Military Institute of Physical Education (founded October 1, 1909)

Institute history

The Military Institute of Physical Culture is also one of the first educational institutions of the Armed Forces in the history of the USSR. The educational institution began its history back in the days of the Russian Empire. By the decree of the Emperor on May 17, 1909, the Main Gymnastics and Fencing School was organized in St. Petersburg. She reported directly to the Commander-in-Chief of the Guard and the Military District of St. Petersburg.


The school brought together the best teachers in the field of army sports. In those years, the teaching staff included such eminent athletes as Eimelus, Vihra, Raevsky and many others. Athletes who studied at the school were part of the national teams in various sports. From the day of the foundation of the institute, traditions and glory of the educational institution in sports victories were laid.


After the Great October Revolution, the school was reorganized, becoming the Soviet Military Main Gymnastics and Fencing School in Petrograd. A significant period in the history of the institute was 1932, when the Red Banner Military Faculty was formed in Moscow at the Central State Institute of Physical Culture. This period became key because the educational program of universities was introduced.

After the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, the institute was stationed in Moscow, and the life of the educational institution passed to martial law. Most of the teachers and students were at the front in the active units of the Red Army. The term of study in the main program was reduced to one year, and in the additional department to three months. In addition to qualified specialists in the field of physical culture, the school trained command personnel for rifle, reconnaissance, airborne, ski and other combat units.

Teachers and graduates of the Red Banner Faculty honorably fulfilled their military duty. Valor and courage of nine of them (A.S. Zheltov, S.A. Savushkin, B.E. Kovalenko, L.V. Kudakovsky, N.V. Kopylov, D.A. Balakhanov, V.B. Mironov, F I. Perkhorovich, NS Ugryumov) were awarded the Gold Star medal and the honorary title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

After the war, it was decided to reorganize the faculty into an independent higher educational institution with a permanent location in Leningrad. The institute was formed in a building owned by the Moscow Life Guards Regiment. The educational institution is located here today.


 The Military Institute of Physical Culture (VIFK) was visited by the outstanding wrestler Alexander Karelin

In the first few years after the war, a tremendous amount of work was carried out to restore destroyed buildings, organize training, everyday life, and play sports for cadets and students. In the postwar years, both the national teams of the institute and individual athletes set records and won the USSR championships.

Since the beginning of the 50s, the history of Olympic victories of university graduates began, today the list of Olympic champions consists of 50 names. Among them are such sports legends as Vyacheslav Fetisov, Nikolai Puchkov, Vladimir Belousov and others.

More than a century of experience in training qualified personnel in the military-applied and various sports areas for solving the problem of sports readiness of military personnel for combat training in various military units demonstrates the importance of an educational institution and significant potential in military policy.

Since 2015, on the basis of the Military Institute of Physical Culture, a sports school has been created for children who demonstrate high achievements in sports and physical training (Cadet Corps).
