When entering the 61st Guards Marines Brigade, hanging on the Headquarters building there is the inscription:

“Untamed offensive outburst, daring maneuver and rapidity, selfless courage and highest valor, strong fighting friendship, contempt for death, fierce hatred of the enemy – this is the glory of the Marine Corps!”

During World War II, two separate brigades, several regiments and battalions of the Marines (total amount – more than 10 thousand men) were formed of the sailors of the Northern Fleet. In the fighting on the land front they showed exemplary valor, courage and heroism.

The fortress-port of Kirkenes was taken on October 25, 1944, after a fierce assault. And the Regiment was awarded the Order of the Red Banner and the honorary title “Kirkenesky” for heroism and courage performed during the operation.

Since August 1956 the Regiment was located in the village of Sputnik in the Murmansk Region.
