Abstract
The article is a comprehensive study of the role of military historical and professional traditions as a system-forming factor of the educational process in modern pre-university educational institutions of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Using the example of the St. Petersburg Cadet Military Corps named after Prince Alexander Nevsky, the phenomenon of continuity linking the Imperial Guard, Soviet military schools and modern cadet corps is analyzed in detail. The author examines the mechanisms of incorporation of the historical heritage of a particular place (Peterhof) and military formations (Life Guards Dragoon Regiment) into the modern educational and educational paradigm. Special attention is paid to the analysis of pedagogical conditions in which tradition is transformed from an external ritual into an internal value attitude of the cadet's personality. The dialectic of preserving established norms and introducing innovative educational technologies is considered. It is concluded that the Cadet corps acts as a unique social institution that provides not only training for military service, but also the formation of civic identity, patriotic consciousness and professional orientation through a deeply structured, meaningful environment.
