Do you really think that aircraft carriers are so important nowadays? Especially for a deeply continental country like Russia which is not surrounded by oceans. Yeah they were extremely powerful thing in the middle of 20th century. They also very useful in conflicts with small banana countries. In case of military conflicts with nuclear countries they just useless.
Vendzilla, as a former sailor, you must know that both former Soviet Union and modern Russia have the same military doctrine on aircraft carriers: tactical nukes and nothing else. The real war against superpowers will be all about nuclear missiles. Russia and the States have almost the same amount of strategic nukes. However Russia has a way more tactical ones, because it's a continental country and must be ready to fight against any potential enemy right near its border on even inside (e.g. "Базальт", "Вулкан", "Яхонт/Оникс" for sea launch and "Точка-У", "Искандер" etc for land launch).
