The building, originally constructed as the Vladimir Cadet Corps, was built to the design of Russian architect Ivan Shtrom. History In 1847, the nobility from a number of Southwestern (Ukrainian) Russian ''guberniyas'' (Kyiv, Volyn, Podolie, Kherson and Tavrida) collected 200,000 rubles for construction of a school building for children of nobles from those ''guberniyas''.

Emperor Nicholas I of Russia granted the petition, and in the same year, he visited Kyiv to pick a spot for the new school. In the meantime, it was agreed to temporarily conduct all classes in the First Kyiv Gymnasium (today the 'Yellow Building' of Kyiv University). The construction was entrusted to the ...

Lieutenant General
Lieutenant general (Lt Gen, LTG and similar) is a three-star military rank (NATO code OF-8) used in many countries. The rank traces its origins to the Middle Ages, where the title of lieutenant general was held by the second-in-command on the battlefield, who was normally subordinate to a captain general. In modern armies, lieutenant general normally ranks immediately below general and above major general; it is equivalent to the navy rank of vice admiral, and in air forces with a separate rank structure, it is equivalent to air marshal. A lieutenant general commands an army corps, made up of typically three army divisions, and consisting of around 60 000 to 70 000 soldiers (U.S.). The seeming incongruity that a lieutenant general outranks a major general (whereas a major outranks a lieutenant) is due to the derivation of major general from sergeant major general, which was a rank subordinate to lieutenant general (as a lieutenant outranks a sergeant major). In contrast, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
