The Moscow Higher Combined Arms Command School "Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR" (abbreviated to MVOKU) is a higher military educational institution of the Russian Armed Forces. The school was formed in December 15, 1917 (O.S., December 28 N.S.), by order of Vladimir Lenin as the 1st Moscow revolutionary machine gun officers school. It later became the 1st Moscow Machine Gunners' Officers Course and "WPRA 1st Soviet Higher Military School All-Russian Central Executive Committee". In 1938 it received the first of its three order medals, the Order of the Red Banner, as a result of its Corps of Cadets and some alumni of the school who fought the Battle of Khalkhin Gol. During the Second World War, on the Eastern Front, cadets and faculty at the school contributed to the defense of the Moscow Region and the city itself. Many of its cadets and alumni later received state medals and decorations (several were awarded posthumously). In October 1941, the school was granted the honorary title "Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR". More information...
