Zaozyorsk (Russian: Заозёрск), formerly known as Zaozyorny (Заозёрный), Severomorsk-7 (Североморск-7), and Murmansk-150 (Му́рманск-150), is a closed town in Murmansk Oblast, Russia. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 11,199;[4] down from 12,687 recorded in the 2002 Census.[8]

History

Building of what was to become Zaozyorsk began in 1958 as a base for a nuclear underwater fleet that would be deployed in 1961.[6] Originally known as Zaozyorny (Заозёрный), it was referred to as Severomorsk-7 (Североморск-7) for postal purposes.[6] On September 14, 1981, it was granted town status and renamed Zaozyorsk, although for postal purposes the name Murmansk-150 (Му́рманск-150) was used.[6] On January 4, 1994, the use of this code name was discontinued.[6]
