 The construction took two months, and it was undertaken by the “Murmanskzhilstroy” trust.During the Russian Civil War the city of Murmansk was in "White Russian" territory, as such any "Red Russians" who were found were jailed in Yokang prison, a number of which died.Following the withdrawal of Allied troops after the failed Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War, the "White" forces mostly collapsed, allowing the "Red" forces to reintergrate the city into the USSR.
