Thecolony of Sayda-Guba was one of the twenty-one included intoAlexandrovskaya Volost ofAlexandrovsky Uyezd ofArkhangelsk Governorate upon its establishment on July 1, 1920.[6]
In 1934, the Murmansk Okrug Executive Committee developed a redistricting proposal, which was approved by the Resolution of the 4th plenary session of the Murmansk Okrug Committee of theVKP(b) on December 28-29, 1934 and by the Resolution of the Presidium of the Murmansk Okrug Executive Committee on February 2, 1935.[7] On February 15, 1935, the VTsIK approved the redistricting of the okrug into seven districts, but did not specify what territories the new districts were to include.[7] On February 26, 1935, the Presidium of the Leningrad Oblast Executive Committee worked out the details of the new district scheme and issued a resolution, which, among other things, ordered the administrative center ofPolyarny District to be moved fromPolyarnoye to Sayda-Guba.[7] The provisions of the February 26, 1935 Resolution, however, were not fully implemented.[7] Due to military construction in Polyarnoye, the administrative center was instead moved toMurmansk in the beginning of 1935.[7]
