In this life, everything happens according to a chain of events. So it is with this material: from the day open doors at the institute located in the village of Holland (Sevastopol) and the photo report about the visit grew to 3 parts, I consider the last part the most interesting, but first things first.

All residents of Sevastopol have ever heard of such a village as Holland, and the fact that there is an Institute of Nuclear Energy and Industry (now a university), and in the past it was one of the most powerful educational institutions of the USSR Ministry of Defense with a rich history, one building is worth it . And if you have the opportunity to visit there, I advise you not to miss this opportunity. So the story.

The architectural complex, designed in the style of late classicism, includes five four-story buildings, interconnected by colonnades and greenhouse courtyards, perfectly taking into account the bright and colorful landscape.

Observant readers may notice that the shape of the school (university) building resembles an eagle with outstretched wings.

The palace was built for the Naval Cadet Corps, which the tsarist government planned to create in Sevastopol as one of the measures to eliminate the acute shortage of officers for the Russian navy, which was being hastily built before the First World War. A commission specially created to develop the project came to the conclusion that the most suitable place for the construction of the main building of the cadet corps is the coast of Holland Bay. Development of the construction project began in the spring of 1913.

The final working design was developed by the Russian architect Alexander Alexandrovich Vincent (1871-1940), a teacher at the Imperial Academy of Arts. After the appointment in November 1914 of A.A. as a civil engineer of the cadet corps. Vincent energetically took charge of the largest construction project. By the autumn of 1917, it was planned to complete the construction and finishing of the northern, connecting and central parts of the building. And although the pace of construction was slow due to difficulties in the delivery of building materials and frequent strikes by workers, the first intake of cadets into one junior company was nevertheless completed. They were housed in new wings and classes began in September 1916. After October revolution Due to lack of funds, the People's Commissariat for Maritime Affairs decided not to continue construction of the building.

In the mid-20s, it was decided to complete the main building and transfer it to the needs of the Naval Air Force. Direct supervision of the completion of the building was entrusted to military engineer S.I. Bazhenov and design engineer P.I. Solovyov. The author of the project, A.A., was invited to revise the design drawings of the interior premises. Vincent. However, in the fall of 1931, in order to save money, this work was stopped and resumed only in 1940. During heroic defense Sevastopol in 1941-1942. and its liberation in 1944, as a result of numerous bombings by enemy aircraft and continuous artillery shelling, the building of the former Naval Cadet Corps was badly damaged, most of the premises were completely destroyed

This is the history of this project, the author of which is A.A. Vincent, who died in 1940, never saw his plan embodied in stone. And only in the early 50s, when, by decision of the Soviet government, the formation of a new naval educational institution began in Sevastopol, a new page was opened in the history of the unique project.
In August 1951, the Soviet government decided to create another higher naval engineering school. Based on this decision, on December 15, 1951, the USSR Naval Minister issued an order on the construction and formation in the city of Sevastopol in the former. Holland on the basis of the unfinished and partially destroyed building of the Naval Cadet Corps of the Sevastopol Higher Naval Engineering School. This date is considered the day of its foundation and is celebrated annually as a holiday of the unit.

Engineer-Rear Admiral M.V. was appointed the first head of the Sevastopol Higher Naval Engineering School in April 1952. Korolev.

The second year of operation of the school, the hard work of the personnel, was marked by a joyful event: on September 25, 1953, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR decided to present the Red Banner of the unit as a symbol to the Sevastopol VVMIU military honor, valor and glory, as a reminder to each of the military personnel of their sacred duty to faithfully serve the Soviet Motherland, to defend it courageously and skillfully, to defend every inch from enemies native land, not sparing his blood and life itself. On behalf of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, on October 11, 1953, in a solemn ceremony, the Red Banner and Certificate of Excellence were presented to the school by the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Admiral S.G. Gorshkov.

In October 1956, construction was completed on the central part of the academic building, which housed a club with an auditorium, upper and lower foyers, and a fundamental library with a reading room.

In the same year (1956) the first graduation from the school took place

Fifth year of first graduation

In November 1960, the construction of the main building of the educational building was completely completed. Also a significant event was the participation of the school regiment in the military parade on Red Square in Moscow on November 7.

In 1966, a building for medical services was put into operation. The fundamental library received a new room with a reading room.

In the lower right corner there is a medical service building and a security entrance.

Created in 1951, the school has trained more than 11 thousand highly qualified specialists for the domestic nuclear navy.
For the courage shown in the performance of military duty, 12 graduates of SVVMIU were awarded the title of Hero Soviet Union and Hero of the Russian Federation, about a thousand were awarded state awards. Since 1967, the school began operating an operating nuclear reactor.

The training methods for future nuclear specialists developed at SVVMIU allowed young officers to service the nuclear installations of nuclear-powered submarines immediately after graduating from college, without additional training.
On December 15, 2001, ceremonial events dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the formation of SVVMIU were held at the school. Veterans, graduates, faculty of past years and today's students were congratulated on behalf of the Military Council of the Russian Black Sea Fleet by the Deputy Commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Vice Admiral Evgeniy Orlov.
Created in 1951, the school ceased to exist in 1992 as a result of the collapse of the USSR.

But this is not the end of the story, there will be a continuation about the former power of the school.

Sevastopol Higher Naval Engineering School- higher naval educational institution in the USSR.

School names

December 15, 1951 - Third VVMIU (Higher Naval Engineering School) 1954 - VVMIU of diving 1960 - Third VVMIU Since April 6, 1964 - Sevastopol VVMIU "Holland" - informal name, based on location in the Sevastopol region Holland.

