The National Academy of Internal Affairs of Ukraine has come a long historical way from initial training courses for police officers to the leading educational institution of the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs. The university trains specialists of the highest legal qualifications for law enforcement agencies of the republic, as well as for structures peacekeeping forces UN.

Base

The National Academy of Internal Affairs of Ukraine was born in Kharkov, which was the capital of Ukraine in the 20s of the last century. NAVD as an educational institution began with courses for red policemen. The courses were established on June 11, 1921. It is from this day that the academy celebrates its birthday every year.

A year later (05/12/1922) the police courses were transformed into district courses for junior command staff of the State Police of the Ukrainian SSR, and on 09/30/1922 into the School of Senior Police Command Staff. Taking into account the urgent need for the training of leadership personnel, the Council of People's Commissars of the Ukrainian SSR on October 23, 1923 reorganized the institution, which became known as the All-Ukrainian School of Police and Criminal Investigation.

Moving

In April 1925, the Presidium of the All-Union Central Executive Committee of the Ukrainian SSR decided to move the school from Kharkov, which at that time was the capital of the Ukrainian SSR, to one of the nearest provincial cities in Ukraine. The choice fell on the city of Kyiv. Since then, the history of the institution has been connected with this city.

In 1936, GSOM was again renamed the School of Senior Police Commanders named after Balitsky. By order of the NKVD of the USSR in 1937, the name of V. A. Balitsky was removed from the name of the school. The war caused enormous damage. Almost whole personnel died in battles for his homeland.

Post-war development

The Case of the Fallen Teachers post-war years continued by the new generation. The victorious end of the war, the beginning of the restoration of the country's national economy, and the reorganization of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of State Security led to a change in the subordination of the educational institution. Over the next decade, the school on Solomenskaya Square was renamed 5 times.

On August 20, 1956, in the now Kyiv Special Secondary School (hereinafter KSSSHM), training began for various police services under a two-year program. In 1957, on the basis of the KSSSHM in Kiev, correspondence training was organized for cadets of the Higher School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union.

Three years later, the Higher School and the KSSShM were merged with the creation of the Higher School of the SSR. Has begun new stage development and improvement of the activities of the future National Academy of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. New structure has become a reliable base for training highly qualified specialists for law enforcement agencies. In 1966, due to structural changes in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the school was subordinated directly to the Council of Ministers and renamed the Kyiv Higher School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR.

Independence

With the proclamation of independence by Ukraine, the Higher School (HS) became subordinate to the Ministry of Internal Affairs sovereign state. Fundamental changes in the activities of law enforcement agencies, the need to accelerate the construction of a socially just, democratic, rule of law have caused the need to improve the personnel training system for law enforcement agencies. In 1992, an academy was created on the basis of the KVS, and in January 1996, by presidential decree, it was granted National status.

The organization has set a course for new areas of personnel training, research work, and significant improvement in the organization of its activities. Since September 2005, it has been reorganized into a university institution called the Kiev National University of VD. According to the order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated August 27, 2010, the institution was transformed into the National Academy of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.

Cooperation

The Academy maintains contacts with many international and all-Ukrainian institutions, organizations, unions, and associations. One example of such close cooperation is its contacts with the public organization “All-Ukrainian Association of Criminal Law”. It brings together scientists in the field of criminal law, criminology, specialists in related fields of knowledge, practitioners, public and statesmen to promote the development of science, exchange of experience, coordination of efforts and mutual assistance in scientific activity. For several years now, the National Academy of Internal Affairs of Ukraine has had a local branch of this public organization, which consists mainly of specialists from the departments of law and criminology.

Department of Criminal Law

At all stages of the development of NAVD (Kyiv), significant scientific potential was concentrated in the teaching staff. For example, the Department of Criminal Law takes its origins from the Department of Criminal Law Disciplines of the Kishinel School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR, founded back in 1958. Over the years of its existence, famous experts in the field of criminal law have worked on it:

• Scientists P. P. Mikhailenko, V. M. Smitienko, M. I. Korzhansky, who became the founders of scientific schools.
• Doctors, professors, associate professors N. A. Bondarenko, V. A. Glushkov, V. P. Didenko, N. T. Kuts, P. V. Likholat, M. I. Melnik, A. A. Muzyka, A. N Opalchenko, S. L. Ostapets, S. A. Tararukhin, S. V. Trofimov and others.

Currently, three doctors of legal sciences, professors A.V. Savchenko, V.I. Shakuni, V.I. Osadchiy, as well as nineteen candidates of legal sciences work at the department of criminal law under the patronage of the rector, General of Police V.V. Cherney.

