Mr. Ambassador, how do you assess the significance of the visit of the Russian ship to the Republic of Greece to participate in events dedicated to the next anniversary of the Battle of Navarino? Why is it important for Greece and Russia?
The arrival of a Russian warship in Pylos is a big holiday for Greeks and Russians. This visit is dedicated to our common victory in the historical Battle of Navarino in 1827, which opened the way to independence for the Greek people. The battle, in which the navies of Russia, France and Great Britain took part, is a historical example of how the goals of the international community are achieved as a result of cooperation. Now we also have a common goal - the fight against international terrorism - and we believe that we must again be together with Greece, which we congratulate on its election to non-permanent members of the UN Security Council, together with Great Britain and France, together with all those who our ideals are dear and who sees international terrorism as our common enemy.
How does the Greek side perceive the arrival of the Russian ship?
For the Greeks this is a holiday, our common holiday. And when our sailors come, having already visited many places in Greece, it is always a reason for joint celebrations, for joint laying of wreaths in memory of those who died for the freedom of Greece. And most importantly, this is a reason to look into the future, where, we can say with confidence, Russia and Greece have a lot in common.
Every year the geography of visits of Russian ships to Greek ports expands. Will calls to new Greek ports be planned in the future?
We are currently discussing this issue with military attache Igor Kostyukov. I think, since many Greek cities and ports have become places of visit for our fleet, this will not be the end of the matter. Russian sailors are highly respected in Greece and are always greeted warmly.
Mr. Attache, the development of relations between the Greek Navy and the Russian Navy is on the rise. What impact does this have on the Greek and Russian sides?
It is gratifying to note that in recent years the interaction between our countries has moved from a theoretical plane to a practical one. Last year, joint exercises were held between Greek and Russian ships. Let these be training events at a simple level, for example, on joint maneuvering. But they marked the beginning of interaction in other areas. Plus, Greece is the only country in the North Atlantic Alliance that has Russian ships in service. This also should not be discounted. Therefore, we have interaction both in the training of Greek specialists and in the exchange of experience in operating the Zubr air-cushion landing ships. There are four ships of this class in the Greek Navy. In addition, there are a number of other events. Serious relationship development is underway. Of course, we would like more, but we will act gradually.
Greece is an active member of NATO. Does Greece have problems with the NATO command due to the fact that Russian warships regularly call at Greek ports and conduct joint military exercises?
No, they don't arise. In addition, if there is a need to quickly obtain consent from the Greek authorities to conduct any joint events, we obtain it thanks to a constructive approach. Even more complex problems are being solved; for example, we very quickly received permission to park Russian warships near Mount Athos. I am not afraid to repeat, the level of relations with the Greek side allows us to hope for good and long-term cooperation between our countries in various fields.

It is symbolic that the ceremony dedicated to the completion of a large order is timed to coincide with Submariner Day.
Representatives of the Pacific Fleet, plant management and ordinary plant workers, top officials of Rosneft (the consortium is implementing a shipbuilding project in Bolshoy Kamen), veterans of the submarine fleet, regional officials and deputies and, of course, the crew of the submarine gathered on the deep-sea pier.

The submarine has been on the list of Navy ships since 1989, and in 1992 it was reclassified as a nuclear-powered cruising submarine.
