Ruvim Freiman, deputy chief designer of nuclear icebreakers of Iceberg CDB

– Vyacheslav Ruksha is a big professional

On June 6 Director General of Rosatom State Nuclear Energy Corporation Sergey Kiriyenko appointed Vyacheslav Ruksha as Acting Director of Atomflot FSUE.

I personally know Vyacheslav Ruksha and I can say that Atomflot is lucky to have such a manager. Ruksha is an active, efficient, responsible and competent man. His appointment will certainly benefit our nuclear fleet.

Ruksha is a big professional in the field of operation of nuclear icebreakers. He first navigated icebreakers, then, supervised their operation and maintenance. In 1999 he was appointed as the director general of Murmansk Sea Shipping Company and did his job excellently: due to his effort our nuclear fleet survived the hard 1990s. I think that under Ruksha our nuclear fleet will prosper.
 
Note

The President of the Russian Federation has decreed to include Atomflot FSUE in the list of companies whose property will be owned by Rosatom State Nuclear Energy Corporation on behalf of the Russian Federation.

In late Aug 2008 Atomflot FSUE will be given control over all the nuclear icebreakers of Russia: Lenin (1959), Arktika (1975), Siberia (1978), Russia (1985), Taymyr (1988), Soviet Union (1988), Vaygach (1990), Yamal (1992) and 50 Years Since Victory (2007).
