Favorite vacation spot for residents of Murmansk is Semenovskoye Lake, located north of the central part of the city. And once here, on the banks of the Kola River, there was only one hut of a Pomodor fisherman named Semyon Korzhov or Korzhnov, or Korzhnev (more precisely, the surname was not established), as the legend says. He was the owner of the land here - Kildin Pogost. Later, a small village appeared, but the islands, the lake and the brook flowing from it, have since been called Semenovskys.
A bit of history
Gradually rich in natural gifts, the polar places began to attract Russian seekers and merchants. For the first time in the annals, the mention of the Kola Peninsula is found in the X-XI centuries. The camp of the Lapps (Sami) was growing. Fisheries, and fur trade flourished, only the Normans (Norwegians) or Murmansk, Danes and Swedes constantly claimed this territory. The patronage of Russian immigrants helped to repel raids, but the Arctic became completely Russian only by the middle of the XIX century. How did this happen?
From the village in the second half of the 19th century the city of Romanov-on-Murman was formed, and already in 1917 it was renamed Murmansk.
It is hard to imagine that on the site of the largest city of the Russian Arctic - Murmansk, after regular bombing of fascist aircraft in 1945, only 3 houses remained.
