Wikipedia

The Arktika class is a Russian (former Soviet) class of nuclear powered icebreakers. They are owned by the federal government, but are operated by the Murmansk Shipping Company (MSCO). Of the ten civilian nuclear powered vessels built by Russia (and the Soviet Union), six have been of this type. They are used for clearing shipping lanes north of Siberia as well as for scientific and vacation expeditions to the Arctic.
