Raduga Design Bureau is the common catalog name for the Dubna design bureau that official and sanctions sources identify as A.Y. Bereznyak GosMKB Raduga JSC. The bureau's own historical material traces the lineage to 1951, when an OKB-155 branch was organized at the Dubna plant for cruise-missile work.

For this archive, Raduga provides builder context for cataloged missile entries that use Raduga manufacturer spellings, including Kh-55/Kh-555, Kh-59, Kh-69, and Kh-32 family references. The profile keeps the legal, historical, and abbreviated name variants together so users can move between the common shorthand and the formal corporate record.
