to the desire to be a military man. There are some cadets who were unsure that they would be able to study under a higher education program to become an officer, so they chose something simpler - a secondary vocational sergeant. The contract is signed for 8 years at once - 2 years and 10 months of training, then 5 years in the military. Recently an order was issued according to which a cadet who refused further studies at his own request must return to the state the money spent on his education; until this moment it was possible to quit without any consequences.

Sergeant cadets and officer cadets undergo training in the military directly at the school, commanding platoons of three-month conscript cadets. The guys’ vision of their future is very interesting: "We are the sergeants of the new army! We are the best! We will change the armed forces! We will train soldiers in a new way!". Moreover, they say this without any bragging, but as a matter of course.

I'll move on to photos and videos. On the day of my arrival, the faculty of secondary vocational education was supposed to have parachute jumps. During a year of training, future sergeants make four jumps, and the fourth is necessarily from an Il-76.

Every now and then the snow fell, so the departure was postponed and postponed. In order not to stand on their feet, the cadets rested their legs

I took these photos and videos during classes:

One of the teachers. At the moment, 60% of the school’s teaching staff is on staff, awaiting either appointment or dismissal, while the prospects are not very clear. The school needs to reach a full recruitment of three-year sergeants (according to the plan, 1,615 people) in order to retain all the teachers, but so far there are not so many candidates recruited. A real solution to the problem can only be achieved next year, when pay for military personnel is increased, and military service will regain its former prestige.

Ryazan Higher Airborne Command Order of Suvorov twice Red Banner School named after Army General V. F. Margelov- military educational institution of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

Story

• In November 1921, the Ryazan Infantry School was awarded the Revolutionary Red Banner of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee for the courage and bravery of its personnel.
• 1941 (August 2) - in Kuibyshev (now Samara), on the basis of an infantry school, a military parachute school was secretly created to train military personnel of the Airborne Forces, which was carefully hidden behind the number of military unit No. 75021.
• By the beginning of the war, the school had two battalions of cadets. They were commanded by Colonel P.D. Golovlev and Major L.I. Yagudin. The school personnel learned about the beginning of the war in the Seletsky camp during the next opening of this camp. Company demonstrations and sporting events were stopped. A rally took place at which many cadets, Red Army soldiers and commanders spoke. They vowed to give all their strength and knowledge to defeat the enemy, to defend the Motherland and asked to be sent to the active Army. After about half a month, the school switched to shortened training periods. Scheduled classes were held not for 8 hours a day, but for 10–12 hours, not counting self-training and equipment maintenance. The number of night classes has increased. New cadets selected by military registration and enlistment offices arrived at the school, most of whom had previously served in the Red Army. There were three battalions of cadets and several units of political fighters. The battalions were commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Golovlev P.D., Major Yagudin L.I., Major Bogdanov N.N. On July 20, 1941, senior cadets were released early from the school. The graduation was carried out without examinations based on the average annual assessment, and everyone issued by order of the military council of the district was awarded the military rank of “lieutenant”. Graduates were primarily sent to staff the newly formed first-priority rifle units, to subsequent formations and to reserve units to train Red Army soldiers and gain practical skills. Instead of graduates, the school was quickly staffed with cadets to a full staff, taking into account the upcoming expansion. The quality of the recruitment can be partially assessed from the book by Viktor Aleksandrovich Titov, a cadet of the school graduating in March 1942: “1000 days and nights at gunpoint” “...In 1941, from Belev I went under my own power to Ryazan, to the Infantry School named after. Voroshilov. The selection was varied, mainly from higher educational institutions in Moscow. Nobody wanted to be a military man; they thought that the war would not detain them for long. To enroll as a cadet at the school, personal consent was required, but no one wanted to agree to become a cadet. When, at a reception with the head of the school, Colonel Garussky, they asked my consent, I replied that I wanted to be an artist, and that I was ready to fulfill my duty to the Motherland as a private. The head of the school replied that the Motherland demands it, and I have already been enrolled as a cadet at the school...” On October 25, 1941, the school was relocated from Ryazan to the city of Ivanovo, and on February 15, 1942 it returned from Ivanovo to Ryazan. Carrying out an operational task on the basis of NKO order No. 02011 dated October 20, 1941 on the relocation of the school to the city of Ivanovo, the personnel successfully completed a pedestrian transition over a distance of 470 km - a transition at a high disciplinary level within the specified period.

