It depends on how you define "supercarrier".

The general method is by "displacement".

It used to be that a supercarrier (term first coined by the New York Times in 1938) was a carrier with displacement greater than 20,000 tons.

Later on, in the 1940's, it was redefined to mean a carrier with displacement greater than 40,000 tons.

These days, it's vogue in the US to describe a supercarrier as one having a displacment greater than 70,000 tons, because the US has carriers with displacements larger than that, but the largest Russian carrier has displacement of 65,000 tons.

By that definition, the US has supercarriers, and Russia does not.

Q: Can Russia compete Ship for Ship with the US?

A: Probably not, but they're not trying to cover as big an area. They don't have the same far-flung interests to guard as the US, and for what area they do have to protect, they can throw a punch with such force that you really don't want to get into war with them unless it's to be total.

Q: Who would win a battle at sea...

A: In navel war game excercises, the side with the most subs always wins.

Q: ... and where would the battle be?

A: Well, if the Russians had it their way, it would be in the Arctic Ocean.
