....... and still haven't. I think you'll find that this is just a reiteration of spending that was already announced a long time ago and certainly before they started to slip into the current economic quagmire. 

As of April this year the russian navy's pride and joy the "Yury Dolgorukiy" had no new funding allocated to it. 

Interesting that you mentioned the TOPOL as a recent directive was sent round stating that under no circumstances were "enlisted men" to accompany this missile as they could not be trusted to operate it. It is only accompanied by officers thus limiting its use.  

And the final nail in the quality coffin...................
