Abstract

This article aims to analyse the genesis of the practice of the party leadership of vocational training for the soviet police and State security bodies. The authors trace the process of development of the structure of secondary and higher educational institutions of All-Russian Extraordinary Commission, Joint State Political Directorate, People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs and the Ministry of State Security, as well as the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR in the period from the early 1920s to the mid-1980s. It argues for the idea that the party and political control over the system of secondary and higher education is carried out by the deputies for political affairs and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The article analyses archive materials of the primary party organization of Orel secondary special police school of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR. In conclusions it should be noted that the recent strengthening of the party and political control over the activities of educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is associated with increasing ideo-logical confrontation between the West and the USSR at the turn of the 1960s and 1970s.
