Yeah, their engineering was almost always great, but maintenance was always problematic - add to that times when there wasn't money and you have recipe for disaster. That being said, I would like to see comparison between US and Soviet/Russian escape vessels. I know that US's has ability to only deploy couple of people at the time, so you'll get some of the crew faster, but possibly not all of the crew. On the other hand Russian design is to pack everyone and detach - which risks a delay, but also saves pretty much everyone on board. I wonder if ships couldn't have both systems.

It's so sad, that an outstanding career for a Yankee is not having a fire, major collision or nuclear incident. Really makes you think, if that was the state of the Soviet nuclear Navy at the time, stories like my fathers seem much more plausible. One time he told me, they surfaced next to a Russian submarine in the Baltic sea, that was apparently in some kind of trouble. Turns out, the Russian crew was literally starving as their food had gone bad. The German crew "had to" trade their Breadbaking mixture with instructions translated to russian for alot of Vodka, as the Russians didn't want to accept the Breadmixture as a gift. I think the Westgerman Kaleu wrote a logbook entry about that, but you can be sure there wasn't anything about that in the Russian books.
