Transfer of the Military School to the Estonian Authorities

Jägala training center, located outside of Tallinn, was part of the school. It was handed over by Soviet/Russian forces to the Kalevi Battalion of Estonian Defence forces in 1992. This transfer was also the first peaceful take-over done by the Estonian Armed Forces. Former masters were given 3 days to move out and take their clothing and food supplies with them.[3] The Estonian authorities refused to appeal to TVVPSU command with requests for permission to export property and equipment to Russia. But despite the difficulties, valuable property was managed to be taken out by air and transferred to other military schools, part of the property and the universal computing complex were transferred to the Russian Embassy in Estonia, the rest to military units deployed in Tallinn, which came under the jurisdiction of the Russian Armed Forces.

gollark: You could say that about most people.

  2. "30 октября 1980 года начальник политического управления военно-строительных частей Минобороны СССР генерал-полковник В.И. Быченко вручил училищу Боевое Знамя. After the fall of the USSR, the Estonian Government tried to expel the cadets of the school. 28 апреля 1992 года ТВВПСУ досрочно произвело последний выпуск 255 офицеров. Наряду с военной профессией они получили квалификацию «социальный педагог». До конца мая 1992 года около 700 курсантов были переведены в другие военные училища в России. Эстонская сторона не раз предпринимала попытки силой захватить училищное имущество, вооружение, технику и казарменно-жилищный фонд. Например, 21 июня 1992 года эстонская военизированная организация «Кайтсейлит» совершила вооружённое нападение на училищный учебный центр Ягала. Эстонские власти отвечали отказами на обращения командования ТВВПСУ с просьбами дать разрешение на вывоз имущества и техники в Россию. Но вопреки трудностям ценное имущество удалось вывезти воздушным транспортом и передать в другие военные училища, часть имущества и универсальный вычислительный комплекс были переданы посольству России в Эстонии, оставшаяся часть — дислоцировавшимся в Таллинне воинским частям, перешедшим под юрисдикцию Российской Федерации. В начале июня 1992 года Боевое Знамя училища было сдано на хранение в Центральный музей Вооружённых сил, расформирование вуза завершено 25 апреля 1993 года".
