The Hetman Petro Sahaidachny National Army Academy is one of the leading educational institutions in the military education system of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. The Academy trains future officers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in facilities that have been used since 1899 by different governments for training infantry cadets and officers.

History

[edit]

Austria-Hungary

[edit]

On October 1, 1899, on the territory of the present Academy, the opening of the Imperial and Royal School of Cadets in Lviv (K. und k. Infanterie Kadettenschule in Lemberg) was held. This facility was the only one in Galicia and the sixteenth military academy in Austria-Hungary. Graduates of the institution received the title "Kadet - Deputy Officer". In 1914 the school was evacuated to Austria. Among the outstanding graduates were Colonel Hnat Stefaniv, Lieutenant Colonel Alfred Bizantz, and Ataman Boguslav Shashkevich, who played an important role during the Ukrainian War of Independence.[2]

Second Polish Republic

[edit]

After the Aster Revolution led to the collapse of Austria-Hungary, the complex of buildings were abandoned. In 1921, the Polish Cadet Corps No. 1 (in 1935 renamed as the Józef Pilsudski Cadet Corps) was re-located there from Kraków. The German invasion forced the Polish command in September 1939 to evacuate the Cadet Corps No. 3 from Rawicz to Lviv. However, in connection with the offensive of the Red Army, it was not possible to start classes. After the accession of Western Ukrainian lands to the Ukrainian SSR, the Soviet authorities disbanded the educational institution.

Soviet Union

[edit]

From the end of September to November 14, 1939, the headquarters of the Ukrainian Front were stationed in the premises of the former Cadet Corps. After its disbandment, the Lviv Infantry School of the Red Army was stationed there, which was moved to Ostroh a year later. From December 1940 to March 1941, training buildings on the street. Kadetsky, 32 become the place of the disposition of the 15th motorized artillery brigade. In March 1941, it replaced the 32nd Tank Division of the 4th Mechanized Corps of the Red Army. During the German occupation of the current Academy there was a military hospital, and from the end of July 1944 and until the spring of 1947, a Soviet military hospital.

In 1947, a school, which in various locations had trained about 11,000 police officers, moved to Lviv and became the Lviv Military-Political School (for some time, it was named after Nikolay Shchors), occupying the territory of the cadet corps barracks. The facility trained officers for service in the editorial boards of the military media and cultural and educational institutions of the Soviet Armed Forces. In 1962, Lviv military-political school was transformed into a higher one. On April 30, 1975, by the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, the Lviv higher military-political school was awarded the Order of the Red Star. In 1978, for services in increasing the combat readiness of the armed forces of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, the LVVPU was awarded the Order of the Red Star of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. During the years of Soviet rule, the school gained experience in training officer personnel for the armed forces of foreign powers. After gaining the status of a higher education institution at a special faculty in August 1971, servicemen from more than 20 countries of Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America studied there and gained experience in political education and military culture.

Ukraine

[edit]

With Ukraine regaining its independence, the creation of its own Armed Forces begins a new page in the history of the Lviv Military Institute. On October 8, 1993,[3] on the basis of Lviv Higher Military School and military departments of civil higher educational institutions of Lviv, a new type of military educational establishment was created which was the first in Ukraine to be closely integrated with the system of civilian higher education, in particular with the National University "Lviv Polytechnic". This integration implemented the fundamental principle of the Concept of Military Education in Ukraine, established by the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine of December 15, 1997,[4] which states that "military education is integrated into the state system of education on the basis of a unified Legislative and regulatory framework ".

In close integration with the civil university, the Lviv Military Institute began to train officers from fifteen specialties in 1993, including "Combat application of mechanized units", "Combat application of aeromobile (parachute-landing) units" (cadets of these specialties were transferred to the Odesa Military Academy in 1995), as well as on specialties "Financial support and economy of combat and economic activity of troops", "Jurisprudence", etc.

On November 18, 2000, for the great successes in training qualified specialists for the Ukrainian army and on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the training of officers in Galicia, the President Leonid Kuchma granted the academy the honorific title "Hetman Petro Sagaidachny" and awarded it the Diploma of Honor. By decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated May 26, 2005, No. 381, the educational institution was reorganized into the Lviv Institute of Land Forces and since September 1, 2006, it has trained military specialists in all specialties of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On September 30, 2006, the Institute was visited by President Viktor Yushchenko, who highly assessed the organization of training officers for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In September 1, 2009,[5] it was transformed into the Ground Forces Academy "Hetman Petro Sahaidachnyi", mandated to form both officers and non-commissioned personnel of the Ground Forces. On September 21, 2015, President Petro Poroshenko ordered that the academy be granted the status of a National Academy and removed its Order of the Red Star. Two alumni of the academy were killed in the Anti-Terrorist Operation.[6][7][8]

The academy has four faculties:

The academy also includes the Staff Sergeants Military College, which trains junior specialists in the repair and maintenance of automotive equipment, warehouse managers in various fields, as well as musicians in military bands. Cadets undergo military practice at the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security. In 2009 alone, the academy graduated 238 lieutenants.[9]

On campus, there is a restored church of the Archangel Michael that was constructed during the Austrian period. Cadets from the academy took part in the 2010 Moscow Victory Day Parade on Red Square, celebrating the 65th anniversary of the end of the Great Patriotic War.[16][17] In recent years, it has received visits from distinguished visitors. Among them, was Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj, an alumni who visited in 2011 as part of a state visit to Ukraine in his position as President of Mongolia.[18]