Education

The educational process at the Ryazan Institute of Airborne Forces differs from the educational process in higher school. Education at the university is based on a close combination of theory and practice, its duration is 5 years, for officer courses (training commanders of parachute companies (battalions) and airborne service specialists) - 5 - 10 months. The entire period of study is divided into 10 academic semesters - two semesters per academic year. At the end of each semester and academic year, an examination session is held in accordance with the curriculum. The main forms of theoretical work for students are: listening to lectures, working at seminars and extracurricular consultations; To test and consolidate the knowledge acquired during the learning process, laboratory and control work is periodically carried out. The course of practical training with a platoon of cadets includes group exercises, tactical training and exercises, and internships. At the end of each course, starting from the second year of study, cadets are required to submit personal course projects; Any independent work of cadets to improve personal skills is encouraged.

During training, cadets spend more than a year on field trips. Every year, cadets are given a winter vacation of 2 weeks and a main summer vacation of 30 days.

Cadets who graduate from the school with a diploma with honors have a preferential right to choose a place of service after graduation within the limits established for the school.

An excerpt characterizing the Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School

– Yes, how can I tell you... At first, it was even interesting while my mother was alive. And when she died, the whole world darkened for me... I was too young then. But she never loved her father. He only lived by war, even I had only value for him that he could exchange me for marriage... He was a warrior to the core. And he died like that. But I always dreamed of returning home. I even saw dreams... But it didn’t work out.
– Do you want us to take you to Tristan? First we’ll show you how, and then you’ll walk on your own. It’s just...” I suggested, hoping in my heart that she would agree.
I really wanted to see this whole legend “in full”, since such an opportunity arose, and although I was a little ashamed, I decided this time not to listen to my very indignant “inner voice”, but to try to somehow convince Isolde to “take a walk” on the lower “floor” and find her Tristan there for her.
I really really loved this “cold” northern legend. She won my heart from the very minute she fell into my hands. The happiness in her was so fleeting, and there was so much sadness!.. Actually, as Isolde said, they apparently added a lot to it, because it really touched the soul very strongly. Or maybe that’s how it was?.. Who could really know this?.. After all, those who saw all this had not lived for a long time. That’s why I so strongly wanted to take advantage of this, probably the only opportunity, and find out how everything really was...
Isolde sat quietly, thinking about something, as if not daring to take advantage of this unique opportunity that had so unexpectedly presented itself to her, and to see the one whom fate had separated from her for so long...
– I don’t know... Is all this necessary now... Maybe we should just leave it like that? – Isolde whispered in confusion. – This hurts greatly... I shouldn’t be mistaken...
I was incredibly surprised by her fear! This was the first time since the day I first spoke to the dead that someone refused to talk or see someone they once loved so deeply and tragically...
- Please, let's go! I know you will regret it later! We'll just show you how to do it, and if you don't want to, you won't go there anymore. But you must still have a choice. A person should have the right to choose for himself, right?
Finally she nodded:
- Well, let's go, Svetlaya. You're right, I shouldn't hide behind the "back of the impossible", this is cowardice. But we never liked cowards. And I was never one of them...
I showed her my defense and, to my greatest surprise, she did it very easily, without even thinking. I was very happy, as this made our “hike” much easier.
“Well, are you ready?” Stella smiled cheerfully, apparently to cheer her up.
We plunged into the sparkling darkness and, after a few short seconds, we were already “floating” along the silvery path of the Astral level...
“It’s very beautiful here...” Isolde whispered, “but I saw it in another, not so bright place...”
“It’s here too... Just a little lower,” I reassured her. - You'll see, now we'll find him.
We “slipped” a little deeper, and I was ready to see the usual “terribly oppressive” lower astral reality, but, to my surprise, nothing like that happened... We found ourselves in a rather pleasant, but, indeed, very gloomy and what It's a sad landscape. Heavy, muddy waves splashed on the rocky shore of the dark blue sea... Lazyly “chasing” one after another, they “knocked” on the shore and reluctantly, slowly, returned back, dragging behind them gray sand and small, black, shiny pebbles. Farther away could be seen a majestic, huge, dark green mountain, the top of which shyly hid behind gray, swollen clouds. The sky was heavy, but not frightening, completely covered with gray clouds. Along the shore, in places, scant dwarf bushes of some unfamiliar plants grew. Again, the landscape was gloomy, but quite “normal”, in any case, it resembled one of those that could be seen on the ground on a rainy, very cloudy day... And that “screaming horror”, like the others we saw on on this “floor” of the place, he did not inspire us...