Story

Engineer-Rear Admiral M.V. Korolev was appointed the first head of the school in April 1952. By the beginning of the first academic year - October 1, 1952 - two faculties were created. On April 30, 1953, the diesel faculty was transferred to the school from the Leningrad VVMIU named after F.E. Dzerzhinsky.

Construction of the main building of the academic building was completed in 1960. The architectural ensemble includes five four-story buildings connected by colonnades with internal greenhouse courtyards. In terms of size and volume of internal premises, the academic building is one of the largest buildings (the total volume of internal premises is more than 200,000 cubic meters) in Sevastopol.

The school was the main center for training officer engineering personnel for the ocean-going nuclear fleet. The educational institution had the strongest teaching staff. The material and technical base for training naval power engineers for the USSR nuclear fleet included its own research reactor IR-100, a full-scale onboard complex of a 2nd generation submarine nuclear power plant, full-scale simulators, thermohydrodynamic research stands, and a powerful computer center.

The school conducted scientific research on current problems of ship nuclear power, hydraulics, and thermal physics at departments and in research laboratories. Scientific and technical conferences, visiting sessions of the USSR Academy of Sciences on thermophysical and hydrodynamic aspects of the problem of safety of ship nuclear power plants, and meetings of the Scientific Council of the Academy of Sciences on ocean hydrophysics were held. Since 1965, the school published the “Collected Works of SVVMIU”.

In 1985, the Faculty of Chemistry of the Caspian Higher Naval Red Banner School named after was transferred to the school. CM. Kirov.

The school ceased to exist in 1993 after the collapse of the USSR. Over 40 years, more than 11,000 engineer officers were released from its walls; many of the graduates were awarded government awards and received state prizes. SVVMIU graduates who served in the Navy participated in eliminating the consequences of accidents on nuclear submarines. More than two dozen graduates were awarded admiral ranks.

Currently, the infrastructure of SVVMIU (maritime practice building, survivability range, diving range, etc.) is destroyed and is partially in disrepair. Part of the buildings of the former school occupies

Maritime College of Sevastopol state university– the oldest educational institution secondary specialized education in Sevastopol. Its history began almost 100 years ago, when in 1921, by the decision of the Crimean People's Commissariat of Education, the Sevastopol People's Polytechnic College was organized in the city.

Among college graduates different years – Mikhail Fedorovich Kharchenko - commander of the armored train “Zheleznyakov”, which defended Sevastopol in 1941-1942, medical instructor Evgenia Deryugina, a famous scientist in the field of turbine engines, Doctor of Technical Sciences, professor, full member of the New York Academy, who died heroically during the liberation of the city Sciences N.N. Salov, former chief builder of the Sevastopol Marine Plant S.L. Slutsker, Candidate of Economic Sciences, Associate Professor, Head of the Department of Enterprise Economics of Sevastopol State University A.G. Baranov and thousands of other respected specialists who made a significant contribution to the creation and strengthening of the economic and defense power of our country.

Today the Maritime College trains specialists mid-level (technicians) in seven specialties, in the field of navigation, operation of ship power plants, operation of ship electrical equipment and automation equipment, vehicle maintenance and repair, technical operation and maintenance of electrical and electromechanical equipment, finance, as well as programming technicians. The material, educational and laboratory base of the college complies with the Federal State Educational Standards, which was confirmed during licensing and accreditation in 2015. Training at the college is carried out at the expense of the federal budget, and students who do not pass the competition for budget places, are trained on a paid basis.

College education involves studying in the first and partly in the second year of the tenth and eleventh grade program high school, as well as receiving in-depth theoretical and extensive practical training in the chosen specialty. All college teachers have higher specialized education, have extensive practical experience and professional teaching skills corresponding to the first and highest categories. A number of disciplines are taught by graduates of graduate school, candidates of science, associate professors. Experienced senior ship mechanics, navigators and sea captains are involved in the training of future sailors.

Director of the Maritime College– Valentina Vladimirovna Manuylenko, Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences.

Specifics of training in college involves the study of interdisciplinary courses that ensure the inextricable unity of theoretical and practical training. Practical training begins in the second year and continues until completion of training. The college has the best training and production workshops in Crimea, allowing students to gain practical skills in a number of working professions during their studies. The main partners of the Maritime College in organizing swimming practice for students of maritime specialties are PJSC "Oceanrybflot" (Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky), as well as Sevastopol and Crimean fishing, transport, and ship repair enterprises - "Sea Bell", "Southern Maritime Company", "Yuzhmorservice" "and others. The vessels of these enterprises are the basis for the sailing practice of college students, successful completion which makes it possible to obtain working maritime documents and further employment in the specialty, followed by career growth up to and including the second mate or second engineer.

College students are more socially and creatively active by participating in sports, military-patriotic and cultural events various levels- from university to All-Russian. One of the recent significant victories of students of the Maritime College was the second overall team place at the Maritime Universiade 2015, held on May 8, 2015, where adult teams of the most famous maritime higher education institutions in Russia and the world famous sailing ship “Kruzenshtern” were represented.

Currently, the Maritime College trains mid-level specialists in the following specialties of secondary vocational education:

02/13/11 - Technical operation and maintenance of electrical and electromechanical equipment (by industry)

By order of the People's Commissar of Defense No. 035 dated April 1, 1937, the formation of a naval school for training command personnel for ships and fleet units began in Sevastopol.

