AS3253 SOVINTEL-EF-AS Uralrelcom Net
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
PJSC VimpelCom
isp legacy
SOVINTEL-EF-AS belongs to PJSC VimpelCom, the Russian operator that trades as Beeline. The handle preserves Sovintel, an early Russian telecom joint venture that VimpelCom absorbed; the network description also carries the name of a Urals regional operator, and its contacts point at Beeline's Yekaterinburg operations.
What it's used for
- Fixed-line internet access in the Urals region as part of Beeline's wireline business, serving households and small-to-medium businesses.
- The space sits inside a much larger national operator, so this ASN is one regional piece of a nationwide network rather than a standalone ISP.
Notable
- This is mostly an eyeball address: an IP here is typically a Russian subscriber line, with some business connectivity mixed in.
- Legacy handles like this are a useful reminder that Russian telecom consolidated heavily. The registry name records a company that has not independently existed for a long time.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
