Accordin tae thir resolutions, Murmansk Govrenorate wis transformit intae Murmansk Okrug, which wis dividit intae sax districts (Kolsko-Loparsky bein ane o thaim) an includit intae Leningrad Oblast. The admeenistrative centre o the destrict wis in the *[[veelage#Roushie|selo]]* o Kola.

In 1934, the Murmansk Okrug Executive Committee developit a redestrictin proposal, which wis appruivit bi the Resolution o the 4t Plenar Session o the Murmansk Okrug Committee o the VKP(b) on 28-29 Dizember 1934 an bi the Resolution o the Presidium o the Murmansk Okrug Executive Committee on 2 Februar 1935. Accordin tae this proposal, Kolsko-Loparsky Destrict wis tae be abolished, wi Kirovsky an Kolsky Destricts tae be established in its place. On 15 Februar 1935, the VTsIK appruivit the redestrictin o the okrug intae seiven destricts, but did no specifee wha territories the new destricts wur tae include. On 26 Februar 1935, the Presidium o the Leningrad Oblast Executive Committee wirkit oot the details o the new destrict scheme an issued a resolution which established Kirovsky Destrict on pairt o the territory o Kolsko-Loparsky Destrict, includin the toun o Kirovsk wi the wirk dounset o Kukisvumchorr in its jurisdiction, Yena-Babinsky Selsoviet, an the soothren pairt o Ekostrovsky Selsoviet wi the station o Khibiny. Minkinsky Selsoviet o Kolsko-Loparsky Destrict wis transferred tae Polyarny Destrict, an Kildinsky Selsoviet—tae Lovozersky Destrict. Kolsky, Notozersky, Peyvo-Yarvinsky, an Pulozersky Selsoviets, as well as the northren pairt o Ekostrovsky Selsoviet remained in Kolsko-Loparsky Destrict, which wis renamed Kolsky. The admeenistrative centre o Kolsky Destrict wis slatit tae be muivit tae the station o Laplandiya, but temporarily remained in Kola. On 1 Juin 1936, the renamin o the destrict wis appruivit bi the Resolution o the VTsIK.

The proveesions o the 26 Februar 1935 Resolution, housomeivver, wur no fully implementit. The station o Laplandiya ultimately niver became the admeenistrative centre o the destrict, acause Kola wis no includit intae Murmansk as oreeginally intendit.

On 21 Apryle 1935, the territory o Ekostrovsky Selsoviet which remained in Kolsky Destrict wis re-organisit as Imandrovsky Selsoviet bi the Resolution o the Presidium o Murmansk Okrug Executive Committee. Bi the Act o the conciliatory committee on 20 October 1935, the selsoviet wis transferred tae Kirovsky Destrict—a decision appruivit bi the Presidium o Murmansk Okrug Executive Committee on 4 Dizember 1935 an bi the Presidium o Leningrad Oblast Executive Committee on 5 Apryle 1936.

On 26 Dizember 1962, when the Presidium o the Supreme Soviet o the RSFSR decreed tae re-organise the Soviets o Fowkdeputies an the executive committees o the krais, oblasts, an destricts intae the industrial an agricultural soviets, Murmansk Oblast wis no affectit an kept ane unifee'd Oblast Soviet an the executive committee.
