This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
The Lavochkin disambiguity page has two links, both pointing to the same Semyon Lavochkin page. All info on the disambiguity page is duplicated on the Semyon Lavochkin page.
I proposed a merge between this page and the OKB page. A lot of the information is redundant (e.g. the list of aircraft) and it would make more sense to have the information about the OKB and its chief designer on the same page. I propose to move info from this page to the Lavochkin page and make this one a redirect. Comments?

In Popular Culture
Lavochkin is namechecked, under the spelling of Lozgechkin, in the
Gogol Bordello song "Start Wearing Purple." He is named alongside
Diogenes,
Foucault and
Passepartout.
This is true, it is written in the song. Check it out yourself if you'd like. "Lozgechkin" is one of many alternate spellings for Ла́вочкин in the Latin alphabet. Please don't remove this again.

I am fluent in both Russian and English. Lozgechkin is not an accepted spelling of Lavochkin. Trivia is very rarely accepted in WP:Air articles and this is not notable. Why would a Soviet aircraft designer be named in a song alongside Focault? Do you have a credible reference proving ANY of this? I will continue to revert at least until I see a credible source. -

Listen to the stupid song, the name they sing is Ложечкин. If you re-add the text again without providing proof for any of your assertions, you will be listed for blocking due to
disruptive editing. Have a nice day. -

NPO Lavochkin
The last paragraph is not accurate at all. When Lavochkin died, OBK-301 was not closed, it was taken over by Chelomey and later reestablished under his deputy
Georgi Babakin, and it still exists today as a major firm in Russian space industry ("NPO Lavochkin"). Also, the article makes no mention of the very intersting
Burya project.
