The relevance of the study is due to the activation of Russia in the eastern direction and the need to solve urgent geostrategic problems in Asia. Throughout the XIX century two military educational institutions: Orenburg Neplyuevsky and Siberian Omsk played the most important geopolitical role in the border region in terms of training military and civilian (Russian and Asian) personnel, general specialists in interaction with Asian people. Their activities largely contributed to the integration of Asian people into a single territorial and ideological space of the Russian Empire. The accumulated historical experience certainly deserves research and updating these days. The purpose of the research is to reconstruct the experience of functioning of the Omsk military educational institution within a period limited by chronological framework. The research methodology is a combination of institutional and anthropological approaches, comparative historical, biographical, problematic and statistical methods, which made it possible to reach certain generalizations and conclusions. It is stated that the staff is weak, in principle, characteristic of the provincial military educational institution of the period under review. It is indicated that the management apparatus, as far as possible, managed to quickly solve them. Based on the analysis of the office documentation of the institution, it becomes clear that the educational process of the Omsk school as a whole corresponded to the Charter of military educational institutions of the 2nd class of 1830s with a certain regional specificity. All this is contributed to the acquisition of the status of a cadet corps in the mid-1840s Omsk military educational institution.