On the shore of this “heavy” dark sea, deep in thought, sat a lonely man. He seemed quite young and quite handsome, but he was very sad, and did not pay any attention to us as we approached.
“My clear falcon... Tristanushka...” Isolde whispered in an intermittent voice.
She was pale and frozen, like death... Stella, frightened, touched her hand, but the girl did not see or hear anything around, but just looked at her beloved Tristan... It seemed that she wanted to absorb every his line... every hair... the familiar curve of his lips... the warmth of his brown eyes... to keep it in your suffering heart forever, and perhaps even carry it into your next “earthly” life...
“My little piece of ice... My sun... Go away, don’t torment me...” Tristan looked at her in fear, not wanting to believe that this was reality, and covering himself from the painful “vision” with his hands, he repeated: “Go away, joy.” my... Go away now...
Unable to watch this heartbreaking scene any longer, Stella and I decided to intervene...
– Please forgive us, Tristan, but this is not a vision, this is your Isolde! Moreover, the real one...” Stella said affectionately. - So it’s better to accept her, don’t hurt her anymore...
“Ice, is that you?.. How many times have I seen you like this, and how much have I lost!... You always disappeared as soon as I tried to talk to you,” he carefully extended his hands to her, as if afraid to frighten her away, and she , having forgotten everything in the world, threw herself on his neck and froze, as if she wanted to stay that way, merging with him into one, now never parting forever...
I watched this meeting with growing concern, and thought how it would be possible to help these two suffering, and now such infinitely happy people, so that at least this life remaining here (until their next incarnation) they could stay together...
– Oh, don’t think about it now! They just met!.. – Stella read my thoughts. - And then we will definitely come up with something...
They stood huddled close to each other, as if afraid to be separated... Afraid that this wonderful vision would suddenly disappear and everything would become the same again...
- How empty I am without you, my Ice!.. How dark it is without you...
And only then did I notice that Isolde looked different!.. Apparently, that bright “sunny” dress was intended only for her, just like the field strewn with flowers... And now she was meeting her Tristan... And I must say, in her white dress embroidered with a red pattern, she looked amazing!.. And she looked like a young bride...
“They didn’t give us round dances, my falcon, they didn’t say health resorts... They gave me to a stranger, they married me over the water... But I have always been your wife.” I was always betrothed... Even when I lost you. Now we will always be together, my joy, now we will never part... - Isolde whispered tenderly.
My eyes stung treacherously and, in order not to show that I was crying, I began to collect some pebbles on the shore. But Stella was not so easy to deceive, and her eyes were also “wet” now...
– How sad, isn’t it? She doesn’t live here... Doesn’t she understand?.. Or do you think she’ll stay with him?.. – the little girl was fidgeting in place, so badly she wanted to know “everything” right away.
Dozens of questions swarmed in my head for these two, insanely happy people who did not see anything around them. But I knew for sure that I wouldn’t be able to ask anything, and I wouldn’t be able to disturb their unexpected and so fragile happiness...
- What are we going to do? – Stella asked concerned. – Shall we leave her here?
“It’s not for us to decide, I think... This is her decision and her life,” and, already turning to Isolde, she said. - Forgive me, Isolde, but we would like to go already. Is there any other way we can help you?
“Oh, my dear girls, I forgot!.. Forgive me!” the bashfully blushing girl clapped her hands. - Tristanushka, it’s them who need to be thanked!.. It was they who brought me to you. I came before as soon as I found you, but you couldn’t hear me... And it was hard. And with them so much happiness came!
Tristan suddenly bowed low and low:
- Thank you, glory girls... for the fact that my happiness, my Ice floe was returned to me. Joy and goodness to you, heavenly ones... I am your debtor forever and ever... Just tell me.
His eyes shone suspiciously, and I realized that a little more and he would cry. Therefore, in order not to drop his (and once so badly beaten!) male pride, I turned to Isolde and said as kindly as possible:
- I take it you want to stay?
She nodded sadly.
– Then, look carefully at this... It will help you stay here. And I hope it will make it easier... - I showed her my “special” green protection, hoping that with it they would be more or less safe here. – And one more thing... You probably realized that here you can create your own “sunny world”? I think he (I pointed to Tristan) will really like this...
Isolde clearly didn’t even think about it, and now she simply beamed with real happiness, apparently anticipating a “killer” surprise...
Everything around them sparkled with cheerful colors, the sea sparkled with rainbows, and we, realizing that everything would definitely be fine with them, “glided” back to our favorite Mental Floor to discuss our possible future travels...

