History edit

The Military Lyceum of the Defense Ministry was established on February 4, 1999, on the basis of the Special Republican Boarding School (Commonly known as the "Suvorov School" due to its similarities to the Suvorov Military School),[2] which was established on September 29, 1985.[3] The first reactor of the military lyceum was Major General Mirzo Jonov. At the time of its founding in 1985, 80 pupils were enrolled in the school, with thousands of people coming from the Russian, Ukrainian, Uzbek, Azerbaijani, and Lithuanian SSR's. In 1999, the Special Republican Boarding School was renamed in honor of Mastibek Tashmukhamedov. It has been under the control of the Tajik Defence Ministry since 2003,[4] and since 1999, school has had over 1801 pupils.

Aspects edit

The lyceum building has a conference hall, educational classrooms, sports halls, amusement parks and a library of over 4 thousand books.[5] In October 2014, the Russian 201st Military Base donated more than 600 textbooks to the lyceum as a gift.[6] In previous years, cadets have visited the base on open days[7] and sports competitions.[8] 400 young men between the ages of 14 and 16 are trained at the military lyceum every school year. After graduation, they go to Russian universities, then replenish the officer corps of the Ministry of Defense.[6]

In 2008, in honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Tashmukhamedov, a bust was unveiled at the lyceum.[9][10] Tokhir Khayrulloyev, the son of former defense minister Sherali Khayrulloyev, is a graduate of the school.[11]
