Well I can't identify it outright but I can tell you what I see in the picture. First thing is the vessel is being launched. Next is the Russian lettering/words on the bow. The sail is of a Sierra class look. It's not very large leading me to believe that it's an attack sub. The unusual bow shape is confusing, but I believe that it may be part of the launching and not part of the boat. I'll take a stab here anyways and say it's a Sierra.

Edit: never mind, my guess is wrong. I found the source page for the pics.
