 Soviet aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This was based upon the 1975 Project 1153 OREL (which never went beyond blueprints), and the initial commissioned name was to be Kremlin, but was later given the name Ulyanovsk.
The configuration would have been very similar to U.S. Navy carriers, though with the typical Soviet twist of adding ASM and SAM launchers.
Her hull was laid down in 1988, but the project was cancelled, (at 40% complete) along with a sister ship, in 1991 after the end of the Cold War.

The Antonov An-71 (NATO reporting name: "Madcap") was a Soviet AWACS aircraft intended for use on the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov.
Development never progressed past the prototype stage, the first of which flew on July 12, 1985.
It was rejected in favor of the Yakovlev Yak-44, which in turn was cancelled along with the supercarrier Ulyanovsk after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
