It would be great if there were a footer navBox listing all/most Russian/USSR subs. Does such a navbox exist?
There's a navbox that has all the sub classes of the Soviets and the Russians, but it's only used on sub class articles, not on individual sub articles.
I believe that the Russian navy/subs are in a bit of disarray now (at least that is what I've read). Perhaps this article could include a sentence or two giving an overview of the state of the Russian sub service in the 1994 -> today era. How is it relative to the USSR sub service of the 1960s -> 1980s? Have things declined in quality? morale? Just a bit of an overview, to give the reader context.
Past/present tense: "the main drawback is the .." Most of article is in past tense, but shifts to present in that sentence. Probably best to stay in past tense the entire article, even tho the sub still exists.
Location today? - Any idea where the sub is located today? In some port somewhere? A source says it is "in operational service in Baltic fleet" .. is that correct?
By a process of elimination (Kalinigrad enclave or Leningrad) and the Kommersant-Vlast material of 2005, it appears likely that the operating unit may be the 25th Submarine Brigade at
Kronshtadt,
Leningrad Oblast, see
http://www.ww2.dk/new/navy/BF.htm. In any event, it seems there are no submarines in Kaliningrad, so it must be in the
Leningrad Naval Base or Kronshtadt area.

Infobox pic caption: It would be neat to mention the location of the photo. Is that the city of St. Petersburg in the background?
"By 2006, two more of Saint Peterburg's sister boats, Kronshtadt and Sevastopol have had their keels laid down." - The "have had" doesnt read well ... it imlies that we are (now) in the year 2006. Could be "had had", but that is not much better. Maybe "Two sister boats ... had their keels laid down by 2006".