Department of Criminology

It was created in May 1977. During their educational and scientific activities, such famous scientists as Yu. V. Alexandrov, V. A. Glushkov, A. N. Dzhuzha, A. F. Zelinsky, E. N. Moiseev, worked here (and some still work) here. A. I. Roshchin, A. P. Severov, D. E. Tikhomirov and others.

Currently, the department includes such legal scholars as:

• Doctors of Law, Professors A. N. Dzhuzha and A. G. Kolb.
• Professor V.V. Vasilevich.
• Candidates of Legal Sciences, Associate Professors Yu. A. Levchenko, N. V. Kulakova, L. V. Kryzhnaya, E. V. Rasyuk, G. I. Pishchenko, G. S. Polishchuk.
• Candidates of Legal Sciences A. V. Mikitchik, T. V. Mironyuk.
• Associate Professor A.V. Kirilyuk.

Department specialists work closely with law enforcement agencies, other educational institutions, scientific institutes and institutions. This is due to the fact that only the unification of the efforts of scientists and the combination of their activities with professional experience when studying various theoretical and practical issues allows you to deeply explore current and controversial problems of criminology, visually introducing future lawyers to them.

National Academy of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in Kyiv: faculties and institutes

About 15,000 future law enforcement officers are studying at the university. The Academy has a branched structure with branches located both in the capital itself and in the regions. This:

On the basis of NAVD there are 15 general academic departments, 16 departments, and an orchestra.

An example to the younger generation

Many teachers and staff of the academy went through difficult front-line and partisan paths. War experience, personal involvement in the Great Victory, a sense of responsibility for comrades, and the ability to work with people allowed former fighters against the Nazi invaders to become active part management and teaching staff of the academy.

They are always at the educational forefront, devoting their knowledge, experience, strength and energy to the training and education of the younger generation of human rights defenders. By the way, the veterans’ organization recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of its activities. It is known as one of the active and powerful centers among the capital’s universities.

The staff of the Ukrainian Internal Affairs Directorate has never stood aside from the problems arising in society in different times: and in the terrible 1986, when the world shuddered from the consequences of the explosion Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and later, during the liquidation of the consequences of the earthquake in Armenia and floods in Transcarpathia. At that time, the academy’s employees were in the forefront of volunteers, doing everything possible to protect the lives and health of thousands of citizens and the development of the national economy.

Today, the rectorate of the National Internal Affairs Directorate is headed by V.V. Cherney (police general of the 2nd rank). The leaders include the first vice-rector - S. D. Gusarev, vice-rectors S. S. Chernyavsky, R. A. Serbin, A. P. Zapototsky. Teachers try to be an example for cadets just beginning to learn about life.

An excerpt characterizing the National Academy of Internal Affairs of Ukraine

After dinner, Natasha went to her room and again took Princess Marya’s letter. - “Is it really all over? she thought. Did all this really happen so quickly and destroy everything that was before”! She recalled with all her former strength her love for Prince Andrei and at the same time felt that she loved Kuragin. She vividly imagined herself as the wife of Prince Andrei, imagined the picture of happiness with him repeated so many times in her imagination, and at the same time, flushed with excitement, imagined all the details of her yesterday's meeting with Anatole.
“Why couldn’t it be together? sometimes, in complete eclipse, she thought. Then only I would be completely happy, but now I have to choose and without either of both I cannot be happy. One thing, she thought, to say what was meant to Prince Andrei or to hide it is equally impossible. And nothing is spoiled with this. But is it really possible to part forever with this happiness of Prince Andrei’s love, which I lived with for so long?”
“Young lady,” the girl said in a whisper with a mysterious look, entering the room. - One person told me to tell it. The girl handed over the letter. “Only for Christ’s sake,” the girl was still saying when Natasha, without thinking, mechanical movement she broke the seal and read Anatole’s love letter, from which she, without understanding a word, understood only one thing - that this letter was from him, from the man she loves. “Yes, she loves, otherwise how could what happened happen? Could there be a love letter from him in her hand?”
With shaking hands, Natasha held this passionate, love letter, composed for Anatoly by Dolokhov, and, reading it, found in it echoes of everything that it seemed to her that she herself felt.
“Since last night, my fate has been decided: to be loved by you or to die. I have no other choice,” the letter began. Then he wrote that he knew that her relatives would not give her to him, Anatoly, that there were secret reasons for this that he alone could reveal to her, but that if she loved him, then she should say this word yes, and no human forces will not interfere with their bliss. Love will conquer everything. He will kidnap and take her to the ends of the world.
“Yes, yes, I love him!” thought Natasha, re-reading the letter for the twentieth time and looking for some special deep meaning in every word.
That evening Marya Dmitrievna went to the Arkharovs and invited the young ladies to go with her. Natasha stayed at home under the pretext of a headache.

