The first head of the school, Major General Alexey Kuzmin, was a key player in the founding of the school. The first set of pupils, specifically 514 students, came from a host of different backgrounds, including teenagers who had served with their adult counterparts as intelligence officers, signalmen, or members of partisan detachments. On December 1, 1943, the first academic year began, with the school receiving the

) still having relevance to this day. In September 1947, the Oryol Suvorov Military School was transferred to the city of Sverdlovsk and by May 1948, became the Sverdlovsk Suvorov Military School. In 1948, the first graduation of cadets took place, with the following pupils graduating with gold and silver medals: Yuri Chubarov, Evgeny Tyurutikov, Konstantin Churikov and Vladimir Anikanov. All four of their names, as well as the names of subsequent graduates and medalists, are listed in the hall of fame in the foyer of the school. In May 1953, the Sverdlovsk Suvorov Military School was reorganized into the Sverdlovsk Suvorov Officers School, which resulted in the graduation of 100 pupils with the rank of lieutenant the next year. In January 1958, the school was reverted to its former name, and would stay this way until the city's name change in 1991. From then on, the school has been known publicly as the Yekaterinburg Suvorov Military School (EkSVU). 20 years later, the school accepted its first foreign cadets who were from neighboring
