The ninth motor ship "Alexander Suvorov" was received by the Volga-Don Shipping Company , but after a well-known accident that occurred in 1983 near Ulyanovsk and the subsequent restoration, it was also transferred to the Volga Shipping Company. One of the renamed motor ships of the series bears the name of Sergey Kuchkin, who worked in 1958–1960 as the head of the OEP (Volga United River Shipping Company).
Ships of the type "Valerian Kuibyshev" were used and are still operated on the Volga , Oka , Moscow River , Neva , rivers and lakes of the Volga-Baltic waterway .
