Kola (Russian: Ко́ла; Northern Sami: Guoládat; Skolt Sami: Kuâlõk) is a town and the administrative center of Kolsky District of Murmansk Oblast, Russia, located at the confluence of the Kola and Tuloma Rivers, 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) south of Murmansk and 24 kilometers (15 mi) southwest of Severomorsk.
On June 1, 1936, the renaming of the district was approved by the Resolution of the VTsIK. [16] The provisions of the February 26, 1935 Resolution, however, were not fully implemented.
