The Peter the Great Naval Corps - Saint Petersburg Naval Institute (Russian: Морской корпус Петра Великого — Санкт-Петербургский военно-морской институт), formerly known as the M. V. Frunze Higher Naval School (named after Mikhail Frunze, in Russian: Военно-морское училище имени М. В. Фрунзе), is the oldest of the Russian Navy's naval officer commissioning schools. It is located in Saint Petersburg.

History

The school traces its origins to the School of Mathematics and Navigation Sciences, founded in 1701 by Peter the Great, in Moscow's Sukharev Tower. After the city of Saint Petersburg was built, the school was relocated there. The school was later reorganized as the Naval Cadet Corps. After the Russian Revolution of 1917, it was eventually renamed to M.V. Frunze Higher Naval School. Today, it is called the Peter the Great Naval Corps - Saint Petersburg Naval Institute.

Other Russian Navy officer commissioning schools include F.F. Ushakov Baltic Naval Institute in Kaliningrad; A.A. Popov Naval Radioelectronics Institute in Petrodvorets (Saint Petersburg area); the Naval Engineering Institute in Pushkin (Saint Petersburg area); Pacific Higher Naval School in Vladivostok, and the Nakhimov Naval Academy in Sevastopol.
