About this network

The network of the National Research Centre "Kurchatov Institute" in Moscow, Russia's principal nuclear physics research institute and now a broad national science centre.

What it's used for

• The institute's research and campus network. It announces 144.206.0.0/17 and 144.206.160.0/19 — long-held academic address space serving scientific computing, laboratories and staff.

Notable

• A national research institution, not a commercial provider: the address space is institutional, with no subscriber or hosting character.
• Kurchatov has historically been a hub for Russian scientific networking, and its address space is part of the older Russian academic allocation rather than anything acquired on the transfer market.

Interesting

• The Kurchatov Institute is where RELCOM, the Soviet Union's first computer network and first commercial internet service provider, was launched in August 1990 in collaboration with the DEMOS cooperative — the beginning of what became the Runet.
