Taking them away would need to open the ship and build it again.
Costly and useless.
Just scrap it. Their time is long gone.

Any submarine expert here would like to comment how much accurate is his information regarding the sound generated by screw blades and pump jets?
This guy knows nothing exacting about the acoustic performance of either Yasen screws or Borei pump-jets, even if he is an ex-Navy sonar man. Its just general theory without real numbers. You could just as easily apply it to detection of Ohio SSBNs and Seawolf/Virginias. I write it off as typical Yankee bloviating.

The Russian Ministry of Defense will strengthen the Northern Fleet with the latest strategic submarine of Project 955 Borey. The department is reviewing plans for the distribution of ships that will enter service in the near future, sources in the defense department told Izvestia.
Previously, it was assumed that most of the Borei and Borei-A missile carriers would serve in the Pacific Fleet (Pacific Fleet), but in 2020 another of the newly built Pacific submarines will remain in the Northern Fleet.
According to Izvestia's interlocutors, the decision to rotate Boreyev was made after the Umka exercise held in March. One of the three submarines that participated in the maneuvers was the K-549 "Prince Vladimir". This is the first submarine built according to the updated Borey-A project. She is currently serving in the Northern Fleet.
“Most likely, the replacement will be for one of the two that are in a high stage of readiness: either Prince Oleg or Generalissimo Suvorov. One is to be commissioned this year, the other next year. One of these missile carriers will be delivered to the Northern Fleet instead of the Pacific Fleet, ”military historian Dmitry Boltenkov told Izvestia.
According to him, the Ministry of Defense decided that for the state at the moment it is more important to strengthen not in the Far East, but in the North.

Because the Pacific fleet already has two Borei? Because the K-84 (Project 667BDRM) is going to be decommissioned? Who knows.

Okhotsk Sea bastion in Pacific is safer and much better protected than White Sea bastion in the North (one single easily defendable choke point as entrance)
