It reminds me of Onassis Yacht in a way. And I hear somebody bought that ship during the asset boom post 2002 and then lost huge sums during the bank crash of 2007 onwards.

Other sisters have also been converted, #4 Yuriy Trifonov was converted in 1997 at Gdańska Stocznia Remontowa to a diving mother ship and renamed Seaway Kingfisher. In 2004 renamed Kingfisher with further modification at Eidsvik and she is now described as a seismic research ship.
# 3 Mariya Tsvyetayeva was converted to an expedition cruise ship and in 2011 sold to Ortelius Scheepsreizen of Belgium and renamed Ortelius.
The other three, #1 Anna Akhmatova, #2 Boris Pasternak and #6 Igor Farkhutdinov ex Neva - 96, Admiral Lazarev - 03 are still operating as passenger vessels for Russian owners.
I wait with interest to see if Kay is ever completed.