The first intake of cadets was carried out at the end of July - beginning of August 1937. Classes were held in the open air and in unfinished premises. The cadets lived in tents pitched on the seashore, not far from the coastal battery. Simultaneously with training, using every minute of free time, the cadets worked on the construction of school facilities.

1,794 graduates of the school went through the war. 13 of them became Heroes of the Soviet Union, and 2 were awarded this title in post-war peacetime. Among the school's students are a Hero of Socialist Labor and five Heroes of the Russian Federation.

After the end of the Great Patriotic War on April 4, 1946, a decision was made to restore the Black Sea Naval School to train commanders of small ships with a training period of two years.

On April 30, 1947, in accordance with the Resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated January 27, 1947, the school was awarded the Battle Banner of the unit, under which the ChVVMU, for the first time after the war, took part in the parade of troops of the Sevastopol garrison on May 1, 1947.

April 3, 1975 by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR for great merits in the training of officers for the Armed Forces and in connection with the 30th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. ChVVMU named after. P.S. Nakhimov was awarded the Order of the Red Star.

From 1937 to 1992, the school trained more than 16,000 officers, of whom 76 graduates became admirals and generals, some became fleet commanders, heads of departments of ministries, and ministers of defense of the USSR, Russia and Ukraine. At the ChVVMU named after P.S. Nakhimov trained naval specialists in navigational, artillery, mine-torpedo, missile, and anti-submarine specialties.

In 1992, by a resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, on the basis of the former Black Sea Higher Naval Order of the Red Star School named after P.S. Nakhimov and the Sevastopol Higher Naval Engineering School, the Sevastopol Naval Institute of the Order of the Red Star was created. P.S. Nakhimov. In 2009, the Academy of the Naval Forces of Ukraine named after P.S. Nakhimov, which was the only higher naval educational institution in Ukraine until 2014.

Sevastopol Higher Naval Engineering School

In the early 50s, the Soviet Union adopted a program for the accelerated construction and renewal of the Navy, prepared by the top leadership of the Navy. Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union N.G. Kuznetsov, at the head of a group of admirals, which included I.S. Isakov, L.M. Galler, S.G. Kucherov, A.G. Golovko and others, prepared recommendations and proposals for high-quality construction a new fleet in order to solve problems in the vast oceans. The ten-year program they developed was approved by the government. New ships of various classes began to be built at a rapid pace, their technical equipment and combat power grew. In this regard, the need for highly qualified officers, dedicated to their people and homeland, including naval service engineer officers, has increased significantly. There is an urgent need to create new higher naval educational institutions to train specialists in various fields.

The Main Naval Headquarters of the Naval Forces, under the leadership of A.G. Golovko, prepared information on the required number of graduates of naval schools of all profiles for the coming decade. With regard to engineering personnel, the information stated that enrollment at VVMIOLU should be immediately increased. F.E. Dzerzhinsky at least doubled, and in two or three years - tripled. The only possible correct solution suggested itself - to create several schools of the same type.

Commander-in-Chief of the USSR Navy, Admiral I.S. Yumashev reported on the results of the development of the General Staff of the Navy to the government. The result was a resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR on the formation of new naval schools and the Order of the Minister of the Armed Forces of the USSR dated April 8, 1948 on the formation of the 2nd Higher Naval Engineering School in Pushkin, Leningrad region. In August 1951, the Soviet government decided to create another higher naval engineering school. Based on this decision, on December 15, 1951, the Naval Minister of the USSR issued an order for the construction and formation in Sevastopol in Holland Bay (the location of the school was discussed with I.V. Stalin during his visit to Sevastopol in 1947) of the Higher Naval Command Engineering School on the basis of the unfinished and partially destroyed building of the Naval Cadet Corps of the Third Higher Military and Naval Engineering School during the Great Patriotic War. This date is considered the founding day of the school and was celebrated annually as a unit holiday.

In accordance with the order of the Minister of the Navy, work began in January 1952 on clearing the territory, designing, restoring and constructing a building for the school. All design work was carried out by the Voenmorproekt organization. Construction and restoration work was carried out by the construction organization "Sevastopolvoenmorstroy".

The construction of the school was planned in three stages. First of all, it was necessary to restore the northern part of the main building, build a residential building for officers, provide transport communications and provide the construction with electricity and water. In the second stage, it was planned to restore and complete the central part of the main building, build another residential building, as well as a canteen, barracks and training workshops. In the third phase, it was planned to build the southern part of the main building, a training and laboratory complex, a barracks, residential buildings and complete the improvement of the territory of the school and military camp. Construction work was carried out by a specially allocated battalion of military builders. The construction of the first stage facilities began in February 1952, even before the technical design was approved. Simultaneously with the construction and restoration work, the formation of the school began.

After the introduction of the first staff of the school in June 1952, designed to carry out the first intake of cadets, the command was faced with difficult issues of staffing the school with a permanent staff and preparing for the start of the first academic year. Two faculties were created: diesel and steam power. By the beginning of the academic year, departments of Marxism-Leninism, theoretical mechanics and strength of materials, physics, internal combustion engines, metal technology, naval disciplines, chemistry, physical training and sports, as well as a number of individual disciplines: higher mathematics, descriptive geometry and mechanical engineering drawing, foreign languages.

On October 1, 1952, the first school year officially began. In honor of this event, a solemn parade of school personnel took place.

