I have confirmed this with the company that makes the dispensers using the same name.

Strange...... (unless it's the ex-Luch-4? However I don't think it is even close to being completed....) BTW here's the original source: http://www.militarynews.ru/fcl_l/news.asp?id=333261

In the meantime, the list of Russian federal missions requiring Proton for launches in 2014, also grew exponentially and, apparently, included a mysterious military satellite dubbed Olymp (Olympus), which was not previously identified in any public source. Given the fact that in 2014 Russia was to host winter Olympics in Sochi, one could speculate that the name was assigned recently to a new-generation military satellite. The Soviet space history knows a few examples when the vehicle developed under a numeric code would receive a proper name shortly before reaching a launch pad. During the post-Soviet period, the Russian Ministry of Defense routinely declassified names for past and even current military satellites, while keeping most other details about their missions under wraps.Multiple sources did confirm that one classified payload was "booked" for Proton in 2014 in addition to the Garpun data-relay satellite, but did not provide any additional details on the nature of that second mission: Launch period Payload Customer 1 Late February Ekspress-AT1 and Ekspress-AT2 Russian Satellite Communications Company, RSCC 2 Late March Ekspress-AM4R Russian Satellite Communications Company, RSCC 3 April to June Garpun Russian Ministry of Defense 4 April to June Olymp Russian Ministry of Defense 5 April to June Yamal-401 Gazprom space systems 6 June to August KazSat-3 and Luch-5V Kazakhstan and Russian space agency, Roskosmos 7 August to October Ekspress-AM7 Russian Satellite Communications Company, RSCC

Odd that I can find several references to the Olymp-K going back to 2010.http://isulibrary.isunet.edu/opac/doc_num.php?explnum_id=42
