A smaller badge indicating graduation from the Naval Cadet Corps. Modern badge of a graduate of the Omsk Cadet Corps. Badges of some modern military educational institutions

From the book: V. M. Krylova “Cadet corps and Russian cadets”

The symbolism of the cadet corps should include, first of all, badges military educational institutions, tokens, issued to each cadet, as well as banners, the highest granted to the cadet corps by the reigning persons. Most of these symbols of military history and military glory are genuine works of art of the finest workmanship, material monuments of their time. They told a lot about the military educational institutions of Tsarist Russia and undoubtedly deserve separate scientific research.
Signs and tokens, as honorary symbols of the cadet corps, played an important role in their lives. Small in size badges were very dear to the students, teachers, and officer-educators of these educational institutions, primarily as evidence of the community of cadets, as signs of memory. They were proudly worn on a uniform or uniform, and tokens- on a chain, on a button on the side of the uniform or as watch charms.
The creation of breastplates and tokens was treated very responsibly. In each individual case, a competition for sketch projects was announced. The submitted drawings and samples were submitted for the highest approval to the emperors or approval to the ministers of war. Made of silver and gold or inexpensive metal, finished with enamel, they still amaze jewelers today and are the subject of close study by military historians and specialists in the field of phaleristics.
An equally important element of symbolism is the banners of the cadet corps. Since ancient times, the banner has become a shrine - a symbol of a military formation (organization) and its honor. It consists of a double-sided panel of a certain color (or colors), mounted on a shaft with a metal tip-finial, with inscriptions, emblems and decorations. The banners of the cadet corps, first granted in 1732 and 1733 by Empress Anna Ioannovna to the Land Noble Cadet Corps 1, were no exception.

As illustrative material for the above, a description is given of the manufactured and approved designs of badges, badges and banners of the cadet corps, collected by the Military Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineering Troops and Signal Corps.

BANNERS OF CADET CORPS

The Military Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineering Troops and Signal Corps keeps a number of banners of cadet corps as historical relics. Of particular value is the banner of the Land Gentry Cadet Corps - one of the earliest examples.
The first banners of this corps were granted by Empress Anna Ioannovna in 1732: one white for the first company, two colored and a standard for cavalry company 7. In the center of the panel of each banner was a double-headed eagle with the coat of arms of the corps on the chest; in the corners there were flams (squares) with the monogram of Empress Anna Ioannovna. During the reign of Empresses Elizaveta Petrovna and Ekaterina Alekseevna, only the monograms of the reigning persons were replaced.

The banner of the Land Noble Cadet Corps of 1785 stored in the museum dates back to the reign of Catherine II 8 . It is a panel of white silk rep. In the center of the banner is a black double-headed eagle with outstretched wings, golden crowns on their heads and a large imperial crown above them. The eagle holds a scepter in its paw; the image of the second paw has not survived. On the eagle’s chest is the corps’ coat of arms in the form of a red heraldic shield, framed along the edges by St. Andrew’s chain and stylized golden acanthus leaves. In the center of the shield are crossed gilded swords entwined with acanthus and the rod of Mercury - caduceus 9. At the corners of the panel on red oval shields, surrounded by green laurel branches and a wide golden radiance, the gilded monograms of Empress Catherine II under the crown are depicted. The panel was trimmed on three sides with gilded fringe, which has now been lost. Shaft white. The pommel is missing. Previously, it looked like a bronze spear with a crown on top and the monogram of Catherine II inside the spear. The banner panel measuring 125x130 cm is badly torn and partially lost. In 1995, the museum carried out a historical reconstruction of this banner.
On April 2, 1844, Emperor Nicholas I ordered that all cadet corps have a large red cross. The 2nd Cadet Corps received a new banner on August 11, 1844 10
Previously, by the Highest Decree of July 25, 1838, the 2nd Cadet Corps was awarded anniversary insignia for its banners - the Order of St. Andrew's ribbon and a bracket on the pole, as the oldest military educational institution 11.

