Also, apparently, at Sevmash built two nuclear submarines for special purposes or with a clean slate, or in cooperation with Petersburg's Admiralty Shipyard. One of them is a deep nuclear station, a related titanium bathyscaphe "Losharik" applied research of the seabed.

Sevmash is the Premier League remains "Vladimir Monomakh" project "Northwind", three weeks ago is already out in the White Sea in the first sea trials.
For the period up to 2020 approved plans for eight more submarines: four "Ash" and four "Boreas».

Norway paid for the disposal of the four old submarines
The United States funded recycling obsolete fleet of strategic nuclear submarine of project 667 (NATO classes «Yankee» and «Delta»), and Norway, the UK, South Korea, Canada and several other countries - shock and multi-purpose submarines. On the Norwegian funds butchered four submarines in ship repair Center "Zvezdochka" (Severodvinsk) and the shipyard "Nerpa" (near Murmansk).

Information on the costs for the construction of a nuclear submarine in Russia varies considerably, depending on what type of in question, as well as what sources are used. According to Wikipedia, the price of nuclear submarines of the "Ash" ("Severodvinsk", "Kazan") is between 1 billion. 3, 5 billion. Dollars. "Borei" larger and more expensive armed intercontinental missiles with nuclear warheads, should be much more expensive.
In Russia, one way or another, have spent more money on building new deadly submarine, 20 bln. Dollars. From foreign donors, intended for cutting older submarines and processing of nuclear waste.
