Jim's right--the Russian Navy at the moment has no carriers. I'm not even sure if the Kiev and the Minsk are still in service.
The only way I might be mistaken is if the Russians still have the Kuznetsov. Then they could field one viable CBG, and two essentially ASW groups centered on the Kiev and the Minsk. Given that the Forger is out of service--something which I think the AV-MF is very glad of--the latter would have nothing but helos.
I think Russia could, within five years (and assuming their economy keeps growing), field a navy roughly equal to France's. Backed by a powerful land-based naval aviation force (which Russia still has), that would be more than sufficient to keep Russia in the game.