Like everything else “interesting,” my amazing walks to different levels of the Earth gradually became almost constant, and relatively quickly ended up on my “archive” shelf of “ordinary phenomena.” Sometimes I went there alone, upsetting my little friend. But Stella, even if she was a little upset, never showed anything and, if she felt that I preferred to be left alone, she never imposed her presence. This, of course, made me even more guilty towards her, and after my little “personal” adventures I stayed to walk with her, which, by the same token, already doubled the load on my physical body, which was not yet quite accustomed to this, and I returned home exhausted, like a ripe lemon squeezed to the last drop... But gradually, as our “walks” became longer, my “tortured” physical body gradually got used to it, the fatigue became less and less, and the time required to restore my physical strength became much shorter. These amazing walks very quickly overshadowed everything else, and my daily life now seemed surprisingly dull and completely uninteresting...
Of course, all this time I lived my normal life as a normal child: as usual - I went to school, participated in all the events organized there, went to the movies with the guys, in general - I tried to look as normal as possible in order to attract my “unusual” » abilities with as little unnecessary attention as possible.
Some classes at school I really liked, some not so much, but so far all the subjects were still quite easy for me and did not require much effort for homework.
I also really loved astronomy... which, unfortunately, was not taught here yet. At home we had all kinds of amazingly illustrated books on astronomy, which my dad also adored, and I could spend hours reading about distant stars, mysterious nebulae, unfamiliar planets... Dreaming of someday, at least for one short moment, seeing all these amazing miracles, as they say, live... Probably, I already felt in my gut that this world was much closer to me than any, even the most beautiful, country on our Earth... But all my “star” adventures then were still very distant (I hadn’t even imagined them yet!) and therefore, at this stage, I was completely satisfied with “walking” on different “floors” of our home planet, with my friend Stella or alone.
My grandmother, to my great satisfaction, fully supported me in this, thus, when I went “for a walk,” I did not need to hide, which made my travels even more enjoyable. The fact is that, in order to “walk” along the same “floors,” my essence had to leave my body, and if someone entered the room at that moment, they would find the most amusing picture there... I she sat with her eyes open, seemingly in a completely normal state, but did not react to any address to me, did not answer questions and looked completely and completely “frozen”. Therefore, grandmother’s help at such moments was simply irreplaceable. I remember once, in my “walking” state, my then friend, neighbor Romas found me... When I woke up, I saw in front of me a face completely stunned with fear and round eyes, like two huge blue plates... Romas shook me furiously shoulders and called by name until I opened my eyes...
– Are you dead or something?!.. Or is this again some kind of new “experiment” of yours? – my friend hissed quietly, almost chattering his teeth in fright.
Although, over all these years of our communication, it was certainly difficult to surprise him with anything, but, apparently, the picture that opened to him at that moment “outdid” my most impressive early “experiments”... It was Romas who told me after how frightening my “presence” looked from the outside...
I tried as best I could to calm him down and somehow explain what such a “terrible” thing was happening to me here. But no matter how much I reassured him, I was almost one hundred percent sure that the impression of what he saw would remain in his brain for a very, very long time...
Therefore, after this funny (for me) “incident”, I always tried so that, if possible, no one would take me by surprise, and no one would have to be so shamelessly dumbfounded or frightened... That’s why my grandmother’s help was so strong I needed it. She always knew when I was going for a walk again and made sure that no one disturbed me at that time, if possible. There was another reason why I didn’t really like it when I was forcibly “pulled out” from my “trips” back - in my entire physical body at the moment of such a “quick return” there was a feeling of a very strong internal blow and this was perceived very, very painful. Therefore, such a sharp return of the essence back to the physical body was very unpleasant for me and completely undesirable.
So, once again walking with Stella along the “floors”, and not finding anything to do, “without exposing ourselves to great danger,” we finally decided to “deeper” and “more seriously” explore, which had already become almost like family for her. , Mental "floor"...
Her own colorful world once again disappeared, and we seemed to “hang” in the sparkling air, dusted with starry reflections, which, unlike the usual “earthly” one, was here richly “dense” and constantly changing, as if it were filled with millions tiny snowflakes that sparkled and sparkled on a frosty sunny day on Earth... We stepped together into this silver-blue shimmering “emptiness”, and immediately a “path” appeared under our feet as usual... Or rather, not just a path, and a very bright and cheerful, ever-changing path, which was created from shimmering fluffy silver “clouds”... It appeared and disappeared by itself, as if in a friendly manner inviting you to walk along it. I stepped onto the sparkling “cloud” and took several careful steps... I didn’t feel any movement, not the slightest effort for it, just a feeling of very light gliding in some calm, enveloping, shining silver emptiness... The traces immediately melted away , scattering with thousands of multi-colored sparkling specks of dust... and new ones appeared as I walked across this amazing “local land” that completely enchanted me....
