Military commissioning schools in Russia

The Russian military education system, inherited from the Soviet Union, trains officer-specialists in narrowly-defined military occupational specialties. Modern Russian military educational institutions conducting commissioning programmes may have different names (academy, institute, higher school), it stems from tradition and has no effect on the content of aforementioned programmes. At the moment, some commissioning schools also conduct warrant officer programmes. List of Russian military educational institutions conducting commissioning officer training programmes