The museum contains a fragment, presumably, of this banner 12. It is part of a cross of red silk with a corner insert of yellow silk and white. The insert depicts a golden laurel wreath with the monogram of Nicholas I in the center and the imperial crown above it.
A fragment of the banner is mounted on a staff topped with a copper pommel in the form of a double-headed eagle under a crown. An eagle with a laurel wreath, a scroll and torches in its paws rests on a ball resting on a copper tube decorated with stylized acanthus leaves.
A silver braid with tassels and a commemorative silk ribbon are tied to the pommel tube. On one half of the ribbon, the inscription is embroidered horizontally with gilded threads: “1712 Moscow Engineering School. 1712 Artillery School and 1719 St. Petersburg Engineering School.” In front of the inscription is attached a gilded metal monogram of Peter I. On the wrong side of the ribbon below is attached the monogram of Nicholas I (lost).
On the other half of the ribbon was embroidered the inscription: “2nd Cadet Corps.” On the reverse side at the bottom there was an applied coat of arms of Russia (lost).
The tape is bent in half in the middle and fastened at the bend with a metal rectangular bracket with a ring for the cord. To the bracket, using a cap screw buttons, decorated with the image of a double-headed eagle, a bow is attached, on which the date of the award of the ribbon to the corps is embroidered: “1838”.
The anniversary banner of the 2nd Cadet Corps, model 1857, is also of great historical value. 13 The banner was presented to the corps in 1862 in connection with its 100th anniversary.
The double panel of the banner is made of blue silk wedges forming a cross, between the sides of which there are corner inserts of black and white silk with orange stripes along the seams. In the center of the cloth orange circle depicting the coat of arms of Russia. The circle is framed by a golden laurel wreath, and its top is crowned with a large imperial crown. Below the eagle is a blue ribbon with dates in gold paint: 1762-1862. The gilded monograms of Alexander II are placed in laurel wreaths at the corners of the panel. Banner pole black with a gilded copper pommel in the form of a double-headed eagle resting on a ball.
On the shaft there is a copper bracket with an engraved inscription and a thread. There is a lanyard tied under the cloth. A commemorative St. Andrew's Order ribbon of blue moire is tied to the pommel tube. On one half of the ribbon, the inscription is embroidered horizontally with gilded threads: “1762 Artillery and Engineering Gentry Cadet Corps.” In front of the inscription is attached a gilded metal monogram of Catherine II. The monogram of Alexander II is attached to the bottom side of it.

On the other half of the ribbon is embroidered the inscription: “2nd Cadet Corps.” On the reverse side there is an applied coat of arms of Russia at the bottom. The ribbon is bent in half in the middle and a bow is attached at the bend, on which the date of the award of the ribbon is embroidered: “1862”.
At the ends of the ribbon there are tassels made of gilded gimp.
The lanyard, applied monograms and the coat of arms of Russia from the ribbon have been lost.
In order to preserve the banner (the fabric is discolored and partially lost), in 1994 it was possible to recreate its historical reconstruction.
The last banner that the 2nd Cadet Corps received was the anniversary banner of the 1900 model, awarded to it in 1912 in connection with the 200th anniversary 14. Its panel is made of white silk, double-woven, measuring 110 x 120 cm. On the front side in the center is woven an image of the image of the Savior Not Made by Hands and the inscription: “God is with us.” The edges of the panel are framed by rectangular and square frames decorated with blue geometric patterns. A blue border with ten golden eight-pointed stars completes the composition of the left side of the panel. On its reverse side, in the center, there is the monogram of Nicholas II under the imperial crown, to the right and left of which there is an eight-pointed star. At the corners of the cloth are the coats of arms of Russia. Between them there are ornamented frames. In one of them (under the monogram of Nicholas II) there is a blue moire ribbon with the dates: 1712-1912.

The shaft has a gilded metal pommel in the form of a double-headed eagle resting on a ball and a bracket with an inscription. There is a metal inflow below. A commemorative St. Andrew's ribbon is tied to the top. On one half of it, at the top, an inscription in Old Russian script is embroidered horizontally with gilded threads:
"1712 Moscow Engineering School
1719 St. Petersburg Engineering School
1758 United Artillery and Engineering School
1762 Artillery and engineering gentry cadet corps
1800 2nd Cadet Corps."
In front of the inscription are attached gilded metal imperial monograms of Peter I, Elizabeth Petrovna, Catherine II and Paul I. On the inner side at the bottom is attached the monogram of Nicholas II.
On the other half of the ribbon is embroidered the inscription: “1912, 2nd Cadet Corps of Emperor Peter the Great.” On the reverse side, at the bottom, there is an applied coat of arms of Russia.
All applied monograms and the coat of arms of Russia have been lost.
The tape is bent in half in the middle and fastened at the bend with a metal rectangular bracket with a ring. To the bracket using a cap screw buttons with the image of a double-headed eagle, a bow is attached, on which the date of the award of the ribbon is embroidered: “1912”. Several banners of the Naval Cadet Corps are kept in the funds of the Central Naval Museum.

