History

[edit]

It was founded by the Soviet Government on 26 December 1931 and was made into an educational directorate of the Joint State Political Directorate in the Ukrainian SSR. It was originally based from the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv and was named as the Second Normal School of Border Guard and OGPU troops. In April 1938, the school was renamed the Kharkov Military School of the Border and Internal Troops of the NKVD named after Felix Dzerzhinsky with a term of study of two years. In April 1957, the school was put under the authority and jurisdiction of the Committee for State Security (KGB). On 15 July 1960, by order of the Council of Ministers of the USSR the educational institution was transformed into the Alma-Ata Higher Border Command School and was transformed into a four-year school. At the fall of the Soviet Union, three quarters of all cadets left the school for countries such as Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.[1] It was reformed in 1993, as the Military Institute of the National Security Committee of Kazakhstan, and the Military Institute of the Border Troops. It became the Border Troops Academy and by order of President Nursultan Nazarbayev on 13 March 2012, it was renamed a final time.[2][3][4]
