Kharkov military institutes. Military Engineering Radio Engineering Academy of Air Defense named after

At the address Svobody Square, 6 in the city of Kharkov, there is a building with a difficult fate. Initially, it was intended to accommodate the government elite of the Ukrainian SSR, but when the capital was moved to Kyiv, it was called the House of Cooperation. Its project was entrusted to the famous Kharkov architect, academician A. I. Dmitriev, who, in contrast to other buildings of that time, instead of monolithic reinforced concrete structures, decided to use brick during construction. The innovation played in two ways: the brickwork greatly slowed down construction, but, on the other hand, during the bombing, the House of Cooperation suffered much less damage than another architectural complex, Domproektstroy (Svoboda Square, 4).

As conceived by the creator, the building was to become dominant in height among the architectural ensemble of the main square of Kharkov. It was designed two wings of six floors each and the central main part, sixteen floors, topped with a high spire. By 1942, the side parts were completed, the middle remained unfinished.

In the post-war period, there was an urgent need for redevelopment and final completion of the destroyed buildings. Academician Dmitriev did not want to remake his offspring and deftly withdrew himself from participating in the project. The alteration of the right wing was entrusted to the architect P. E. Shpar. The trends of the new time gave the building a new style - the Stalinist Empire style. The number of floors was also increased - they became eight instead of six. In this building, since September 1947, Military engineering radio orders of the October Revolution and Patriotic War air defense academy named after Marshal Soviet Union L. A. Govorova.

The academy received this name only at the end of the sixties of the last century, but its history began long before that. In 1941, before the start of the Great Patriotic War, the Higher Military School of the Air Defense of the Red Army was established, which received the status of an academy. Its task was to quickly retrain and train military specialists from scratch. Radio engineering, as one of many specializations, appeared later - in 1942, but it was she who determined the profile of a higher educational institution. The success of the personnel trained here was so impressive that in 1946, artillery radar became the main educational profile of the academy. From Moscow, she was relocated to Kharkov and here, a few years later, she was included in the USSR Air Defense Forces. In Kalinin, Minsk, Kyiv, branches were created, with which communication was constantly maintained and assistance was supplied in the form of methodological materials and teaching staff.

The educational institution instantly responded to the needs of the army. In the fifties and sixties, in addition to the faculties of the anti-aircraft missile and radio engineering troops, specialists from the anti-missile defense troops and the missile attack notification troops began to be trained.

In addition to being recognized as one of the best military universities in the USSR, the staff of the academy also achieved high results in scientific research, which, in addition to its own laboratories, was supported by close ties with other research institutes and directly with the active troops.

After Ukraine gained independence, the army was disbanded, and the academy was merged with the Kozhedub Aviation School (Kharkiv Air Force University), and the building was transferred to the Karazin National University in 2004. After it passed from the hands of the military to the ownership of civilians, the building, which housed one of the best military training institutions, can finally be seen on postcards, in the news, and more recently, admire its three-dimensional model created by for the project “3D models in Google. Planet Earth".

At a historical turning point

The characteristic features of a prominent military leader and scientist are rarely perfectly embodied in one person. As if scattered unevenly in the mass various people, they only in combination create a generalized folk character of the modern defender of the Fatherland. But there are such combinations in one person. Such is Vladimir Borisovich Tolubko.

Vladimir Borisovich, leaving in 1975 to join the troops to gain experience in managing units and formations of the Strategic Missile Forces, gave his word to return to his native school in order to use the accumulated experience and knowledge in the training of highly qualified missile officers. He kept his promise.

But it was not an easy choice in his life. He was persistently offered higher positions in the structure of the Strategic Missile Forces of the USSR Armed Forces, but he took a different, perhaps unusual, non-career decision in order to fulfill the dream of his military youth.

While serving in the troops, Vladimir Borisovich constantly visited the school, in the units and formations that he commanded, cadets and officer-teachers of the school underwent military training. Therefore, he knew the situation at the school well, saw the strengths and weaknesses in the preparation of its graduates. And he had big plans to strengthen the role and place of the school in the system of military universities of the USSR Ministry of Defense, to further improve the quality and efficiency of the educational process.

However, soon life made unpredictable adjustments to these plans: the collapse of the USSR and the related division of the USSR Armed Forces between the newly formed states occurred. Vladimir Borisovich again received tempting offers from Moscow, but he does not hesitate to make a firm decision - to serve Ukraine and its people. With his inherent energy, activity, determination, perseverance, purposefulness and professionalism, he begins to solve extraordinary problems that unexpectedly arose in the established life of the school and its command. Let us indicate the two most acute of them.

One of the problems had a political connotation and was due to the fact that the interstate agreement on the division of the USSR Armed Forces assumed the preservation of common strategic types of weapons, but there was no separate indication of the belonging of military universities related to the strategic forces (in Ukraine, they included only KhVVKIURV ).

This led to the fact that the school was for some time in the spheres of influence of the Ministries of Defense of two states - Ukraine and Russia.

