The article is based mostly on unpublished documents of archives. The aim of this article is to present the issues of special colonization of Northern region. Special colonization was carried out according to the request upon cheap work force - different categories of special contingent (special immigrants, deported peasants, prisoners, persons, exiled from the bigger cities due to the administrative reasons). Most part of the displaced persons, nations and social groups was transported through Arkhangelsk - the oldest port and important transport hub on the European North. Since 1929 Arkhangelsk was recognized as a centre of Northern region, which was in higher priority within industrialization due to large amounts of wood export operations. Most part of gold and currency acquired from the wood export was allocated to the industrialization. The deportation process, the everyday life and involvement of special colonists into the industry of Soviet European North during existence of Northern Region (1929-1936) are also presented in the article.
