city and war

And two thousand years of war.The war without any special cause.“The star called the Sun” (band Kino)Throughout its history, humanity has been fighting almost constantly. Cities were designed either as fortresses capable to hold the fort, or as permeable structures, which can be quickly restored after destruction. People, whose profession is meant for war, have always been a special caste and evoked a special attitude. We are witnessing an unprecedented process: the war changes its character, becomes undeclared, invisible, hybrid. How will a city, its appearance and functions respond to the new concepts of the war? How should we preserve, study and comprehend the military experience of the previous eras, the experience of educating “people of war” embodied in architecture of military schools?Not so long ago, historic Irkutsk lost the complex of Red Barracks related to the history of Port Arthur. The place is troubled again. While there is no problem with the building of the military school (the Ministry of Defense took it under their wing and is transforming it into the Suvorov School), there is a real war for preservation of exactly the same building of the cadet corps, which is fought in courts and public structures. As usual, we don't try to take these issues off the table or to hide away from inconvenient topics, but start discussing them in a series of articles.

A very important Romanian historical event took place on 14 May 1968 when General Charles de Gaulle, the president of The French Fifth Republic, visited Bucharest, an initiative stemming from this visionary head of state’s idea of a unified Europe stretching “from the Atlantic to the Urals’. Have you heard of Romanian generals Polihron Dumitrescu and Ioan Heruvim? Charles de Gaulle’s visit proved quite difficult to manage for the communist regime, one of the difficulties being the French general’s meeting with these two generals, former classmates from the Special Military School of Saint-Cyr. His itinerary included the cities of Craiova and Târgoviște because of these expectedly emotional meetings with Dumitrescu and Heruvim, the former having been de Gaulle’s class president, and the latter one of its most brilliant students, and the city of Cetatea Băniei where the French general performed an official military salute.

The correlation between self-esteem and psychological health of cadets of the Suvorov Military School of the MIA of Russia

The relevance of studying the self- assessment of cadets of the Suvorov Military School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and its relationship with psychological health is due to the need to increase the effectiveness of the system of psychological support for cadets during the period of pre-university education, the purpose of which is to compensate for the deficiencies in the adaptive abilities of adolescents and their further personal and professional self-determination. One of the main criteria for assessing a cadet’s career opportunities in the law enforcement system is his self-assessment. A young man entering the Suvorov Military School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia does not always proportion the level of his physical, intellectual and personal capabilities with those requirements of the educational environment of a military school. The inability of adolescents to adequately assess their strengths and weaknesses complicates the process of professional self-determination, in connection with which a significant percentage of the pupils who entered the school experience difficulties in adaptation, are disappointed in their choice and make a decision to expel. The study resulted in a correlation between the self-esteem of the cadets of the Suvorov Military School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia with the resource of their psychological health, reflecting the ratio of constructive and destructive-deficient central (unconscious) personality functions. Another finding is a significant difference in the self-assessment of cadets assigned to different groups of psychological health. The practical significance of the research findings is determined by the possibility of their effective use in the system of psychological support for pre-university training of cadets of the Suvorov military school, including the period of mass psycho-prophylactic examinations and the provision of targeted psychological assistance to cadets with low self-assessment.
