From the articles I've found, it might be a permanent move.
@spectrecrouton.bsky.social noticed tug movement and position location of ships a while back. Plus footage of returning or deployment of Kilos shows most Steregishchiys in the background.

Although for the auxiliaries it was a temporary shift in location, for the corvettes, it might have been a permanent move as back in March-April, the admin at Vladivostok and the RU Ministry of Transport imposed a restriction on small vessels leaving in and out of Ulysses Bay.
[1/4] At least five large RF Navy Pacific Fleet auxiliary vessels have transferred from Bukhta Uliss to Bukhta Zolotoy Rog this week: Baklazhan-class tug "Fotiy Krylov", Dubna-class oiler "Pechenga", Emba-class cable ship "Kem", Neftegaz-class tug "Kalar", and an unidentified Altay-class oiler.

While there is an age old Russian adage called "Trust but Verify".
Since people and accounts with enough following and significant social media influence can basically shape what the few sees as regular into something "newsbreaking". Case in point is about this sub in particular.

That Borei would be conducting its first repair and upgrade cycle. Being part of the first three that was born out of recycled Akula-class SSN parts.
Yuri Dolgorukiy has already started its repair and upgrade cycle a year or two prior.

They could have waited for Tor-MF, but delays in demonstrating its functions when baked into a ship and not attached like an appendage like Tor-M2KM, might have pushed them for Shtil-1 instead.

In my opinion, this delay probably sealed any hope of Tor, Kinzhal or related systems being retained in the upgrades for Udaloys.
When Marshal Shaposhnikov was being reworked, it only got a new radar from Ratep contracted by MNIIRE Altair.
Vinogradov went the other route and went for Shtil-1.

With Ulysses Bay now clear of civilian leisure traffic and the area now reverted back to MOD control, we would see more activities in the area regarding movement of VMF assets.
Also, Ulysses Bay is where the dedicated pier for the Mistrals would have been located. Now its sitting unfinished.

Plus, with the Russian Prosecutor General Office annulling the previous agreements for privatization of the area and returning the control of the bay to the state.
This might be one of their projects in consolidating a basing for PACFLT assets in Vladivostok.

To be fair, that is how museum projects go in Russia.
K-3 was languishing for so long before works were done and it had a few years of radioactive detox by just sitting there with a reactor plug.

That's going to put a lot of strain on Zvezdochka knowing how full they are at the moment with Akulas, one Borei, one or two Delta IVs, a bunch of boats from GUGI.
