They have just one carrier, which is old and seldom used.
She is newer than half of the Nimitz class... being commissioned around 1990

The Nimitz class is, however, exceptionally well-funded and kept up.
I don't think the USSR was ever really into power projection; certainly not in the style of the US Navy or the Royal Navy before that. Russia has always been most concerned with fending off invasions and deterring attacks, thanks to historical episodes with Hitler and Napoleon, etc.

Russia's defence ministry says two of its navy destroyers forced away a Dutch submarine to stop it spying on an aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean.
The sub was 20km (12 miles) from the Admiral Kuznetsov at the time of the incident, the military said.
