Zaozyorsk (Russian: Заозёрск), formerly known as Zaozyorny (Заозёрный), Severomorsk-7 (Североморск-7), and Murmansk-150 (Му́рманск-150), is a closed town in Murmansk Oblast, Russia. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 11,199.
Building of what was to become Zaozyorsk began in 1958 as a base for a nuclear underwater fleet that would be deployed in 1961. Originally known as Zaozyorny (Заозёрный), it was referred to as Severomorsk-7 (Североморск-7) for postal purposes. On September 14, 1981, it was granted town status and renamed Zaozyorsk, although for postal purposes the name Murmansk-150 (Му́рманск-150) was used. On January 4, 1994, the use of this code name was discontinued.
