A Technikum in Donestk

A tekhnikum (Russian: техникум) is a type of vocational school in the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union,[1] as well as in modern Russia, Ukraine and some other post-Soviet states.

The term was borrowed from 19th-century German education, where these kinds of school were called Technicum.[2] In modern Russia many tekhnikums were renamed into "technical college", "technological college", "technical liceum", etc.
