Russia's Nuclear Icebreaker Lenin Highlights Arctic Role and India-Russia NSR Cooperation
The Lenin, the world's first nuclear-powered icebreaker, served for 30 years along Russia's Northern Sea Route (NSR) and is now preserved as a museum in Murmansk. Russia operates the largest icebreaker fleet globally, including eight nuclear-powered vessels, maintaining year-round navigation along the NSR, a strategic corridor linking Europe and Asia. India and Russia are enhancing cooperation on the NSR, establishing a working group in 2024 to strengthen transport and logistics connectivity through this Arctic route.
