On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the formation of the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, cadets visited the grave of former chief of the university, Major-General Militia Ivan Sergey.
The cadets laid flowers and honored the memory of an officer whose name was forever included in the history of the academy.
Ivan Stepanovich in 1972 graduated from the Grodno Technical College of Physical Culture under the Council of Ministers of the BSSR, in 1981 - the Brest State Pedagogical Institute named after Pushkin, and already in 1986 - the Minsk Higher School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR (now - the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs). Crossing the threshold of the alma mater, the law-enforcement officer probably could not even imagine that after two decades he would become the head of the university.
Service in the internal affairs bodies Ivan Stepanovich began in 1977 as a juvenile inspector at the Shchuchin DDIA. In this department later held executive positions, and then stood at the helm of the Department of Internal Affairs of various regions. So, in 1999-2001 he was deputy head of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Grodno Executive Committee, in 2001-2005 he headed the Mogilev Regional Executive Committee of the Internal Affairs Directorate, and in 2005 - the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Minsk Regional Executive Committee. The Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs led in 2008-2009. Ivan Stepanovich was awarded medals "For impeccable service" of three degrees, jubilee and commemorative awards.
The cadets of the police high school remain faithful to traditions and cherish historical memory. Visiting memorials and graves is an important tradition of the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Tradition is significant for all generations.