Suddenly, in all this deep silence shimmering with silver sparks, a strange transparent boat appeared, and in it stood a very beautiful young woman. Her long golden hair fluttered softly, as if touched by a breeze, then froze again, mysteriously sparkling with heavy golden highlights. The woman was clearly heading straight towards us, still easily gliding in her fairy-tale boat along some “waves” invisible to us, leaving behind her long, fluttering tails flashing with silver sparks... Her white light dress, similar to a shimmering tunic, also - it fluttered, then smoothly fell, falling down in soft folds, and making the stranger look like a wondrous Greek goddess.
“She swims here all the time, looking for someone,” Stella whispered.
- Do you know her? Who is she looking for? – I didn’t understand.
– I don’t know, but I’ve seen her many times.
- Well, let's ask? “Having already gotten comfortable on the “floors,” I bravely suggested.
The woman “swimmed” closer, she emanated sadness, grandeur and warmth.
“I am Athenais,” she said very softly in her mind. -Who are you, wonderful creatures?
“Wonderful creatures” were a little confused, not knowing exactly how to respond to such a greeting...
“We’re just walking,” Stella said smiling. - We won't bother you.
-Who are you looking for? – asked Athenais.
“Nobody,” the little girl was surprised. – Why do you think that we should look for someone?
- How could it be otherwise? You are now where everyone is looking for themselves. I was also looking... - she smiled sadly. - But that was so long ago!..
- How long ago? – I couldn’t stand it.
- Oh, a very long time ago!... There is no time here, how can I know? All I remember is that it was a long time ago.
Athenais was very beautiful and somehow unusually sad... She was somewhat reminiscent of a proud white swan, when he, falling from a height, giving up his soul, sang his last song - she was just as majestic and tragic...
When she looked at us with her sparkling green eyes, it seemed that she was older than eternity itself. There was so much wisdom in them, and so much unspoken sadness that it gave me goosebumps...
– Is there anything we can help you with? – A little embarrassed to ask her such questions, I asked.
- No, dear child, this is my work... My vow... But I believe that someday it will end... and I can leave. Now, tell me, joyful ones, where would you like to go?
I shrugged:
– We didn’t choose, we just walked. But we will be happy if you want to offer us something.
Athenais nodded:
“I guard this interworld, I can let you through there,” and, looking affectionately at Stella, she added. - And you, child, I will help you find yourself...
The woman smiled softly and waved her hand. Her strange dress fluttered, and her hand began to look like a white-silver, soft fluffy wing... from which stretched out, scattering with golden reflections, another, blinding with gold and almost dense, light sunny road that led straight to the “flaming” one in the distance , an open golden door...
- Well, shall we go? – already knowing the answer in advance, I asked Stella.
“Oh, look, there’s someone there...” the little girl pointed her finger inside the same door.
We easily slipped inside and... as if in a mirror, we saw a second Stella!.. Yes, yes, exactly Stella!.. Exactly the same as the one who, completely confused, was standing next to me at that moment...
“But it’s me?!..”, the shocked little girl whispered, looking at the “other herself” with all her eyes. – It’s really me... How can this be?..
So far I could not answer her seemingly simple question, since I myself stood completely taken aback, not finding any explanation for this “absurd” phenomenon...
Stella quietly extended her hand to her twin and touched the same small fingers extended to her. I wanted to shout that this could be dangerous, but when I saw her satisfied smile, I remained silent, deciding to see what would happen next, but at the same time I was on guard, in case something suddenly went wrong.
“So it’s me...” the little girl whispered in delight. - Oh, how wonderful! It's really me...
Her thin fingers began to glow brightly, and the “second” Stella began to slowly melt, smoothly flowing through the same fingers into the “real” Stella standing next to me. Her body began to become denser, but not in the same way that a physical body would become denser, but as if it began to glow much more densely, filling with some kind of unearthly radiance.
Suddenly I felt someone’s presence behind me - it was again our friend, Athenais.
“Forgive me, bright child, but you will not come for your “imprint” very soon... You still have a very long time to wait,” she looked more attentively into my eyes. - Or maybe you won’t come at all...
– How do you mean “I won’t come”?!.. – I was scared. – If everyone comes, then I will come too!
- Don't know. For some reason your destiny is closed to me. I can't answer you, I'm sorry...
I was very upset, but, trying my best not to show this to Athenais, I asked as calmly as possible:
– What kind of “fingerprint” is this?
- Oh, everyone, when they die, comes back for him. When your soul ends its “languishing” in another earthly body, at the moment when it says goodbye to it, it flies to its real Home, and, as it were, “announces” its return... And then, it leaves this “ seal". But after this, she must again return back to dense earth in order to say goodbye forever to who she was... and a year later, having said “the last goodbye”, leave from there... And then, this free soul comes here to merge with the part of himself left behind and find peace, awaiting a new journey to the “old world”...