When studying the history of these banners, the period of the mid and late 19th - early 20th centuries is of greatest interest. It was at this time that anniversary banners appeared. In 1852-1901. The Naval Cadet Corps had a white anniversary banner with a wide St. Andrew's cross. On two of its crosspieces in a golden wreath with an imperial crown, the golden monogram of Nicholas I is depicted, on the other two - the golden coat of arms of the corps of the 1829 model: on the tip of the sword there is an imperial crown (until 1829 - without a crown). In the middle of the banner - in a golden laurel wreath with an imperial crown in an orange circle - is a black double-headed crowned eagle of the 1813 model (with lowered wings) with four nautical charts. Below are the golden jubilee dates: 1752-1852. The top of the banner is a simple Guards model from 1830: a golden double-headed eagle on a ball. The cloth is nailed to the white pole with gilded banner nails. At the lower end of the shaft there is a gilded underflow. Under the finial there are two silver tassels on a silver braid.
Of no less interest is the anniversary banner of the Naval Cadet Corps, approved by the Supreme Decree on May 8, 1900. It existed until 1917 and represented white cloth with a wide St. Andrew's cross. The crosspieces depicted the golden coat of arms of the corps and the monogram of Nicholas II under the imperial crown in a golden laurel wreath.
In the center of the banner in an orange circle in a laurel wreath under the imperial crown is a black crowned double-headed eagle of the 1857 model (with raised wings) with four cards. Below along the edge is a blue ribbon with golden anniversary dates: 1701-1901. The top of the 1857 sample is a golden double-headed eagle on a ball and a commemorative order banner ribbon.
In the Naval Cadet Corps, each company had its own flag. The Central Naval Museum houses St. Andrew's flag company of the Naval Cadet Corps, model 1900. It represents white a panel measuring 113x165 cm, which intersects the St. Andrew's cross.
In the center of the cross is the coat of arms of the Naval Cadet Corps: on a red field there is a golden broadsword, crowned with a golden imperial crown, under which a golden gradstaff and rudder are placed crosswise. Red the color symbolizes courage, bravery and generosity, the broadsword - the idea of fidelity to duty and oath, the rudder and gradstaff - naval attributes.

Andreevsky flag company of the Naval Cadet Corps, model 1900.

The decoration of each banner was the top. The funds of the Central Naval Museum contain the tops of banners from different periods, including one of the first banners of the Naval Gentry Cadet Corps of the 1764 model.
The pommel is bronze and gilded. The monogram of Catherine II, crowned with the imperial crown, is mounted in the slot.
The top of the banner of the Naval Cadet Corps, model 1891, deserves attention. It was approved in connection with the new heraldic reform. The named pommel is bronze, gilded, and has a double-headed eagle crowned with three imperial crowns. On the chest of an eagle sitting on a ball is the coat of arms of Moscow, around the coat of arms is a chain of the Order of St. Andrew the First-Called.
The banner was presented in 1891 in connection with the Highest command: ""Henceforth to call the naval school the Naval Cadet Corps."

Cadet system - a symbol of cohesion, collectivism, camaraderie. A cadet standing in the ranks draws and increases physical and moral strength at the front and strengthens his spirit. Feeling his friend’s shoulder nearby, the cadet clearly carries out commands not for the sake of fear, but in the name of what is called “distinction” in cadet language.

Cadet oath - a solemn promise to be a true patriot, to continue the glorious traditions of Russian cadets, to hold high the title of Russian cadet. The cadet oath and its acceptance is a symbol of entry into the cadet fraternity, a symbol of receiving a worthy and honorable title - cadet.

Cadet uniform - with its modest beauty and severity, it emphasizes the moral greatness of the military system, symbolizes absolute equality between cadets, places responsibility on the cadet for his behavior in the corps and beyond, and emphasizes involvement in military glory, military brotherhood, and the honor of the uniform. It is not enough to have a cadet uniform. To wear it, you need not only habit, but also skill. A uniform without military bearing is a civilian dressed in uniform.

The cadet corps of Russia had their own patron saint, an icon with whose face was in the House Church. The names of the great Russian warriors, national heroes who brought glory and honor to their Fatherland, who glorified their names with great deeds and canonized saints, were bestowed on the cadet corps, which symbolized the cadets’ desire to be worthy of these names.

