| Summary: | Based on the materials of the Russian State Military Historical Archive, which have
being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, the article examines
the history of visits to the Siberian Cadet Corps and to the Preparatory Boarding
School of the Siberian Cossack Host by the War Minister of the Russian Empire,
Adjutant General Aleksey N. Kuropatkin. There have been no special studies of this
visit. The theoretical basis of this research is a combination of anthropological and
institutional approaches with the principle of consistency and the problem–based
method. The trip to Siberia was carried out in order to personally familiarize the
War Minister with the state of the Siberian Military District created shortly before,
as well as with its largest points, one of which was Omsk. The importance of this
visit is noted for assessing the household condition of the Corps and setting up
the educational process in it. It is found that the main identified shortcomings are
the lack of plumbing and modern sewerage, a small gym, an unsuccessful daily
routine and unsatisfactory teaching of foreign languages. The article first publishes
the «Report on the inspection of the Siberian Cadet Corps» on September 30–
October 5, 1899, accompanied by the War Minister, Colonel Count Georgiy A.
Bobrinsky. It is concluded that this is one of the most detailed descriptions of the
Corps at the turn of the XIX–XX century, which is of great value for the study of
the history of military educational institutions not only in Siberia, but also in the
Russian Empire as a whole. |
