List of aircraft carriers of Russia and the Soviet Union

The list of aircraft carriers of the Soviet Union and Russia includes all aircraft carriers built by, proposed for, or in service with the naval forces of either the Soviet Union or Russia. Although listed as aircraft carriers, none of them (with the exception of the never-built Ulyanovsk) is a "true" aircraft carrier (supercarrier). Specifically, they were all ASW helicopter carriers or aircraft cruisers, including the Admiral Kuznetsov, the only carrier still in service with the Russian Navy. Russia is currently considering building a supercarrier, code-named Project Shtorm. All completed aircraft carriers of Soviet and Russian navy have been built by Ukrainian shipyards in city of Mykolaiv.
