If you accept Challenge as canon (I know some people do and some people don't; I also know it's often used as a reference point for a later article about some US Navy destroyers) the Poles have one

Challenge Magazine 25, Looter's Guide to the Baltic Coast
The current Polish naval presence at Gydnia consists of one Whiskey Class submarine, three Osa class guided missile patrol boats, five P6 Class patrol torpedo boats, and one T43 class ocean minesweeper

If the Poles have one it probably stands to reason that the Russians have a few (the Poles only had four to start with, so that represents 25% of their submarine fleet having survived to 2000 - that's impressive, although granted IRL they were all retired in 1986.)
