I thought it was double hulled.

The Russians are masters of jury rigging and jerry building to get out of a fix. Hell if you took the corruption out of the supply chain with the increased spending they should be able to fix things and get the parts. The problem is the corruption.
Though there are times when this whole "new equipment" over support thing goes into a real head. Such as when they designed the Typhoon much bigger than it had to be partially to avoid having to dredge an appropriately deep channel.