Returning late in the evening, Sonya entered Natasha's room and, to her surprise, found her not undressed, sleeping on the sofa. On the table next to her lay an open letter from Anatole. Sonya took the letter and began to read it.
She read and looked at the sleeping Natasha, looking on her face for an explanation of what she was reading, but did not find it. The face was quiet, meek and happy. Clutching her chest so as not to suffocate, Sonya, pale and trembling with fear and excitement, sat down on a chair and burst into tears.
“How did I not see anything? How could it have gone this far? Has she really stopped loving Prince Andrei? And how could she let Kuragin do this? He is a deceiver and a villain, that much is clear. What will happen to Nicolas, sweet, noble Nicolas, when he finds out about this? So this is what her excited, determined and unnatural face meant the third day, both yesterday and today, Sonya thought; but it cannot be that she loves him! Probably, not knowing from whom, she opened this letter. She's probably offended. She can't do this!
Sonya wiped away her tears and walked up to Natasha, again peering into her face.
- Natasha! – she said barely audible.
Natasha woke up and saw Sonya.
- Oh, she’s back?
And with the determination and tenderness that happens in moments of awakening, she hugged her friend, but noticing the embarrassment on Sonya’s face, Natasha’s face expressed embarrassment and suspicion.
- Sonya, have you read the letter? - she said.
“Yes,” Sonya said quietly.
Natasha smiled enthusiastically.
- No, Sonya, I can’t do it anymore! - she said. “I can’t hide it from you anymore.” You know, we love each other!... Sonya, my dear, he writes... Sonya...
Sonya, as if not believing her ears, looked at Natasha with all her eyes.
- And Bolkonsky? - she said.
- Oh, Sonya, oh, if only you could know how happy I am! - Natasha said. -You don’t know what love is...
– But, Natasha, is it really all over?
Natasha looked at Sonya with big, open eyes, as if not understanding her question.
- Well, are you refusing Prince Andrei? - said Sonya.
“Oh, you don’t understand anything, don’t talk nonsense, just listen,” Natasha said with instant annoyance.
“No, I can’t believe it,” Sonya repeated. - I don't understand. How did you love one person for a whole year and suddenly... After all, you only saw him three times. Natasha, I don’t believe you, you’re being naughty. In three days, forget everything and so...
“Three days,” Natasha said. “It seems to me that I have loved him for a hundred years.” It seems to me that I have never loved anyone before him. You can't understand this. Sonya, wait, sit here. – Natasha hugged and kissed her.
“They told me that this happens and you heard correctly, but now I have only experienced this love.” It's not what it used to be. As soon as I saw him, I felt that he was my master, and I was his slave, and that I could not help but love him. Yes, slave! Whatever he tells me, I will do. You don't understand this. What should I do? What should I do, Sonya? - Natasha said with a happy and frightened face.
“But think about what you’re doing,” said Sonya, “I can’t leave it like that.” These secret letters... How could you let him do this? - she said with horror and disgust, which she could hardly hide.
“I told you,” Natasha answered, “that I have no will, how can you not understand this: I love him!”
“Then I won’t let this happen, I’ll tell you,” Sonya screamed with tears breaking through.
“What are you doing, for God’s sake... If you tell me, you are my enemy,” Natasha spoke. - You want my misfortune, you want us to be separated...
Seeing this fear of Natasha, Sonya cried tears of shame and pity for her friend.
- But what happened between you? – she asked. -What did he tell you? Why doesn't he go to the house?
Natasha did not answer her question.
“For God’s sake, Sonya, don’t tell anyone, don’t torture me,” Natasha begged. – You remember that you cannot interfere in such matters. I opened it for you...
– But why these secrets! Why doesn't he go to the house? – Sonya asked. - Why doesn’t he directly seek your hand? After all, Prince Andrei gave you complete freedom, if that’s the case; but I don't believe it. Natasha, have you thought about what secret reasons there could be?
Natasha looked at Sonya with surprised eyes. Apparently, this was the first time she had asked this question and she didn’t know how to answer it.
– I don’t know what the reasons are. But there are reasons!
Sonya sighed and shook her head in disbelief.
“If there were reasons...” she began. But Natasha, guessing her doubt, interrupted her in fear.
- Sonya, you can’t doubt him, you can’t, you can’t, do you understand? – she shouted.
– Does he love you?
- Does he love you? – Natasha repeated with a smile of regret about her friend’s lack of understanding. – You read the letter, did you see it?
- But what if he is an ignoble person?
– Is he!... an ignoble person? If only you knew! - Natasha said.
“If he is a noble man, then he must either declare his intention or stop seeing you; and if you don’t want to do this, then I will do it, I will write to him, I will tell dad,” Sonya said decisively.
