History

On August 31, 2016, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed Russian Defense Minister Army General Sergey Shoigu to establish a branch of the Nakhimov Naval School in Murmansk. Construction of the building began and continued for a little over a year when it was completed on September 1, 2017. The complex was the first Nakhimov school built in Russia since the first school was opened in St. Petersburg in 1944.

By September 2018, the school will have a 320-bed dormitory, a sports complex with a swimming pool and an ice skating rink, and an indoor sports complex with stands and a playground for mini-football and shooting. On March 2, 2018, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu presented the banner of the Ministry of Defense to the school. On May 9, 2018, the school took part in its first national celebration by taking part in the Victory Parade on Five Corners Square in Murmansk as part of the drum corps.[1][2][3][4][5][6].
