• Garrison school (Гарнизонные школы) organized by Peter I for children of peasant army recruits. Little known fact (at least to me, found in Britannica) that Peter formally liberated them from serfdom as well as their children, hence these schools, hence the article. Please read and correct. -Irpen 06:17, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

The article is now featured in WP:DYK on the main page. Please take another look, whether it needs any corrections. Thanks! -Irpen 20:17, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
