Khrulev's Academy: address, department, chief. Military Academy of Material and Technical Support named after A. V. Khrulev

Military universities in St. Petersburg have a long tradition of educating cadres. One of the oldest institutions is the Khrulev MTO Academy, where officers and middle-level specialists are trained in the management and provision of material and technical means of the army and rear.

History

The Military Academy of Material and Technical Support named after A. V. Khrulev was founded in 1900. The task of the educational institution was to train and educate the officers of the quartermaster service. Until now, such institutions have not been anywhere else in the world. In 1906 the term of study was extended to 3 years, and the institution was equated to the school of higher military education.

The status of the academy was conferred on the university in 1911, and after the revolution, like many military universities in St. Petersburg, the institution was subordinated to the Red Army. During the period 1924-1925 an attempt was made to reorganize the large scale - all faculties were distributed between military higher educational institutions, which affected the quality of the education of graduates.

A new round of development history began in 1932, when the Military Transport Academy was established in Moscow, and in 1935 the Military Academy was founded in Kharkov. The merger of the two institutions occurred in the postwar period, in 1956. Since 1999, the Academy has trained specialists with a full higher military education, and since 2010, cadets with secondary specialized training have started to graduate from the walls of the institution.

V. became deputy to the People's Commissar of Defense of the country and took over the leadership of the Main Directorate of the rear of the active army.

In the postwar period, A.V. Khrulev occupied important posts in the administration of the rear of the USSR Armed Forces. Since 1951 he was appointed deputy minister in the national economy and was engaged in the development of the building materials industry. In 1958 he returned to the Ministry of Defense of the Soviet Union as an adviser-inspector. He died in 1962 and is buried in Red Square.
