It was established in 1867 and named after his founder, Emperor Alexander II of Russia in 1908. The Academy was situated in St. Petersburg by 96 Moika Embankment, along with many other institutions of military education.
Since 1878 it was reformed into a 3-year higher educational institution, with admittance to any of the three classes, depending on prior education of the admitted.
Since 1880 officers from Serbian and Bulgarian Armies were admitted.
About 1,000 officers graduated from the academy, as well as a small number or civil officials (which were admitted until 1882).