The Kansk Naval Cadet Corps has its own Patron Saint. Since December 2001, with the blessing of Archbishop Anthony of Krasnoyarsk and Yenisei, the corps has been named after St. Apostle Andrew the First-Called, the patron saint of Russian military sailors.

Every year on December 13, a corps holiday is celebrated - the Day of the patron saint of the corps, and the Church of St. Andrew the First-Called became a corps temple, all ceremonial events begin with a thanksgiving prayer.

KMKK rituals

· Initiation into cadets. Taking the cadet oath

· Presentation of the Corps Banner

· Carrying out the annual corps holiday

· Conducting a drill review of corps students

· Assignment of special cadet ranks to cadets

· Farewell to graduates with the Banner of the Cadet Corps

Badge of completion of the full course of sciences of the Naval Cadet Corps- approved on April 19, 1910 for all persons who graduated from the Naval Cadet Corps; those naval officers who graduated from the corps when it had a different name also received the right to wear it. In 1914, the corps was given the patronage of the Heir to the Tsarevich, and therefore the appearance of the sign underwent slight changes. The badge was issued until the closure of the Naval School in Petrograd on March 7, 1918.

History of the award

Naval Cadet Corps.

Badge of completion of the full course of sciences of the Naval Cadet Corps. Obverse, reverse and twist. The sign is a complex piece of jewelry consisting of many parts: all the leaves of the wreath are made separately and soldered to a common base; the enamel shield, anchors and a double-headed eagle with cards in its paws and beaks are also independent parts.

The Marine Corps was an educational institution that trained naval officers. He was the successor to the School of Mathematical and Navigational Sciences established in Moscow in 1701. The Marine Corps changed its name several times: the Marine Corps in 1762-1867 and in 1906-1915; in 1891-1906 - the Naval Cadet Corps, in 1867-1891 and 1915-1918 - the Naval School. On November 6, 1914, the corps was given the patronage of the Heir to the Tsarevich.

The bulk of the cadets were hereditary nobles or children of personal nobles. When recruiting into the corps, preference was given to the sons and grandsons of naval officers. According to the approved states, there were 740 people in the corps. At the beginning of the twentieth century, class restrictions for admission to the Naval Corps were significantly reduced. For example, people whose parents had a higher education began to be allowed to take admission exams, regardless of class. Until 1910, the corps annually graduated 80-90 people, in 1911-1913 - an average of 119, and in 1914, together with accelerated graduation, it produced 260, in 1915 - 173, in 1916 and 1917 - 200 people each.

Since 1906, the corps graduated students as naval midshipmen (1860-1882 - naval midshipman, 1906-1917 - naval midshipman), and they received the first officer rank of midshipman only after practical sailing and passing exams of a special commission. According to their status, naval midshipmen enjoyed the “ordinary rights” (that is, rights with a number of restrictions) of second lieutenants in the Admiralty.

In 1915, after the Naval Corps was renamed the Naval School, its general classes were allocated to the Naval Cadet Corps in Sevastopol (where they were going to open the 2nd Naval Corps even before the war).

The Naval School in Petrograd was closed on March 7, 1918. Senior midshipmen received certificates of completion of the school, senior cadets received certificates of completion of general classes, and everyone was also given certificates of “military sailors of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Fleet.”

On April 19, 1910, a special gold badge was approved for all persons who graduated from the Naval Cadet Corps. Only documents were issued for the right to wear the badge, and the naval officer himself ordered the badge from a jewelry workshop. Therefore, there are signs that differ in elements and methods of execution.

In 1914, the corps was given the patronage of the Heir to the Tsarevich, and therefore the appearance of the sign underwent slight changes.

Statute of the award

Reasons for awarding

The right to wear the badge was given to naval officers who completed a full course of science in the Naval Cadet Corps, including those who graduated from the corps earlier, when it had a different name.

Description of the award

Appearance of the 1910 badge

Superimposed on the wreath are crossed silver oxidized anchors, on which lies the coat of arms of the Naval Corps (on a shield covered with red enamel, there are mounted gold crossed gradstaff, rudder and broadsword with the hilt down, with a gold crown on the tip). Around the coat of arms is a gold ribbon with gold tassels, covered with blue enamel. A gold inscription runs along the ribbon: “Navigation school / 1701 / 1901 / Naval cadet. bldg." Above the coat of arms is a silver oxidized double-headed eagle with outstretched wings, which holds four cards covered in white enamel in its beaks and paws. On the eagle's chest there is a shield with the Moscow coat of arms.

