Oleg Shulyakovsky, ex director general of Baltiysky Zavod OJSC

– Appointment of Vyacheslav Ruksha as director general of Atomflot is a big luck for our nuclear fleet

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

I have known Vyacheslav Ruksha since the 1970s and I think that he is a real professional. So, his appointment as the director general of Atomflot is a big luck for our nuclear fleet.

He is an outstanding personality and an efficient serious manager. He perfectly knows the peculiarities of this sphere. Under his management the transfer of our nuclear icebreakers from Murmansk Sea Shipping Company to Atomflot will be carried out most effectively. I think that Atomflot is in good hands.

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).
