claim seedling Tier 4 2026-09-18

The Dzerzhinsky Artillery Academy is the direct institutional ancestor of the Peter the Great Military Academy of the Strategic Missile Forces

The institution Fel'dbaum published his 1948 textbook through — the Dzerzhinsky Artillery Academy (claim-feldbaum-books-published-through-dzerzhinsky-military-academies) — sits at the start of an unbroken institutional line to a present-day Russian military school. Per the academy's own Wikipedia article: a Department of Rocket Weapons was created within it in August 1944, "later transformed into the Faculty of Rocket Weapons of the artillery academy, which laid the foundation for the domestic education of rocket engineers." The academy joined the Strategic Missile Forces in 1960, was renamed twice more over the following decades, and became the "Peter the Great Military Academy of the Strategic Missile Forces" by a 1997 presidential decree — the institution that trains Russia's missile-forces officers today.

This is a historical/institutional claim resting on a single Tier 4 (Wikipedia) source; per the vault's sourcing floor, Tier 3–4 is acceptable for historical claims of this kind when uncontested, and nothing in this capture's research contradicted the renaming sequence. It is recorded here as institutional background, not as a claim about Fel'dbaum's own role — see claim-feldbaum-missile-control-systems-professorship-1945-1964-unverified for the separate, unverified claim about what Fel'dbaum himself did at this academy.

“In August 1944, the Department of Rocket Weapons was created with a training laboratory for the training of missilemen. It was later transformed into the Faculty of Rocket Weapons of the artillery academy, which laid the foundation for the domestic education of rocket engineers.”