The Ministry of Defense (MO) of Ukraine insisted on transferring the school to its structure, and the Russian Ministry of Defense sought to leave the school in its composition, since only the HVVKIURV trained rocket officers in some unique specialties and missile systems, in particular the heaviest SS-18 missiles called "Satan" in the West. Thanks to the great authority of Lieutenant-General V. B. Tolubko in the highest military circles of Ukraine and Russia, his diplomacy and political wisdom, a compromise was found: the school undertook to complete the training of cadets of all previous sets in selected specialties and distribute them to those states that will be in them are interested.

Another acute problem that Vladimir Borisovich had to solve in those years was the preservation of specialties, scientific schools and teaching staff of one of the best in terms of qualifications among the military universities of the Strategic Missile Forces and the USSR Armed Forces, in the context of a hasty and not always thought out reform of military universities on the territory of Ukraine . This problem was compounded by two factors. First, the political decision to destroy nuclear missiles located on the territory of Ukraine, which sharply limited the need for missile officers. Secondly, most of the officers of the school were seized with confusion in connection with an unexpected historical break in the fate of the state to which they swore allegiance, and, consequently, in their fate. They faced the most difficult and multifaceted question - what to do?

The solution of these and other problems of that time was possible only under the guidance of a strong and multifaceted personality with rich life experience. Vladimir Borisovich fully possessed such qualities. The work of the command staff of the school was organized in two directions - within the school and in state authorities, primarily in the Ministry of Defense and the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

Vladimir Borisovich managed not only to maintain the achievements of his predecessors, but also to mobilize personnel for a significant improvement in all types of activities. A significant role in this was played by an atmosphere of trust and respect at all levels of management with high demands and personalized responsibility of the commanding and teaching staff. The main attention is paid to the educational process, the work on the fundamentalization, humanization and humanitarization of education is being increased, its individualization and intensification are intensifying. Computerization is becoming a priority, which includes the widespread use of computer technology and information and computer technologies in all types of classes, especially when modeling complex physical processes in various systems of rocket and space technology and technological processes during its operation and combat use. A computer training center is being created, computer classes are being opened at the departments, computer teaching and control systems are being developed. In terms of computer equipment, the school is not inferior to the best military universities in the country.

The material and technical base and training samples of rocket technology are being updated at the suburban educational and technical base and major departments, thereby improving vocational training graduates.

The quality of published educational and methodological literature, scientific research and the training of scientific personnel is improving, indicators of inventive and rationalization work, scientific publications, military scientific work of cadets and their participation in various competitions are improving.

Vladimir Borisovich creates a permanent working group of leading scientists and practicing officers, which prepares analytical reports for the Verkhovna Rada Commission on Defense and National Security with proposals for reforming the Armed Forces of Ukraine and prospects for the development of weapons and military equipment for them, including various kinds high-precision weapons, rocket and space technology. To discuss individual, most important issues, meetings are held with managers and chief designers of enterprises of the military-industrial complex.

Increased attention is paid to social issues, housing construction is expanding. By the end of 1991, the housing issue was actually resolved at the school.

All this gave its positive results: the situation in the school remained stable, manageable, businesslike. The school fulfilled its obligations to the Strategic Missile Forces and cadets, the vast majority of them did not want to leave for military universities in Russia and graduated from the school.

The rhythm of life of the departments of the school has noticeably accelerated. And this is despite the fact that Vladimir Borisovich is a People's Deputy of Ukraine (since 1990). He had to combine hard work in the Verkhovna Rada, where he was forced to spend most of his time, with the leadership of the school.

As a member of the Verkhovna Rada Commission on Defense and National Security, he took an active part in the development of the concept of national security of Ukraine and priority areas for the development of its Armed Forces (AF). He insisted on a more balanced attitude towards the unilateral destruction of nuclear missile weapons in Ukraine (the third largest in the world in terms of potential), believing that in its absence the country would go "into the shadows" and would not play a significant role on the geopolitical map of the world. History has confirmed this prediction. During those two or three days a week, mostly Saturdays and Sundays, when he was at the school, he was able to analyze the situation, especially in the cadet units and support services, hold the necessary meetings, make decisions on the fundamental current issues of the life and activities of the school, implement reception for personal matters.

Vladimir Borisovich, the command of faculties and departments carried out active work in the Ministry of Defense and other law enforcement agencies of Ukraine to retrain the school to train military personnel for them. In this regard, new specialties and specializations were opened, new curricula and programs were developed, retraining of the teaching and engineering staff was underway. This made it possible to keep the enrollment in the school at approximately the same level and thereby maintain the permanent composition of the school.

On January 20, 1992, the officers of the school (over 99%) took the military oath of allegiance to the people of Ukraine.

Thus, in a crisis situation, Vladimir Borisovich managed not only to maintain, but also to increase the material and technical base and scientific potential of the school in the interests of Ukraine.