To provide educational process In 1952, the school’s fundamental library began to be completed, and in March 1953, a printing house was opened. From the first days of the school’s operation, construction and restoration work began in full swing. By the end of 1952, the northern part of the main building, a residential building for families of permanent military personnel and an access highway were put into operation. The following year, 1953, the northern connecting part of the main building, an apartment building for permanent families, an emergency power plant, a boiler room, a bathhouse and a laundry were built, and the construction of household facilities was carried out mainly by the school personnel. To resolve issues related to the construction, formation and deployment of educational educational work, the school was visited twice - on July 7, 1953 and June 18, 1953 - by the Commander-in-Chief of the USSR Naval Forces, Admiral of the Fleet N.G. Kuznetsov. He carefully examined the progress of construction and restoration work and, together with the school command, discussed the issues of developing a training and laboratory base and improving the educational process. On February 25, 1953, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR decided to present the Red Banner of the unit to the school as “ a symbol of military honor, valor and glory, as a reminder to each of the military personnel of their sacred duty to faithfully serve the Soviet Motherland, to defend it courageously and skillfully, to defend every inch of land from enemies, not sparing their blood and life itself.”

In connection with the increasing role of the submarine fleet in modern conditions By directive of the Commander-in-Chief of the Naval Forces, Fleet Admiral N.G. Kuznetsov No.-490ss dated April 16, 1954 3rd Higher Naval Engineering School was renamed and from October 1, 1954 became known as the Higher Naval Engineering School of Underwater Diving - VVMIU PP. The school was transferred to new states and the profile of specialist training was changed. The directive prescribed the training of engineering officers for service on submarines in the primary position of commander of an electromechanical warhead group.

During the restructuring of the school's organization, faculties were abolished and a course management system was introduced. In 1955, the creation of a laboratory of internal combustion engines began, consisting of two departments: the department of operating engines and the department of cold engine prototypes.

Since the laboratory did not have operating submarine engines, some practical classes were conducted in the internal combustion engine laboratory of the naval training detachment, as well as on the KBP-43 submarine assigned to the school. To instill practical skills in cadets, an appropriate training and laboratory base was required. Its absence was compensated for by the old ships assigned to the school. First, the overhauled destroyer Bodriy, then the submarines B-34 and S-207. After a short period of use as training stations, they were returned to the Navy.

On October 1, 1954, the department “Power installations of submarines and their combat use” was created.

The beginning of the 50s for the fleet was marked by an extremely important event - in September 1952, a government decree was issued on the creation of a nuclear fleet. Already in 1954, shipbuilding work was in full swing and two stands were created on the basis of the first nuclear power plant in Obninsk - analogues of the power plants of future nuclear submarines using water and liquid metal coolants. By directive of the head of VVMIU, new academic disciplines were introduced at VVMIU PP in 1956. The Department of Electrical Equipment of Submarines introduced two new courses: “Theory of Automatic Control” and “Elements of Automation Systems.” This year, at the departments of submarine power plants and thermal engines, new special courses began to be taught: “Nuclear power plants of submarines”, Nuclear reactors and steam generators of nuclear power plants”, “Steam turbine plants”.

On June 1, 1956, in a solemn ceremony, the head of the Naval Educational Institutions of the Navy presented the first graduates of the Higher Naval Engineering School of Underwater Diving with diplomas of engineers and officer's shoulder straps with daggers as a symbol of belonging to the glorious officer corps of the Soviet Navy.

In 1956, the school was allowed to open an adjunct course, which made it possible to organize active and extensive training of scientific and pedagogical personnel by attracting capable young officers from the fleets. Another important event in 1956 was the order of the head of the VMUZ on the organization at the school of training mechanical engineers for submarines with special power plants. By the beginning of the 1956–1957 academic year, all excellent students who wanted to serve on the new boats were asked to write reports, although the content of the concept “new boats” was kept strictly secret and not disclosed.

After a special survey conducted by a special department, 30 cadets were selected. A special training group was formed from them, and new courses began to be taught: “Nuclear power plants of submarines”, “Nuclear reactors and steam generators”, “Steam turbine plants”, “Dosimetry”. Much attention was paid to practical classes, laboratory and computational and graphic work, as well as course design on new topics. The graduates of this special group were the first to do theses on topics related to submarine nuclear power.

Among the graduates of 1958 (the third class of VVMIU PP), thirty young lieutenants received diplomas with the qualification “mechanical engineer” in the specialty “Special power plants of submarines”, and thus, the class of 1958 can officially be considered the first graduation of lieutenant engineers for nuclear submarines.

All work to create the educational and laboratory base necessary to support the educational process during 1955–1956. were carried out mainly by the personnel of departments and laboratories.

The cadets built a 100-meter shooting range, not provided for by the master plan. This provided the opportunity to conduct fire training classes with officers and senior officers of the school, organize work on the development of shooting sports and conduct classes, conduct shooting competitions and prepare national shooting teams for participation in various competitions.

In 1958, the course system for organizing the educational process and the management of educational units were abolished. Instead, two faculties were created: diesel and

electrical engineering, as well as a number of departments in new areas of training for naval engineers. During the transition to the faculty control system, several new departments of a special profile were created: “Nuclear power plants of submarines and their combat use”, “Automatic control of power plants of submarines”, “Nuclear reactors and steam generators of nuclear power plants of submarines”. To ensure practical and laboratory work of the departments, a general faculty laboratory was created. In May 1960, by decision of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, a special faculty was organized on the basis of four special departments - the Faculty of Nuclear Power Plants.