On the reverse side of the sign there was a fastening for wearing on clothing. Depending on the manufacturer, the fastening was different: screw or on a vertical pin.

Size: 50x37 mm.

Appearance of the sign after 1914

Examples of awards

The following officers had the right to wear the badge of completion of a full course of science in the Naval Cadet Corps.

The symbols of the cadet corps include, first of all, the badges of military educational institutions, tokens issued to each cadet, as well as banners bestowed upon the cadet corps by the reigning persons. Most of these symbols of military history and military glory are genuine works of art of the finest workmanship, material monuments of their time. They told a lot about the military educational institutions of Tsarist Russia and undoubtedly deserve separate scientific research.
Badges and tokens, as honorary symbols of the cadet corps, played an important role in their lives. Small-sized badges were very dear to students, teachers, and officer-educators of these educational institutions, primarily as evidence of the cadets’ community, as signs of memory. They were proudly worn on a uniform or uniform, and the tokens were worn on a chain, on a button on the side of the uniform, or as watch charms.
The creation of breastplates and tokens was treated very responsibly. In each individual case, a competition for sketch projects was announced. The submitted drawings and samples were submitted for the highest approval to the emperors or approval to the ministers of war. Made of silver and gold or inexpensive metal, finished with enamel, they still amaze jewelers today and are the subject of close study by military historians and specialists in the field of phaleristics.
An equally important element of symbolism is the banners of the cadet corps. Since ancient times, the banner has become a shrine - a symbol of a military formation (organization) and its honor. It consists of a double-sided panel of a certain color (or colors), mounted on a shaft with a metal tip-finial, with inscriptions, emblems and decorations. The banners of the cadet corps, first granted in 1732 and 1733 by Empress Anna Ioannovna to the Land Noble Cadet Corps 1, were no exception.

3.4. BANNERS OF CADET CORPS

The Military Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineering Troops and Signal Corps keeps a number of banners of cadet corps as historical relics. Of particular value is the banner of the Land Gentry Cadet Corps - one of the earliest examples.
The first banners for this corps were granted by Empress Anna Ioannovna in 1732: one white for the first company, two colored and a standard for the cavalry company 7. In the center of the panel of each banner was a double-headed eagle with the coat of arms of the corps on the chest; in the corners there were flams (squares) with the monogram of Empress Anna Ioannovna. During the reign of Empresses Elizaveta Petrovna and Ekaterina Alekseevna, only the monograms of the reigning persons were replaced.

The banner of the Land Noble Cadet Corps of 1785 stored in the museum dates back to the reign of Catherine II 8 . It is a panel of white silk rep. In the center of the banner is a black double-headed eagle with outstretched wings, golden crowns on their heads and a large imperial crown above them. The eagle holds a scepter in its paw; the image of the second paw has not survived. On the eagle’s chest is the corps’ coat of arms in the form of a red heraldic shield, framed along the edges by St. Andrew’s chain and stylized golden acanthus leaves. In the center of the shield are crossed gilded swords entwined with acanthus and the rod of Mercury - caduceus 9. At the corners of the panel on red oval shields, surrounded by green laurel branches and a wide golden radiance, the gilded monograms of Empress Catherine II under the crown are depicted. The panel was trimmed on three sides with gilded fringe, which has now been lost. The shaft is white. The pommel is missing. Previously, it looked like a bronze spear with a crown on top and the monogram of Catherine II inside the spear. The banner panel measuring 125x130 cm is badly torn and partially lost. In 1995, the museum carried out a historical reconstruction of this banner.
On April 2, 1844, Emperor Nicholas I ordered that all cadet corps have a large red cross on their banners. The 2nd Cadet Corps received a new banner on August 11, 1844 10
Previously, by the Highest Decree of July 25, 1838, the 2nd Cadet Corps was awarded anniversary insignia for its banners - the Order of St. Andrew's ribbon and a bracket on the pole, as the oldest military educational institution 11.

