That is a DNIC + NUA. To my surprise, I can set up a XXX connection to
it from here (Netherlands) with the following result:
$ pad 02502040300

               You are connected  to the Communication Node of
                Institute for Automated Systems, Moscow, USSR

Info-netters: Don't start trying all off you now ! It is a very slow line
and setting up a connection will probably cost you or your empoyers a lot of
money.
