A bloody battle began in the summer of 1941 for the region as German forces launched an offensive towards Murmansk, Russia.

Russian forces halted the German assault and the frontline stabilized until the autumn of 1944.

Festive and solemn events of servicemen of the Northern Fleet and residents of the Murmansk region are held near the memorial.
