Sorta looks like they're getting it ready for a garage sale or a flea market:hmm:

(For anyone who doesn't know what a garage sale or a flea market is, it's kinda like E-Bay without the internet)

Suicide rust bomb?

Clearance Sale, everything must go!!!!!

This is how russians sell subs.

Looks like they have taken the top part of the hull off its probably in line for scrap they have a tendancy to start something then finnish it 20 years later. the "rust" is acctually paint its supposed to stop it rusting.
the tanks on top look like either ballast tanks (trim tanks) or just air tanks.

Yushenko's mighty U-Boat fleet.
Funny is that it seems to be tied up alongside another submarine, a Kilo or so.
This can only be a russian one then.
Seems the Ukrainian Navy still has quite good relations to the black sea fleet, despite such niceties as mock bombing raids on Sevastopol by the ukrainian air force.
