There is no USSR anymore, but it doesn't change anything. Russia is the only post-USSR country that have all the nuclear potential of Soviet Union. Everything doesn't matter.

Yea they still have a military and nukes but they are still not what they used to be. Hell it wasn't til just a few years ago that Russia's Navy was still mothballed.

One nuke - one carrier. Easy arithmetic, isn't it? According to the US sources, only one old good battle cruiser like "Moskva" equipped with Granit is able to destroy at least two aircraft carriers.
