The school was founded in the city of Kursk in late 1943, soon after the Battle of Kursk, and was initially called the Kursk Suvorov Military School. Like all Suvorov Military Schools, it was essentially a boarding school / junior military for young boys who pursued a military career, initially with a 7-years course of studies. In the beginning, the admission was highly competitive and limited mostly to orphans of Soviet servicemen KIA, primarily commissioned officers. In 1957, the school relocated to the Soviet Far East and became known as the Far Eastern Suvorov Military School. It was renamed Ussuriysk Suvorov Military School in 1964, a few years after moving to the city of Ussuriysk just north of Vladivostok. Its 45th anniversary badge was issued to the faculty and staff, and possibly to a limited number of VIP alumni. The academy remains operational to this day and is apparently highly regarded in the Russian military.
