  • Saint Petersburg Nakhimov Naval School (main campus is located in Saint Petersburg, there are branches in Vladivostok, Sevastopol, Kaliningrad, Murmansk) Founded in 1944 and located in St. Petersburg in an impressive baroque building adjacent to the Russian cruiser Aurora, the Navy's oldest commissioned warship and the ship that has been credited with signaling the beginning of the October Revolution, this institution can be considered a naval preparatory school. Successful graduates from its program can directly enter the officer commissioning schools without sitting for the competitive entrance examinations. Originally, the Nakhimov Schools and their army equivalents, the Suvorov Schools, were established to provide education for the sons of officers who perished during the war. There were three Nakhimov Schools (Leningrad-1944, Tbilisi-1944, and Riga-1945) but the Tbilisi and Riga schools were closed in 1955 and 1952, respectively. Only the school in St. Petersburg continues to function until 2016, when the School was expanded to include campuses in major Russian naval base towns.
