Cadet Corps ( Russia ) The Cadet Corps ( in Russian : " Kadetskiy Korpus , Кадетский Корпус " ) is an admissions - based all boys military academy which prepared boys to become commissioned officers . Boys between the ages of 8 and 15 were enrolled . It was founded in Saint Petersburg , Russian Empire in 1731 by Empress Anna . The term of education was seven years . All instructors had a military rank , and taught a full program of military preparation . In 1766 Catherine the Great ' s educational reforms broadened the curriculum to include the sciences , philosophy , ethics , history , and international law . A graduate from the corps became a junker and had prime candidacy for a military career . During the October Revolution and the 1917 - 23 Russian Civil War , cadets and junkers unanimously supported the White movement ( Anti - bolshevik ) . A small portion of cadets were able to evacuate with the White Army towards the end of Russian Civil War to western countries . Subsequently , the Soviet Government executed or imprisoned all surviving cadets to Siberian GULAG slave labor camps . Fifteen years later , according to Alexander Solzhenitsyn , none remained alive and free inside USSR . During World War II a number of White emigre cadets joined the Russian Corps , feeling it was a means of continuing the battle against the Bolshevik regime . After World War II , with the emigration of cadets to the United States , Canada , Argentina , and Australia , White emigre cadet corps ceased to function . A cadet union was formed to unite the graduates of the cadet corps . Many cadets who escaped alive formed cadet corps in other countries , most notably in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia ( Bela Crkva ) , where they received the patronage of Alexander I of Yugoslavia - himself a graduate from the St . Petersburg cadet corps . After the fall of the USSR , cadet corps were re - established in Russia .