In July 1957, by order of the commands of the Black Sea Fleet, the submarine M-113 XII series was transferred to the school for training purposes. On August 17, 1957, it was lifted onto the wall, cut into six parts and transported by trailers to the construction site. In March 1958, with the help of the department and a team of workers from the Nikolaev ship commissioning base, the construction and installation of this unique complex survivability control system was completed. In 1959–1960, the laboratory building was built by the school personnel. On the basis of this complex laboratory, in August 1960, a joint department of theory, design, and survivability of submarine control was created - TUZHU PL.

In 1962, a laboratory of submarine control simulators came into operation, which not only made it possible to provide all practical training for cadets in the TUZHU submarine course, but also provided great assistance to the fleet, providing training for personnel of the 153rd Submarine Brigade of the Black Sea Fleet. Firefighting and diving ranges were built - the best in the system of educational institutions of the Navy. According to the tactical and technical specifications developed by the department, a 20-meter-high diving tower was installed on the basis of the durable hull of the type “M” submarine of the XV series by the forces of Marine Plant No. 13 of the Navy to practice deep-sea diving and exit from an emergency submarine.

In 1962, the first operating steam turbine installation, consisting of a turbogenerator and a steam boiler, was put into operation, which made it possible to organize systematic practical training for cadets in the operation and repair of steam power equipment of a submarine. The existing installation was installed and put into operation by engineering and laboratory staff.

On August 13, 1960, the department of electrical equipment of submarines was divided into two independent departments: electric drives of submarines and electric power systems of submarines. At the Department of Nuclear Power Plants in the 1966–1967 academic year, the Ucheba-75 (MGR-154) simulator for controlling submarine nuclear power plants was installed and put into operation. In 1970, the “Pult-70” (MTR-554) simulator for controlling nuclear power plants was installed and included in the educational process. In the same year, the development of documentation and construction of the Bort-70 laboratory with an operating power plant began. On August 12, 1972, by order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, this laboratory was included in the educational process to develop the practical skills of cadets in servicing the nuclear power plant of a submarine.

At the Department of Nuclear Reactors, the UT-2 computer-based simulator for controlling a nuclear reactor and an electronic simulator of neutronic processes in the Sigma nuclear reactor were developed, installed and put into operation. At the Department of Automatic Control and Monitoring of Ship Power Plants, a laboratory of control and protection systems was created, which is a comprehensive complex consisting of a double-sided, full-scale simulator for second-generation submarine control systems and twelve small-sized simulators, which made it possible to conduct practical exercises and training as part of one classroom at high load cadets.

On April 16, 1964, in accordance with the Directive of the General Staff of the Navy No.-OMU(3)/701556, the Third Higher Military - Naval Engineering School was renamed the Sevastopol Higher Naval Engineering School. Work at the school was enriched with new ideas and the content of scientific and methodological work. Scientific-methodological and scientific-practical conferences of teaching staff on topical issues of training and education of cadets have become regular. In 1971–1972, conferences discussed ways to further improve the operational training of school graduates, improve the organization and quality of the new intake, improve the educational process, increase the efficiency of teaching, improve quality indicators of academic performance, and strengthen military discipline. Work was launched to comprehensively summarize the experience of service of school graduates in the fleets based on an analysis of their practical activities and taking into account the requests of the fleets regarding the level of their preparedness. During this period, issues of operational training of cadets occupied a special place in the practice of training and education. The park of simulators was expanded and existing installations, new forms of classes, training and exercises were developed in order to most effectively master the issues of operating modern complex ship equipment by cadets. But the most important element of operational training has always been shipboard practice, especially the participation of cadets in long sea voyages of ships. In 1969, by decision of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, for the first time several third-year classes of the school were in full force participated in a long-distance sea voyage along the route Murmansk - North Atlantic - Cuba - West Africa - Murmansk.

All these years the school continued to improve. In 1965, the cadet canteen building was built. An apartment building for families of military personnel and school employees, a district boiler house and a boat depot were put into operation. In 1966, a two-story building for the medical service of the school was put into operation. New spacious premises for a reading room, department fiction, bibliography and acquisition departments, educational fund storage facilities received a fundamental library. In 1977, the fourth dormitory building came into operation - a five-story hotel-type dormitory for senior cadets, providing for the accommodation of personnel of one company within one floor, in separate rooms for 3-4 people. In the common areas of the company, gymnastic equipment, table tennis and billiards tables were installed. A consumer services complex was created - a complex of services, including shops equipped with modern facilities, buffets, a bath and laundry service, a hairdresser, a shoe repair shop, a sewing workshop, a cadet cafe, and the Brigantine club-cafe. The sports complex was reconstructed and expanded, making it possible to engage in any kind of sports not only during compulsory physical training classes, but also during leisure hours.

Restoration work continued to restore the original appearance of the facade of the main building of the school, which was declared an architectural monument subject to state protection. The school's newly redesigned parade ground in 1981 was decorated with grandstands made of granite and marble. In 1982, an underground passage connecting the residential campus with the territory of educational buildings was put into operation. Extensive work was carried out on landscaping the school.

From the very beginning of the creation of the Sevastopol VVMIU, a course was set for rapid development and strengthening of its scientific potential. A strategy for creating a short time a unique scientific and experimental base, capable scientific teams have been formed and intensive research has been launched in many current and promising areas.

One of the largest laboratories of the school was the Bort-70 complex, which presented almost all the operating equipment of the power plant, auxiliary mechanisms, devices and systems of the Project 670 nuclear submarine. The real pride of the scientific and experimental base of the school was the IR nuclear training and research complex – 100. Considering that in the USSR, besides the Russian Federation, there were research reactors in only two of the 15 republics, the very fact of the construction of IR – 100 at the Naval Engineering School, and even in Crimea, was an exceptional event. In terms of physical and instrumentation, the laboratory had the capabilities of a very good scientific research institute. In 1979, by the Directive of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, the Problem Research Laboratory for Explosion and Fire Safety of Ships was created in the Sevastopol VVMIU. The full-scale hull of a diesel submarine and the titanium compartment of a Project 705 nuclear submarine were used as experimental stands for the research laboratory.

