History

The name Talagi originates in two khutors and small village located in Solombalsky Volost, Arkhangelsk Uyezd, Arkhangelsk Governorate.[3]

Talagi Airport was originally built in the summer of 1942 under the supervision of the State Defense Committee representative Ivan Papanin as a military base with a gravel runway.

The Soviet Air Defence Forces (PVO) had a presence at this airfield with 518th Fighter Aviation Regiment (518-й Берлинский ордена Суворова III степени истребительный авиационный полк (Military Unit Number 42192), 518 IAP) flying Tupolev Tu-128 from 1966 onward. It received MiG-31 aircraft during the 1980s.[4][5] The controlling formation was the 23rd Air Defence Corps, then redesignated the 22nd Air Defence Corps in 1993, then 22nd AD Division from 1994, all under 10th Air Defence Army until 1994, and then 6th Air Defence Army. The regiment was disbanded in 1998.[6]

gollark: It does help, though.
gollark: You're indenting it already, right?
gollark: As a personal preference thing I don't use semicolons where possible but do like brackets.
gollark: I prefer them to just indentation mostly, indentation-based syntax can be flaky.
gollark: Because YAML tries to look "simple", it's actually wildly complex, problem-prone, and has weird quirks. Like Go, sort of.
