Nemetsky Peninsula (Russian: Немецкий полуостров) is a peninsula in the far north region of continental European Russia. Its name is translated as "German peninsula". The peninsula is connected to the continent by a thin isthmus; thus, the peninsula is nearly completely surrounded by water. Administratively, it is included into the Pechenga raion of Murmansk Oblast and is within several hours of ride from Murmansk.
History
[edit]After the Russian Revolution, the Nemetsky Peninsula (Finnish: Nurmensaari) was ceded to Finland. The peninsula was passed to the Soviet Union after the Second World War in 1945.[1]