In 1983, in accordance with the order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, the Sevastopol VVMIU began training specialists for the chemical services of the fleet. The first year of study included cadets who studied general scientific and general engineering disciplines according to the programs of the Faculty of Chemistry. In 1985, the Faculty of Chemistry was transferred to the school from the Caspian Higher Naval Red Banner School named after. CM. Kirov.

Relocated from Baku, the Faculty of Chemistry consisted of three departments: the department of protection against weapons of mass destruction; Department of Dosimetry and Radiation Safety; Department of Radiochemistry and Air Regeneration. The department staff and 4th and 5th year cadets transported all the educational equipment to the Sevastopol VVMIU and installed it in three months, which made it possible to begin a full-fledged educational process on September 1 using all laboratory equipment, existing simulators and technical means. Two years later, the faculty moved to a specially built educational building for it, located outside the main building of the school, with a full set of all the equipment necessary for the quality of the educational process. For the families of officers and midshipmen, the faculty was built on modern project An apartment building with an excellent layout in the Upper Holland area, next to the school.

The center of the cultural life of the school was the club. Famous creative groups, writers, composers, and artists often performed in the well-equipped auditorium. Here, recreational evenings for cadets were held together with the youth of the city, meetings with scientists, war veterans, and outstanding military leaders and naval commanders. The club had lectures on art and musical culture.

The literary association “Storm”, created in 1961, worked at the club, which had its own printed organ - the magazine “Storm”. The club also operated an art studio, various clubs and amateur art groups. The school's vocal and instrumental ensemble was a laureate of the All-Union Amateur Arts Festival. The “Horizon” tourist club, created in 1967, was extremely popular among cadets, officers, workers and employees of the school, which included sections for water, mountain and hiking, caving and orienteering sections.

The history room of the school, created in 1967, played an outstanding role in the military-patriotic education of cadets and youth of the city. The room contained documents and materials on the history of the formation of the Sevastopol VVMIU and materials about its people. For the active use of exhibits from the school’s history room in the political and military education of cadets, in accordance with the Order of the Commander of the Black Sea Fleet No. 461 of December 28, 1977, it received the status of a museum and became known as the Museum of the History of the Sevastopol Higher Naval Engineering School.

In 1979, Captain II Rank Reserve A.A. was appointed head of the museum. Kamensky, who put his soul and heart into this work, which became the goal of his life. Anatoly Arkadyevich, an honest and courageous man, a true patriot of the Navy and the Sevastopol VVMIU, with his integrity, uncompromisingness and conviction in the correctness of his position, managed to save the School History Museum from actual destruction.

The Museum of the Sevastopol VVMIU had enormous cognitive and educational significance and retrospectively illuminated the great glorious heroic path that our Navy went through. Even after the transformation of the school into the Sevastopol Institute of Nuclear Energy and Industry, when the museum of the history of the Sevastopol VVMIU became only part of the exhibition of the museum of the history of the institute, its educational impact does not fade. However, during the period of the tragic reassignment of the Sevastopol VVMIU to the Ukrainian Navy, a completely different option for existence was prepared for the museum.

In 1995, the school received a telegram from the Directorate for Educational Work of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine with information about the inspection of cultural and educational institutions, including military museums, and which already contained a resolution from the head of the Sevastopol VMI of Ukraine: “The museum of the educational campus M-2 (former Holland) will be taken to the educational campus M-1.”

By this time, the Museum of the History of the Sevastopol VVMIU was declared a branch of the Museum of the History of the Sevastopol VVMIU of Ukraine. A.A. Kamensky, having received instructions to transfer the exhibits, turned to the head of the VMI with the question: “Why do you need a museum in Holland? There is nothing in the exhibition about the Ukrainian VMI.” The conversation with the head of the school and his educational assistant ended on an uncertain note, and this uncertainty lasted a very long time. A.A. Kamensky sealed the Museum, hid all the documentation and did not allow its exhibits to be stolen as gifts for new high-ranking naval commanders who frequented the institute. Officers of the SEVMIU joined the fight for the preservation of the museum of the Sevastopol VVMIU, who initiated the creation of a special commission on this issue.

After the issue of organizing the SINAEiP was resolved, a group of Naval Forces officers arrived at the museum to make a final decision on its fate. After examining the exhibition, the commission decided not to transfer the museum to the Naval Institute of Ukraine. After the creation of the SINAEiP, the Museum again turned out to be unnecessary in its original role as the custodian of the history of the best naval school in the USSR - the ideology of “independence” made itself felt. The leaders of the institute tried to lease the Museum premises to a commercial organization.

Only thanks to responsibility to descendants, energy and courage, and the uncompromising spirit of A. A. Kamensky, a patriot of the Soviet nuclear submarine fleet, the SVVMIU Museum was able to be defended. Realizing that how independent institution The museum of the history of the Sevastopol VVMIU will not be able to exist in the new conditions, Anatoly Arkadyevich on its basis, on the solid foundation of the memory of generations, launched an exhibition of the newly born institute. At the moment this is one of the best departmental museums.

