History

[edit]

Background

[edit]

The Presidium of the VChK (The first security service of the Soviet Russia) decided to establish a special institute for operational training. The first course began in April 1921.[4]

In 1922 the course was renamed the Higher Courses of the State Political Directorate (GPU).

In May 1930 Moscow created higher schools for basic and advanced training of secret agents; on June 4, 1930 the school was known as the Central School of OGPU. July 14, 1934, after the formation of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs, the former OGPU Central School was renamed the Central School of General Directorate for State Security (GUGB) of the NKVD.

On March 21, 1939 the Central School of GUGB NKVD was reorganized as the Graduate School of the NKVD. By the early 1940s, every third head of the Soviet security organs was a graduate of the course.[5] During the Great Patriotic War, the school trained more than seven thousand security officers who organized the fight against Nazi Germany.[6]

By Resolution of the Council of Ministers on August 2, 1962 the KGB Higher School was named after Dzerzhinsky. During the 1960s to 1980s, graduates took part in countering foreign intelligence services and conducting operational and combat activities.

FSB Academy

[edit]

In 1995, the Higher School of the KGB was renamed the FSB Academy.[7]