The Ryazan Institute of Airborne Forces inherits and continues the military glory and combat traditions of previous military educational institutions: the 1st Ryazan Soviet Infantry Course for command personnel of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army, the Ryazan Infantry School, the Ryazan Infantry, the Kuibyshev and Alma-Ata Military Parachute schools, Ryazan Higher Airborne Command Twice Red Banner School named after Army General V.F. Margelov.

In 1918, by order of the Revolutionary Government, a network of special military courses for officer training was created in the country. Among such courses, by Order of the People's Commissariat of Military and Marine No. 743 of August 29, 1918, the 1st Ryazan Soviet Infantry Course for Red Army command personnel began to be formed in Ryazan. The former colonel of the General Staff of the Russian Army, Troitsky Ivan Aleksandrovich, was appointed head of the courses, and Goryunov Alexey Ivanovich was appointed commissar.

The day of November 13 was declared an annual holiday for personnel by order of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic in memory of the completion of the formation of the 1st Ryazan Infantry Courses. Since then, this date has been celebrated as the unit’s birthday, as a professional holiday for the personnel of the Ryazan Institute of Airborne Forces.

From April to August 1919, the Ryazan courses in full force took part in the battles against the White Cossacks on the Southern Front. In 1920, the courses were renamed the Ryazan Infantry School.

In 1920-1921, detachments of cadets took part in operations to eliminate Wrangel’s landing in the Kuban, liberated Nagorno-Dagestan from White Guard troops, and eliminated Antonov’s counter-revolutionary gangs in the Tambov region.

In 1937, the school was renamed the Ryazan Infantry School.

In the battles against the Japanese on the Khalkhin Gol River and the White Finns, graduates Terekhin M.F. and Komarov N.N. became the first Heroes of the Soviet Union among the school graduates.

The war years were a comprehensive test of the school's vital activity, fortitude, courage and perseverance of its personnel. The cadets studied hard, and the graduates competently defeated the hated enemy. Thousands of students of the Ryazan Infantry performed feats in the name of the liberation of the Motherland and the peoples of Eastern Europe enslaved by fascism, 13 graduates of the school were awarded the highest title - Hero of the Soviet Union.

On November 12, 1943, the Ryazan Infantry School, in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of its formation, for military services to the Motherland and outstanding success in officer training, was awarded the Order of the Red Banner by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR.

In the fifties, the country's leadership set the task of forming strong, highly maneuverable Airborne Forces. To solve this problem, it was necessary to create a specialized military educational institution that would satisfy the need of new troops for officer personnel. In the spring of 1953, the Alma-Ata Airborne School, created in 1947, was merged with the Ryazan School, and from that moment on, Ryazan became a forge of command personnel for the Airborne Forces. In 1958, the school was transformed into a higher combined arms command school. Since 1964, this educational institution began to be called the Ryazan Higher Airborne Command Red Banner School. The cadets wholeheartedly embraced the combat traditions of the Ryazan Infantry and tried to create worthy authority for the new airborne school.

On February 22, 1968, in connection with the 50th anniversary of the Armed Forces of the USSR, the school was awarded the Order of the Red Banner for the second time for its great services in officer training. He is given the honorary name "in the name of the Lenin Komsomol".

On November 12, 1996, taking into account numerous requests from personnel and veterans, the President of the Russian Federation awarded the school a new honorary name “named after Army General Vasily Filippovich Margelov.”

On August 29, 1998, in connection with the reorganization of military educational institutions, by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, the school was renamed the Ryazan Institute of Airborne Forces.

Since 1959, when the Alma-Ata Military Parachute School became part of the RKPU, the school began to “forge” officer cadres for the Airborne Forces of the USSR Armed Forces. V.F.
