So is it getting crapped or re-activated ?

I could quickly (I'm cooking a lunch right now
find only this:which says
- the ship underwent repairs during 2014;
- the schedule of the shipyards in the Russian Far East not clear yet for 2015, but
- the ship probably wouldn't make it Severodvinsk (through the Arctic Ocean -- to join two Kirov-class ships (I intentionally don't call them "battlecruisers") there, with one of them being refurbished: and the other (named "Адмирал Ушаков" now) will be dismantled)
If I find something more specific, I'll post.

says an over-the-horizon radar ("sunflower" I didn't find a web-page with the description in English) will be installed in the Crimean peninsula (doesn't specify where); at the site of a Spanish blogger I found this:
which looks like what that radar could cover

Earlier in 2014 we had a discussion how many aircraft will Russian armed forces (VVS in particular ) receive in that year . Those were posts #923 and #924 . Back then, we were talking about 260 new aircraft , number seemed a bit inflated .
Now we have real report for last year and it goes like this :
VVS received 142 fixed wing aircraft , including 53 Su-30 + Su-35, 16 Su-34 , 28 transport and training aircraft and 18 modernized (not new) Mig-31 BM .
It also received 135 helicopters including 46 attack helicopters (probably Mi-28 ) and 72 airborne assault helicopters (Mi-8 and Mi-24 derivatives)
Long-range (strategic) aviation received seven modernized Tu-95 MS and Tu-160 .
You could find this and other interesting details in article below (in Russian)

Russia's largest shipbuilding company JSC PO "Sevmash" based in Severodvinsk has published the list of new equipment being ordered for the overhaul of Admiral Nakhimov. The list is probably accurate because it was published on a Russian government online B2B trading platform. Admiral Nakhimov is a Kirov class nuclear-powered missile cruiser (Project 1144.2).
