"A submarine of this class will guarantee the combat reliability of Yury Dolgoruky-class strategic nuclear-powered missile submarines and fulfill other tasks performed by multipurpose nuclear submarines," Shlemov said.

The translator really bungled this quote. What he acutally said was, "A submarine of this class will guarantee the certain death of many more Russian sailors, many of them named Yuri and fill the oceans with rusting hulks as many of our other multi-purpose submarines have."
