Biography

 The Joint-Stock Company “Central Design Bureau for Marine Engineering “Rubin” is the largest in Russia among marine engineering companies offering design services. Since its start in 1901, the Company activities have inseparably been linked with national defence, with over 80 % of submarines in the Soviet and later Russian Navy built to the designs of CDB ME “Rubin”, including several generations of strategic missile cruiser submarines. Non-nuclear submarines designed by Rubin have become a significant component in the Russian naval export and enabled Russia to secure its position in this sector of international arms trade.
