The Moscow Suvorov Military School (MsSVU) is a military educational institution of secondary education of the Ministry of Defense of Russia. It was the first of the Suvorov Military Schools founded in the Soviet Union.[1]
The Moscow Suvorov Military School was formed as the Gorky Suvorov Military School between 4 July 1944 and 1 October 1944. The Gorky Suvorov School was home to teachers and military officers in the Red Army. On 30 August 1956, the Gorky Suvorov Military School was relocated to Moscow. In 1964, the school switched to a three-year curriculum. They began to take boys after 8th grade at the age of 15–16 years. On 21 December 1991, the school was redeployed to Moscow.
In Moscow, it was originally located near the Fili metro station. In 1991, it was transferred to Winding Passage, Building 11 (Babushkinskaya), where it is located to this day. Since 2011, the graduation of Suvorovites has been carried out on Cathedral Square in the Moscow Kremlin. Opposite the school is the Moscow Border Institute of the FSB of the Russian Federation.
