Summary
Kurchatov Institute
government research legacy
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
144.206.0.0/17and144.206.160.0/19— 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.
