Mishustin signed an order to recreate the famous higher command school in the Urals.
The Russian government has approved a resolution to establish the Chelyabinsk Higher Tank Command School. The military university was founded in the early days of the Great Patriotic War and ceased its activities in 2007.
The Federal State Budgetary Military Educational Institution "Chelyabinsk Higher Tank Command School" has been restored by the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated May 27, 2026. The decree was signed by the Chairman of the Government, Mikhail Mishustin.
The founder of the revived school is the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, reports "FederalPress". The ministry is tasked with approving the institution's charter and transferring land plots and real estate to it for indefinite use.
The educational institution plans to implement higher and secondary vocational education programs, additional professional courses, as well as conduct scientific and research work in the interests of the country's defense capability.
The Chelyabinsk Higher Tank Command School was established on June 30, 1941, to train commanders of tank troops, military technicians, and senior driver-mechanics. In the 1990s, it was renamed the Chelyabinsk Tank Institute, and in 2007 it was disbanded.
This decision was influenced by the case of Andrei Sychev, a conscript private from Krasnoturinsk, who served in the support battalion of the Chelyabinsk Tank Institute and became a victim of bullying by a sergeant-colleague, resulting in him becoming a severely disabled person.
In 2018, a local deputy acquired the property complex of the institution with the aim of building a residential quarter, notes "FederalPress". The housing was constructed in 2019-2021.
In January, it became known about the government's plans to restore two more military schools this year.
