Image of a modern military specialist in the context of traditions and modernity of the armed forces of the Russian Federation

the development of pedagogical thought and the entire system of professional military education in the RSFSR and the Soviet Union was characterized by the promotion of innovative concepts focused on the formation of a fundamentally new army and commander, whose approaches to training were radically different from the pre-revolutionary ones. But these theoretical developments, having been severely tested by a series of military conflicts and incessant wars, have undergone correction and selection. As a result, Soviet military pedagogy not only ensured the continuity of the best traditions of pre-revolutionary officer education, but also contributed to the development of fruitful innovative ideas. The purpose of this study is to identify the key principles of professional education of officers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, based on the pedagogical experience of Soviet military leaders. It is assumed that these principles will contribute to improving the effectiveness of training and education of cadets in modern Russian military schools.
