I tried the search bar for this link and video title and didn't find it on the forum.

I don't have too much to say about this video other than I found it interesting and might be nice for less knowledgeable members to see a little inside the Russian engine process.   

EDIT: Also, at ~5:19 you see a nice example of the vernier's countering a clockwise roll.

 I thought it was very informative in deed.  I saw nothing but a video of people building excellent machinery of which they can be very proud.  Going beyond the technical parts it was very interesting to see the interviews with individuals who are very aware of how important a contribution they are making. Good stuff. Thanks.

Usual Russian cr*p about "unique" tech, which "no one can reproduce".
Yep, some propaganda made its way onto this Roskosmos video. Which should not surprise anyone.

The subtitle says "production", but the narrator says " of own developed construction", which is a bit of a stretch. A Kremlin stretch.

I cannot remember the relationship now between engine construction for Proton that takes place in Voronezh, and that which is conducted in Perm, or Omsk. Some of the work has been moved around in recent years. I think that Perm makes the RD-275 engines for the first stage.

Note that there is a world of difference between engine design and engine construction, but Voronezh does both, sometimes making engines designed elsewhere.

VMZ plant, located in Voronezh, makes engines for Proton's second and third stages.

Proton-PM plant, located in Perm, makes engines for Proton's first stage.

Proton-PM plant, located in Perm, makes engines for Proton's first stage.
In particular, VMZ does the manufacturing of the KBKhA engines (RD-210 family). Proton-PM is simply the Khrunichev's engine factory that NPO Energomash has transferred the RD-191 serial production (as it had the RD-253 family).
KBKhA does belongs to Khrunichev, but it is like NPO Energomash under Energia. The Soyuz propulsion is manufactured in a similar way. The Rd-107/8 is made by Progress of Samara under the NPO Energomash supervision, and the RD-0110 and RD-0124 are made by VMZ.
