History

On 28 September 1918, Provisional Government of the Northern Region is established. In October 1918, the Northern Region recognized the supreme authority of the Ufa Directory, along with abolishing all the soviets and restored zemstvos.[2][3] On 30 April 1919, the Northern Region recognized the supreme authority of the Provisional All-Russian Government. On 19 October 1919, the Northern Region turned into department for civil affairs under chief administrator of Northern Region but use of former name (Provisional Government of the Northern Region) continued. On 19 February 1920, the Northern Region government evacuated Arkhangelsk to Norway. On 21 February 1920, Arkhangelsk and Murmansk is reintegrated into the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic. On 13 March 1920, regular Soviet troops reached Murmansk.[3]
