From Wikipedia:
Chemical Automatics Design Bureau (CADB) is a Russian Design Bureau founded by the NKAP (People’s Commissariat of the Aircraft Industry) in 1941 and led by Semyon Kosberg until his death in 1965. Its origin dates back to a 1940 Moscow carburetor factory, evacuated to Berdsk in 1941, and then relocated to Voronezh in 1945, where it now operates. ... the company designed a wide range of high technology products, including liquid propellant rocket engines, a nuclear reactor for space use, the first Soviet gas laser with an output of 1 MW and the USSR's only operational nuclear rocket engine. The company has designed more than 60 liquid propellant engines with some 30 having entered production.
Never heard of this outfit before, but look, they're based in Voronezh, which I keep running into. And how about that title: People’s Commissariat of the Aircraft Industry. Really brings back that old die-hard commie flavor, eh?