However, the problem of the school's survival remained in the future, since the army, and, accordingly, the number of graduates of military universities in Ukraine would inevitably have to be significantly reduced. The reform of military universities in Ukraine assumed their unification.

Vladimir Borisovich, both as a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada and as an authoritative military leader, did a great job of adopting Resolution No. 49 of 19.08. Radio Engineering Academy of Air Defense named after Marshal of the Soviet Union L. A. Govorov and KhVVKIURV named after Marshal of the Soviet Union N. I. Krylov, which were among the leading military universities of the USSR Ministry of Defense. He was instructed to lead the organizational core for the formation of a new military university and its leadership.

Per a short time the organizational structure of the university, new curricula and programs were developed. The university began its activity on August 3, 1993, on September 7, 1996 it was awarded a battle flag, and on March 23, 1999 the Charter of the University was approved.

Thus, under the leadership of V. B. Tolubko, a unique multidisciplinary interspecific military educational and scientific institution was created, which provides high-quality training of military personnel for various types of troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other power structures.

In May 1995, HVU was the first among the military universities of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine to be accredited at the highest, fourth, level.

The main tasks of the university in peacetime were the training of officers of the operational-tactical and tactical levels, retraining and advanced training of officers of the troops for various types of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, training of scientific and scientific-pedagogical personnel, initial training and advanced training of teachers and organizers of the educational process in the system of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine , training of reserve officers from among the students of Kharkiv National University. V. N. Karazin. The university conducts training and retraining of military specialists of foreign states.

For effective use scientific potential at the HVU, three military scientific centers were created (then one of them - the Scientific and Metrological Center (military standards) - was separated into an independent structure), the research department of scientific problems of military education and the research department of the troops of radiochemical and bacteriological protection.

For the practical training of students and cadets in the operation, repair, combat use of weapons and military equipment, the university included a regiment for providing the educational process and a training center.

A creative atmosphere, favorable conditions for conducting the educational process, scientific, methodological and educational work, advanced training of the teaching staff have been created in the team.

Vladimir Borisovich firmly associated the quality of training of students and cadets with the professional level of the teaching staff;
false truth is the need to maintain a high intellectual potential of a military university. Therefore, he set the task of attracting the maximum number of highly qualified scientists to the university.
At the end of 1998, 115 doctors of sciences and professors, 658 candidates of sciences and associate professors worked at the university, which accounted for more than 50% of the scientists of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Compared with 1993, the number of doctors of sciences and professors has increased by 52%, and that of candidates of sciences and associate professors by 28%. Such growth became possible thanks to the painstaking work of the command to return to the university scientists who retired from the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 1989-1992, and to improve the efficiency of training scientific personnel, which was facilitated by the creation at the university of 5 specialized academic councils (3 doctoral and 2 candidate) for 14 scientific specialties.

Since 1993, the university began to publish a scientific and methodological collection "Initial-vicinal process: methodology, completion, problems" on behalf of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Then it became actually interspecies.
HVU, as part of the integration of higher military education with civilian education, made the transition to the training of military specialists at four educational and qualification levels (junior specialist, bachelor, specialist and master) in accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On Education" and others normative documents. The university took part in the development of the concept of military education as the main executor of research work, given by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

The training of military specialists with higher military-special education and with the educational and qualification level "specialist" began at the university in the 1993/94 academic year. To this end, a significant methodological work was carried out to compile educational and qualification characteristics (OKC), educational and professional programs (EPP) and curricula for all specialties and specializations, curricula and thematic plans for disciplines studied at the university. The PPP was based on the nationwide bachelor's PPP programs, which led to a significant change in the traditional officer training system that had developed at the university in previous years, and related educational documentation, as well as the organizational and staffing structure of the university.

For the first time, bachelor's degrees were awarded to university cadets after four years of study in 1997.

Thus, Colonel-General V. B. Tolubko has a considerable merit in the creation and development of the Kharkov Military University. The inspections and checks carried out under his supervision confirmed that the university adequately fulfills the task of training highly professional military personnel for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He became a recognized organizer of higher military education in Ukraine, a modern leader, distinguished by systemic and non-standard work, a sharp analytical mind, great capacity for work, high demands on himself and his subordinates, on their professional and business qualities, the ability to take responsibility and solve the most complex tasks. , the ability to see the future and constantly move forward.

Vladimir Borisovich is a prominent scientist in the field of military development and the country's military security. Has over 70 scientific works, including 6 textbooks, 1 monograph, more than 50 scientific articles, 7 copyright certificates for inventions. He is the scientific director of research works in the field of construction of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the development of weapons systems.

Evidence of the high appreciation of selfless work, recognition of the authority of a talented military leader, a prominent scientist, Colonel General V. B. Tolubko are the awards of the Motherland - the Order "For Service to the Motherland in the Armed Forces of the USSR" III degree, the Red Star, the distinction of the President of Ukraine "For Impeccable Service" III degree, distinction of the Minister of Defense of Ukraine "For valor and honor" and 14 medals of the USSR and foreign countries.
