Business speech culture formation among cadets of military higher education institutions is one of the relevant problems in the system of higher military education. In accordance with FSES of higher professional education, the graduates of military higher education institutions of the Russian Army should know the principles of business speech culture, contributing to the formation of business communication culture and general culture of servicemen, that would ensure their successful military-professional activity as officers in future. The purpose of this article is to do a review of establishment and development of business speech culture formation problem in domestic psychological and pedagogical literature, to compare the modern educational process in higher military school with the foundations laid in pedagogics at the end of XIX – first half XX centuries, and to analyze scientific researches concerning this problem over the past decades, to define the essence, content and structure of business speech culture formation process among the cadets of military universities, as well as to identify ways and conditions for the effective implementation of this pedagogical process. On the basis of theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific literature, it was noted that business speech culture formation process from the point of view of its essence, content and structure was considered in the works of modern Russian scientists in different aspects: speech culture formation, speech skills, public speech skills, communicative competence, mastering speech activity of both secondary and higher educational institutions trainees. The results of psychological and pedagogical research analysis in higher military school showed that the cultural speech aspect has always been the focus of attention of scientists and it was considered in the study of various problems: from historical and pedagogical analysis of military education in Russia of XVIII-early XX century and its humanization to training officers for achieving psychological and information superiority over the enemy. The analysis of various approaches of researchers to this problem made it possible to justify the author's view on the essence, content and structure of the pedagogical process of business speech culture formation among cadets of military schools and to determine the ways and conditions of its effective implementation. The most promising way seems to be the implementation of this pedagogical process on the basis of a communicative-activity approach to learning, which ensures its adequacy to the requirements of complex military-professional business communication. The results and conclusions of this study expand the understanding of such concepts as "speech activity", "business speech", " business speech and business communication culture of military personnel" and are aimed at improving the educational process in military universities of the Russian Federation in the context of the communicative-activity approach to learning. The article may be interesting for scientists conducting research both in the field of business communication and in the field of military-professional education in general.