A.A. Kamensky is credited with preserving the Battle Red Banner of the 3rd Higher Naval Engineering School and the historical journal of the school, which the Ukrainian Navy seized as a trophy during the “privatization” of the Sevastopol VVMIU. Thanks to his actions and appeals from the naval community, the Battle Red Banner of the 3rd Higher Naval Engineering School was returned to the school. At the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Sevastopol VVMIU on December 15, 2001, for the last time, the SEVMIU Banner floated majestically, accompanied by the Banner Platoon, at a ceremonial parade in front of the formation of school graduates of all years of graduation.

The school had winter halls for sports games and classes in gymnastics, weightlifting, boxing, and wrestling. The school’s open sports campus was magnificent, including a stadium with a football field, sectors for jumping, throwing and shot put, a running track with an elastic tartan surface, several basketball, volleyball, gorodoshny, badminton, handball courts, and tennis courts.

No less attractive for the cadets were the water stadium and the boat base of the school, which opened up opportunities for practicing water sports: swimming, diving, underwater orienteering, rowing on dinghies, kayaks and canoes, sailing, diving from a tower and some types of water-motor sports.

Before the completion of the construction of an outdoor fresh water pool on the school grounds, swimming classes were held right in the bay. Between the working pier and a special pontoon, a fifty-meter rectangle of water area was divided by stretched rods with floats into five water paths. A springboard, three- and five-meter diving towers located on the pier, and several removable metal ladders on its side facing the sea (the pier was also used for diving descents in light diving training classes) completed the picture of this sports facility.

The school's boat base began simply as an ordinary line of 8 - 10 boats covered in the open air - sixes, located on the slipway of the hydrodrome on the shore of the bay. At first, before the creation of the department of maritime practice, there was no single owner over the rowing and sailing ships of the school. Classes on boats in maritime practice were conducted by officers of the physical training department, and responsibility for maintaining the hulls and sailing equipment of the boats in good condition was distributed between the companies. With the creation of the Department of Maritime Practice and a significant increase in the number of rowing and sailing vessels, the maintenance of boats was carried out by cadets, who were selected individually from different units in accordance with their physical characteristics and on the mandatory principle of voluntariness.

The school continued to function actively, using its accumulated potential. Every year it produced hundreds of well-trained engineering officers for the country's nuclear fleet. The school operated a unique automated information and training complex created by the teaching staff, on the basis of which a regional center for computer training of teaching staff for other educational institutions operated. As of 1992, the Sevastopol VVMIU was a high-class naval educational institution, which trained highly professional specialists for the navy in the operation of nuclear power plants of submarines and surface ships. The level of organization of the educational process and educational work at the Sevastopol VVMIU allowed its graduates to successfully solve complex combat missions on the most modern ships and nuclear submarines.

The path traveled by the school clearly confirms that the vast majority of cadets of the Sevastopol VVMIU treated their main task with great responsibility - study and devotion to the fleet and the Motherland. Among the graduates of the school are Heroes of the Soviet Union and Russia, laureates of State Prizes, doctors of science, professors, and admirals. Many graduates are included in the Register of Veterans of Special Risk Units.

For impeccable service, high performance in combat training and the development of new equipment, more than 1000 graduates of the Sevastopol VVMIU were awarded high government awards, three graduates of the school were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, one - the title of Hero of Russia. 29 graduates of the school were awarded admiral ranks. In the post-war period, our fleet lost 20 submarines in accidents and disasters, of which 10 were nuclear-powered, 5 of which the sea took for itself. Over a thousand submariners died, 55 of them were officers and graduates of the Sevastopol VVMIU.

Since the beginning of the 90s, when the process of collapse of the USSR began at a rapid pace, the Ukrainian side intensified its efforts to unilaterally privatize Black Sea Fleet facilities, including the reassignment of naval schools to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

On June 28, 1992, in the Sevastopol VVMIU, in a solemn but internally tense atmosphere, the 39th graduation of young naval officers was held - this graduation was the last in the glorious history of the VVMIU, which trained highly qualified specialists for the country's modern nuclear fleet. On July 22, 1992, the newspaper “Fleet of Ukraine” published the Order of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine “On measures for the implementation by naval educational institutions of the Decree of the President of Ukraine of April 5, 1992 No. 209,” which ordered that from July 17, 1992, the SVVMIU and the ChVVMU named after. P.S. Nakhimov to the head of the Military Education Department of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, and all Orders of the Commander of the Black Sea Fleet regarding schools are considered to have no legal force. On August 3, 1992, a meeting between the Presidents of the USSR and Ukraine took place in Yalta, at which the “Agreement between Ukraine and the Russian Federation on the principles of forming the Ukrainian Navy and the Russian Navy on the basis of the Black Sea Fleet” was signed former USSR" The document was full of omissions and general phrases. On August 14, the head of the Military Education Department of the MOU arrived at the Sevastopol VVMIU with accompanying persons who, violating the regime of access to the military unit, tried to force the deputy head of the school to sign all the documents issued on the reassignment, but were refused. At the end of August 1992, a delegation from Kyiv arrived in Sevastopol VVMIU. The delegation’s task is to “re-oath” the officers. Despite powerful psychological pressure and moral pressure, the commission failed to fulfill its mission - the vast majority of officers refused to take the Ukrainian oath.

On September 7, 1992, a meeting of officers of the Sevastopol VVMIU took place. On September 9, at the House of Fleet Officers, the Commander of the Black Sea Fleet held a meeting of commanders of formations, ships and units of the Sevastopol garrison, at which the fate of the fleet and naval schools was again decided. Those gathered adopted an appeal addressed to the presidents and ministers of defense of Russia and Ukraine, which states:

“...For 9 months, the Red Banner Black Sea Fleet has been going through one of the most difficult periods of its two-hundred-year history...