The museum contains a fragment, presumably, of this banner 12. It is part of a cross of red silk with a corner insert of yellow silk and white. The insert depicts a golden laurel wreath with the monogram of Nicholas I in the center and the imperial crown above it.
A fragment of the banner is mounted on a staff topped with a copper pommel in the form of a double-headed eagle under a crown. An eagle with a laurel wreath, a scroll and torches in its paws rests on a ball resting on a copper tube decorated with stylized acanthus leaves.
A silver braid with tassels and a commemorative silk ribbon are tied to the pommel tube. On one half of the ribbon, the inscription is embroidered horizontally with gilded threads: “1712 Moscow Engineering School. 1712 Artillery School and 1719 St. Petersburg Engineering School.” In front of the inscription is attached a gilded metal monogram of Peter I. On the wrong side of the ribbon below is attached the monogram of Nicholas I (lost).
On the other half of the ribbon was embroidered the inscription: “2nd Cadet Corps.” On the reverse side at the bottom there was an applied coat of arms of Russia (lost).
The tape is bent in half in the middle and fastened at the bend with a metal rectangular bracket with a ring for the cord. A bow is attached to the bracket using a screw with a head in the form of a button, decorated with the image of a double-headed eagle, on which the date of award of the ribbon to the corps is embroidered: “1838”.
The anniversary banner of the 2nd Cadet Corps, model 1857, is also of great historical value. 13 The banner was presented to the corps in 1862 in connection with its 100th anniversary.
The double panel of the banner is made of blue silk wedges forming a cross, between the sides of which there are corner inserts of black and white silk with orange stripes along the seams. In the center of the cloth there is an orange circle depicting the coat of arms of Russia. The circle is framed by a golden laurel wreath, and its top is crowned with a large imperial crown. Below the eagle is a blue ribbon with dates in gold paint: 1762-1862. The gilded monograms of Alexander II are placed in laurel wreaths at the corners of the panel. The flagpole is black with a gilded copper pommel in the form of a double-headed eagle resting on a ball.
On the shaft there is a copper bracket with an engraved inscription and a thread. There is a lanyard tied under the cloth. A commemorative St. Andrew's Order ribbon of blue moire is tied to the pommel tube. On one half of the ribbon, the inscription is embroidered horizontally with gilded threads: “1762 Artillery and Engineering Gentry Cadet Corps.” In front of the inscription is attached a gilded metal monogram of Catherine II. The monogram of Alexander II is attached to the bottom side of it.

The shaft has a gilded metal pommel in the form of a double-headed eagle resting on a ball and a bracket with an inscription. There is a metal inflow below. A commemorative St. Andrew's ribbon is tied to the top. On one half of it, at the top, an inscription in Old Russian script is embroidered horizontally with gilded threads:
"1712 Moscow Engineering School
1719 St. Petersburg Engineering School
1758 United Artillery and Engineering School
1762 Artillery and engineering gentry cadet corps
1800 2nd Cadet Corps."
In front of the inscription are attached gilded metal imperial monograms of Peter I, Elizabeth Petrovna, Catherine II and Paul I. On the inner side at the bottom is attached the monogram of Nicholas II.
On the other half of the ribbon is embroidered the inscription: “1912, 2nd Cadet Corps of Emperor Peter the Great.” On the reverse side, at the bottom, there is an applied coat of arms of Russia.
All applied monograms and the coat of arms of Russia have been lost.
The tape is bent in half in the middle and fastened at the bend with a metal rectangular bracket with a ring. A bow is attached to the bracket using a screw with a head in the form of a button with the image of a double-headed eagle, on which the date of the award of the ribbon is embroidered: “1912”. Several banners of the Naval Cadet Corps are kept in the funds of the Central Naval Museum.

In the center of the banner in an orange circle in a laurel wreath under the imperial crown is a black crowned double-headed eagle of the 1857 model (with raised wings) with four cards. Below along the edge there is a blue ribbon with gold anniversary dates: 1701 - 1901. The top of the 1857 sample is a gold double-headed eagle on a ball and an anniversary order banner ribbon.
In the Naval Cadet Corps, each company had its own flag. The Central Naval Museum houses the St. Andrew's flag of the company of the Naval Cadet Corps, model 1900. It is a white cloth measuring 113x165 cm, which is crossed by the St. Andrew's cross.
In the center of the cross is the coat of arms of the Naval Cadet Corps: on a red field there is a golden broadsword, crowned with a golden imperial crown, under which a golden gradstaff and rudder are placed crosswise. The red color symbolizes courage, bravery and generosity, the broadsword - the idea of fidelity to duty and oath, the rudder and gradstaff - naval attributes.
