The data also showed that the Volga successfully received a command to deactivate all systems aboard the stage, Russian industry sources said."Could it be two satellites and Volga in the elliptical orbit? - Ed Kyle

In my ineducated opinion, ХП-М, ЦСВВ, ЗУ modules are some low-level electronic components within ЗУ block which probably means запоминающее устройство (memory unit) and as such exists in different configurations within many spacecraft and ground support equipment items. So it doesn't make sense to think that Nivelir-ZU may be a spacecraft name or a project name. Judging from the quotes above, it can me a name for a very small work of the larger Nivelir project. And NPP OPTEKS (Being a subsidiary of RKTs Progress) orders this ЗУ block to use in a larger assembly (maybe onboard computer or control system) to be delivered to a producer of a spacecraft.
Also what version of MKA-FKI was to be used for remote sensing in this attachment?http://www.unoosa.org/pdf/pres/stsc2012/2012ind-06E.pdf - note the picture of Persona in that attachment?
There is also a link between Lavochkin and the 14Ф150.http://www.zakupki.gov.ru/223/purchase/public/purchase/info/common-info.html?noticeId=273020

But there is another question: how do we know that K2519 is 14Ф150?
Mr. Pillet identified it.
Closer to Kosmos 2519 (2017-037A) with APRIZESAT 5 (2011-044E), 27.06.2017, 09:37:02 UTC, 593 m.

Isn't it fun to have something that's unexplained and secret again? Just like the "good old days" before perestroyka and glasnost.

Maybe in forty years, there will be a full-scale mock-up of Cosmos-2519 in the Moscow Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics, and it will be very funny to compare the informations with this thread...
