Most of their Navy is 1980's & 90's technology and a large portion of it is sitting dry docked. Much of it is "scheduled" to be upgraded & modernized, but of course that takes money and time.
Russia has money but not the kind of money to finance large Naval fleets like it used to do. They currently have only 1 aircraft carrier, that should give an idea of what their navy is capable of and most of their subs are sitting in the docks.
Their Navy consists of just over 100k men and that includes their marines.
