Russian Callsign RMKD Pls help

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

According to Alfredo De Cristofaro's latest research the radio room below belonged to a cargo ship or a research vessel on duty for Russian Navy, I have investigated the callsign RMKD and it is a Navy callsign and this type of call could be assigned to Navy ships or civilian vessels affiliated or on duty for the Navy, I suppose this ship now is dead but I never found the ship's name. So I re-post the photo to have any possible help to find which was the ship.

Nice radio room - this does not look like Navy at all. :)

You probably have received the answer already here:

But others might be interested to know, as well:

Call sign RMKD = NIS Akademik Kurchatov (USSR)
Year of construction: 1971 (?)
Owner: USSR Academy of Sciences / Institute of Oceanology
Port of registry: Leningrad Type
