Then they got their name in honor of the Russian commander Generalissimo Alexander Vasilievich Suvorov ^{[4] [5]} . The initiator of their creation was Lieutenant General Alexei Ignatiev , who addressed a letter to I.V. Stalin on April 17, 1943: he proposed, in the form of experience, to create one cadet corps in Moscow. Stalin made 2 amendments: schools were named Suvorov; and 9 schools were created at once.

In 1943, 11 schools were opened: Krasnodar (in Maykop ), Novocherkassk, Stalingrad (in Astrakhan ), Voronezh, Kharkov (in Chuguev ), Kursk, Kalinin, Orlovsk (in Yelets ), Stavropol, Tashkent , Kutaisi (the last two are NKVD schools , later - the Ministry of Internal Affairs , for the children of border guards); in 1944 - 6 schools: Kazan, Kuibyshev, Gorky, Saratov, Tambov, Tula, in 1953 - Minsk, in 1955 - Leningrad ^[6] .

In 1975, there were 8 schools in the USSR : Kazan, Kalinin, Kiev (formerly Kharkov), Leningrad, Minsk, Moscow (formerly Gorky), Sverdlovsk and Ussuri (formerly Kursk).

Lenin to the Ulyanovsk Guards Suvorov Military Double Red Banner, the Order of the Red Star School was completed in 1991.

Republican special boarding schools with in-depth study of the Russian language and enhanced military-physical training . They were created in the early 1980s, subordinate to the Ministry of Education of the USSR. They had a 3-year period of study (in contrast to the then IEDs, where the course of study was 2 years). Pupils wore uniforms of VCA (difference in inscriptions on uniform: secondary school instead of VCA ).

The task of the RSHI was to train future officers from among the national cadres. A distinctive feature of the acquisition of military schools during the Soviet era was the order list , requiring universities to accept a certain number of people of non-titular nationality.
