Abstract
The article highlights the reforms initiated by the Soviet leadership, headed by the first Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, N.S. Khrushchev, in the field of military education (1953–1964). According to a number of scientists, the transformations initiated in the army were unacceptable. Having made a bet on the development of weapons of mass destruction, the Soviet government believed that the nuclear power could do without a multi-million Armed Forces. Military training institutions and their staff were reduced along with the entire army, the prestige of the officer service was greatly shaken. As a result, almost all officers (including military pensioners) and their families unanimously welcomed the resignation of N.S. Khrushchev in October 1964.
