Journey to Sredny-Rybachy

Historically, the coastal waters of Rybachy Pomory were used for fishing. In the 16th century, there were 16 fishing camps with 109 fishing huts. In 1826, during the drawing of the border between Russia and Norway, the peninsula was assigned to Russia, despite the fact that Norwegian settlers lived here. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were 9 colonies of Norwegians and Finns on the peninsula, in which 500 people lived. After the independence of Finland, the western part of the peninsula was ceded to the Finns, which was transferred to the Soviet Union. During the Second World War, fierce battles between Soviet and German troops took place on the peninsula. In Murmansk, a street is named after the soldiers who defended the strategic peninsula. After the end of the war, these places were militarized, as it was located in the immediate vicinity of the NATO country. Currently, most of the military garrisons are closed, and only recently the territory of Rybachy became open to the public.
