Roslyakovo (Russian: Росляко́во) was an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) under the administrative jurisdiction of the closed-administrative territorial formation of Severomorsk in Murmansk Oblast, Russia, located on the Kola Peninsula on the Kola Bay, 6 kilometers (3.7 mi) west of Severomorsk proper. It was abolished, with its territory merged into the city of Murmansk, on January 1, 2015.[3] Population: 8,696 (2010 Census);[4] 9,458 (2002 Census);[7] 11,981 (1989 Census).[8]

History

It was founded in 1896.[2] The colony of Roslyakovo was one of the twenty-one included into Alexandrovskaya Volost of Alexandrovsky Uyezd, Arkhangelsk Governorate upon its establishment on July 1, 1920.[9] Urban-type settlement status was granted to Roslyakovo in 1959.[2]

Roslyakovo was in jurisdiction of the closed administrative-territorial formation of Severomorsk until January 1, 2015,[1] when it was abolished, with its territory merged into the city of Murmansk.[3]

There is no restaurant or cafe in town. Formerly, there was a medical clinic. There are "a few 7-Eleven-sized grocery stores."[10] The Church of St. Michael the Archangel, founded in 1991, is the only church in the town.[11]

Most of the population are in the Russian Navy, or work as navy contractors. Shipbuilding is a local industry. After merging and enlarging two graving docks for the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, Roslyakovo has the largest drydock in European Russia.[12] Rosneft, the state owned oil company, is opening facilities in the town.[10]
