On 26 December 1931, the Second School of Border Guard and Internal Troops (later the Second United Border School) was founded in Pomirky. On 16 April 1932, its staff was awarded the Battle Flag. On 1 May 1932, the cadets of the first set took part in the May Day military parade of the Kharkiv Garrison for the first time.[2] On October Revolution Day of that year, the first graduation of junior commanders took place.[2] In April 1937, the school became known as the Kharkiv Military School of the NKVD named after Felix Dzerzhinsky. It would later come under the command of the Soviet Internal Troops.[2] In September 1946, the first postwar graduation of rear service officers took place. In 1959, the school was relocated within Kharkiv to Uprising Square.[2] In 1975, the school was completely transferred to the training of cadets under the program of higher military education and became known as the Kharkiv Higher Military School of the Rear of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR.[2]
