Academy history

The almost hundred-year history of its formation dates back to June 11, 1921, with the founding of local police courses in the Kharkov province. This date is considered the birthday of the current National Academy of Internal Affairs. A year later, on the basis of the courses, the School of Senior Commanders of the Workers' and Peasants' Militia of the Ukrainian SSR was created, and by the decision of the Council of People's Commissars of the Ukrainian SSR dated December 25, 1922, the School was reorganized and accepted for state support. After further necessary organizational measures, on October 23, 1923, the institution was renamed the All-Ukrainian School of Police and Criminal Investigation. Once again, the educational institution received republican status and began to train senior command staff for police agencies throughout Ukraine.

In 1925, the All-Ukrainian School was relocated from Kharkov to Kyiv, where in 1936 the educational institution received a new name - the School of Senior Commanders of the Workers' and Peasants' Militia named after V. A. Balitsky, and a year later - the Kiev School of Improvement of the Commanders of the Workers' and Peasants' Militia . It existed in this status until the summer of 1941.

At the end of World War II, the school resumed its work. Subsequently, it had a number of reorganizations and renamings.

A defining milestone in the history of the educational institution was 1960 - the year of the creation of the Higher School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Ukrainian SSR by merging a branch of the Higher School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR and the Kyiv Special Secondary School of Police (since 1968, the educational institution began to be called the Kyiv Higher School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR). It was from then that its development as a higher educational institution began.

After the declaration of independence of Ukraine, by a resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated January 27, 1992, the Ukrainian Academy of Internal Affairs was created, recognizing it as the main scientific, educational and methodological center in the system of departmental higher educational institutions, and in December 1996, according to the Decree of the President of Ukraine, the academy was again granted the status of National . Nine years later, in September 2005, the academy was renamed the Kiev National University of Internal Affairs. By order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine “On the reorganization of some higher educational institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs” dated August 27, 2010 No. 1709-r, the KNUVD was reorganized into the National Academy of Internal Affairs.

The present

The National Academy of Internal Affairs provides educational services for the training of specialists with bachelor's and master's degrees in the following specialties: "Law", "Law Enforcement", "Public Management and Administration" and "Psychology". More than 15 thousand trainees, cadets and students study in specialized institutes and faculties, full-time and part-time. Since 2016, the Department of Military Training of Reserve Officers has been operating.

Children whose parents are law enforcement officers were killed or injured in the line of duty, including in the area of ​​the anti-terrorist operation, study at the legal lyceum.

Our graduates serve in various positions in every division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine and the National Police of Ukraine, and also work in the prosecutor's office, justice, SBU, State Fiscal Service, State Penitentiary Service, judicial authorities, in the legal field, etc. Among them are current and former heads of central executive authorities, departments of the law enforcement and judicial systems. It was the National Academy that trained the first patrol police officers for Kyiv and the region and successfully continues this activity. The Academy is a member of the Association of European Police Colleges, a participant in the Conference of Heads of Police Higher Education Institutions of Central and Eastern European Countries, maintains working relations with international organizations, educational and police institutions in many countries, and provides training for UN peacekeeping missions.

The NAWD operates six specialized scientific councils for the defense of dissertations for higher education degrees of Doctor of Science and Doctor of Philosophy, open in nine specialties. Scientific schools have been formed and are successfully developing on the problems of Ukrainian constitutionalism, the theoretical foundations of ensuring human rights and freedoms, administrative law and process, civil and economic law, criminal law, criminal procedure and criminology, criminology and penal law, philosophy of law and legal psychology, theories and practices of operational-search activities, police science, etc. Attention is also focused on modern areas of research in legal comparative studies, criminological victimology, economic security, psychological rehabilitation, the introduction of polygraph technologies, etc.

A number of studies have been confirmed by state patents for inventions and awarded state awards. The academy's personnel are a reserve of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a reliable partner of the capital's police garrison in ensuring public security and order during mass events in Kyiv and the region.

Based on the results of annual independent sociological research, NAVD confirms its fairly high rating - it has been repeatedly awarded the authoritative “Sofia of Kiev” award and recognized as the best higher education institution in the law enforcement system.

Thus, gradually strengthening its potential in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the academy is now developing in all areas of innovative educational activities and has established itself as a leading scientific and methodological center, a basic institution for training a new generation of law enforcement officers.

2010.

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 UN peacekeeping forces.

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 all the personnel died in battles for the Motherland.

Post-war development

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 Kyiv, 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. A new stage in the development and improvement of the activities of the future National Academy of Internal Affairs of Ukraine has begun. The 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 of a 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 state have necessitated 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 government figures to promote the development of science, exchange experience, coordinate efforts and mutual assistance in scientific activities. 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 in the study of various theoretical and practical issues makes it possible to deeply explore current and controversial problems of criminology and clearly introduce 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:

• Faculties No. 1 (Kyiv), No. 2 (Kyiv) and Prykarpatsky No. 3 (Ivano-Frankivsk).
• Institutes: criminal-executive service, postgraduate education (both are located in Kyiv).
• Educational and scientific institutes No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 (Kyiv).
• Zhytomyr correspondence department of jurisprudence.
• Postgraduate studies.
• Doctoral studies.
• Legal Lyceum named after Kondratiev.

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 an active part of the academy’s management and teaching staff.

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 that arise in society at different times: both in the terrible 1986, when the world shook from the consequences of the explosion at the 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

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, thought Sonya; 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 Andrey? - 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.