As a result of unilateral actions by representatives of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, the agreement reached in August is torpedoed on many points, which the Ukrainian side interprets in its own way. A clear confirmation of this are the provocative actions of the commission of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the purpose of which is to reassign the Sevastopol Higher Naval Engineering School and the Black Sea Higher Naval School named after. P.S. Nakhimova...

The actions of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry group were in the nature of a forceful seizure, outright disregard for legal regulations and a complete lack of basic ethical standards relationships between military personnel. Using promises and resorting to moral and psychological pressure, representatives of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry tried to persuade the personnel of schools to take a second oath, persistently inviting command and teaching staff to cooperate, and compiled lists of loyal persons.

These schools, which train missile specialists for all branches of the naval forces and specialists in nuclear power plants for ships, including those included in the strategic forces of the Commonwealth, are largely unique and have no analogues not only in the CIS, but also beyond its borders... In In connection with this, we declare the need to exclude unilateral illegal actions and draw the attention of all interested parties to the need to comply with the Agreements signed by the Presidents...

We appeal to the presidents and ministers of defense of Russia and Ukraine: it is not too late to take measures aimed at preserving Sevastopol schools and suspending the process of their reassignment. We rely on your wisdom, on your balanced and prudent approach to problems and strategic forces ... "

Unfortunately, the situation developed in such a way that the balance began to tip against preserving the schools. On September 12, the Deputy Ministry of Defense of Ukraine officially announced that the Ukrainian side has plans to reform Sevastopol schools and transform them into the Naval Institute of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and that on September 26 freshmen will take the oath. It became clear: the school was awaiting destruction, which was soon confirmed by the course of events.

Another attempt was made to prevent the process of disintegration of schools. On September 20, 1992, school officers and the fleet command organized an open meeting of cadets from both schools, along with sailors of the Sevastopol garrison and city residents. At this meeting-rally, the following Resolution was unanimously adopted:

"1. To propose to Russian President B. Yeltsin to take Sevastopol under Russian jurisdiction - in strict accordance with Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR No. 1082 of October 29, 1948 on the special status of the Black Sea Fleet base of Sevastopol as a city of direct republican subordination of the RSFSR and separated from the Crimean region) - later not canceled and not specifically specified during the transfer of Crimea to Ukraine.

2. To propose to the command of the Armed Forces of the CIS and Russia to grant both Sevastopol higher naval schools the status of higher naval educational institutions that train specialist officers specifically for the Strategic Forces of the Russian and CIS Navy...”

Moscow was silent. The Ukrainian side was in a hurry to consolidate the gained positions. As a result, the Ukrainian and Russian sides took the oath separately. Everyone who took the Russian oath was immediately expelled from the school. The process of “re-swearing” cost the Russian Navy dearly: 1,563 cadets of 1–5 courses were lost to the Russian Navy from the Sevastopol VVMIU alone.

The Ukrainian side, based on the order of the Minister of Defense of Ukraine dated July 25, 1992, created a multidisciplinary education - the Naval Institute of the Ukrainian Navy - a conglomerate of five faculties created on the basis of the merger of the Sevastopol VVMIU, the Black Sea VVMI named after. P.S. Nakhimov, the Izmail Center and two Sevastopol Navy training detachments.

Sevastopol VVMIU joined the newly created structure as the Faculty of Naval Power Engineering, designed to train officers in the following specialties: diesel power plants of surface ships and submarines; gas turbine installations of surface ships; electrical power systems of surface ships and submarines; engineers - divers in underwater technology; engineers - shipbuilders; nuclear power plants and installations.

A school that qualitatively trained specialists in nuclear energy, was not able to quickly adapt to the training of such a wide range of specialties, which the leadership of the Ukrainian Navy swung to. In order not to lose highly qualified nuclear educators, the teaching staff began to strive for the creation of an appropriate specialized faculty at the institute. With the help of the State Committee for Atomic Energy and the management of Ukrainian nuclear power plants, it was possible to form a faculty of nuclear power plants within the structure of the SVMI. A temporary agreement was reached between the Ukrainian Navy and the Russian Navy that the newly created faculties would produce two more graduations of cadets who did not take the Ukrainian oath, for a fee to the Ukrainian side.

However, these agreements and the obligations assumed regarding the full and high-quality implementation of curricula and training programs for cadets who did not take the Ukrainian oath were subsequently repeatedly violated. Thus, a unilateral decision was made to conduct accelerated graduation of the 5th year in January 1993 (instead of June), which deprived cadets of the legal right to receive standard diplomas of higher education with military qualifications. All this, as well as the conditions of payment for training that were unacceptable for the Russian Navy, forced the Russian side to make a decision to transfer 16 specialties of training profiles to SVVMIU and ChVVMU named after. P.S.Nakhimov to higher educational institutions located in Russia.

Thus ended the tragic story of the reassignment of the Sevastopol VVMIU to the Naval Forces of Ukraine. The Sevastopol Higher Naval Engineering School ceased to exist.

September 20011 marked the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Sevastopol Higher Naval Engineering School. I will remember for the rest of my life the words with which the head of the school, engineer-rear-admiral M.A. Krastelev, admonished graduates of the Sevastopol Higher Military-Naval Engineering School in 1965: “You have chosen the most daring profession of a nuclear submariner at a difficult time for the country. From now on, your home is the ocean, which begins from this parade ground.”
