ответ:Murmansk oblast (Murmanskaya) is a federal subject of Russia located in northwest of the country, mainly on the Kola Peninsula, part of the North-West Federal District. Murmansk is the capital city of the region.

The population of Murmansk oblast is about 762,000 (2015), the area - 144,902 sq. km.

According to the archaeological sites, people already lived on the Kola Peninsula in the 8th-7th millennium BC. Much later, the boyars of the Novgorod Republic began to send expeditions to the north to gain fish, fur, seal fat, and other “treasures of the north.”

Presumably in the 12th century, the expeditions reached the Kola Peninsula. Locals (the Sami) were taxed tribute. For a while, the Sami had to pay a double tribute because Norway also tried to assert its authority here. However, in 1326, Norway signed a peace treaty, according to which all rights to the land of the Kola Peninsula were given to the Novgorod Republic.

In the 15th century, the first permanent settlements appeared on the Kola Peninsula. In 1478, it became part of the Moscow principality. The region’s economy was based on hunting for marine animals, fishing and salt production. In the middle of the 16th century, the Kola Peninsula was becoming an international center of trade (fish and furs). In 1625, about 2,500 people lived here.
