Shchetinin (Russian: Щетинин) was the first Russian aviation company. It was founded in St. Petersburg in 1909 under the name Russko-Baltiskovo Vagonovo Zavod (Russo-Baltic Railway Car Plant). The company was led by the famous pilot S. S. Shchetinin and the lead designer was Dmitry Pavlovich Grigorovich. The company focused mainly on a series of flying boats, which initially were modeled after the American aircraft Curtiss Model K.
