Some info about everyone's favorite Russian ships 
Admiral Nakhimov is in drydock. Repairs are continuing and supposedly new picture (this summer) of it appeared on the web (via Oleg Kuleshov blog) :
But more interesting news, or better rumors, is that Admiral Lazarev could be repaired and modernized after Nakhimov . Supposedly, in 2014. , partial repair of Lazarev was carried out, according to documents leaked on web . Again, another unconfirmed picture of Lazarev appeared on web . More on that on Kuleshov blog (in Russian)

Does this mean the Russian navy is taking a page out of star blazers and going to build a new ship inside the old junker?:S

Ships are old, but missiles are brand new
I guess it is a matter of political decision . For a price of one missile cruiser you could build dozens of corvettes, more useful ships for Russia in current situation . But then again, corvettes do not generate that fear factor that Kirov-class has, especially outfitted with modern anti-ship and cruise missiles. Russian government needs something that would be biggest in the naval .world, and after retirement of Typhoon subs only thing left are Kirovs .
Well, we know that the Nakhimov is going through refit to join the Russian Navy along with the .Some info about everyone's favorite Russian ships

But I do not believe for a moment that the Lazarev is going to be repaired. Everything I have heard over the years is that she is just too far gone. And the Russians have said as much in the past. Which has been well documented on this thread.
She joined the Soviet Navy's Pacific fleet in 1984, but she was laid up in 1999 after the Soviet Union fell because there were insufficient funds to operate her and particularly to maintain her nuclear propulsion. In 2004-2005 her nuclear fuel was unloaded from the ship. She has set at dock now for 16 years. See:
A key quote from the Russian military in that article regarding Lazarev was::
Article said:
I do not think anything has changed for the better in the three year since that was written.
The extreme expense of trying to bring her back would probably buy two of the new, very capable destroyers that the Russians are planning. I just do not see this happening and, as with many Russian pronouncements these days, I will believe this when I see it and not a second before.

The Russian-Egyptian naval exercise Friendship Bridge-2015 in the Mediterranean entered the active phase on June 10
ALEXANDRIA /Egypt/, June 14. /TASS/. Russian and Egypt plan to sign an agreement on simplified procedure for port visits by their ships by the end of this year, Russian deputy Navy Commander Alexander Fedotenkov said on Sunday.
He spoke at a news conference dedicated to the results of the first Russian-Egyptian naval drills Friendship Bridge-2015 that ended on Saturday.
"Several days ago, a joint commission ended its work and we have practically agreed the bulk of provisions of a future agreement on the simplified procedure for port visits by our countries’ ships," he said. "In August, the Egyptian part of the commission will arrive in Moscow to finalize this agreement and get it prepared for signing, which is planned at the end of this year. It is a very quick development of such a serious document."
Fedotenkov said the development of the Russian Navy was being conducted in strict compliance with the programme of development up to the year 2050. The programme was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in May 2015. "We have encountered certain problems stemming from the necessity to substitute for imported equipment. But nonetheless we are keeping within the parameters planned for this year in this programme," he said. "We are finishing state trials of the Admiral Grigorovich patrol ship which is to be handed over to the Russian Black Sea Fleet after the celebrations of the Navy Day in St. Petersburg. We are building ships and boats under other projects and the works are being performed as scheduled. The Black Sea Fleet is a priroty task."
The Russian-Egyptian naval exercise Friendship Bridge-2015 in the Mediterranean entered the active phase on June 10. The Russian and Egyptian ships drilled skills to organize air defence, search for, rescue and tug to safety a ship in distress, transfer cargoes from a helicopter on the move and inspect a suspicious ship.
Russia’s naval group participating in the exercise consisted of the guided missile cruiser The Moskva, missile-carrying hovercraft The Samum, tanker ship The Ivan Bubnov, sea-going tug MB-31, and amphibious assault ship The Aleksandr Shabalin. Egypt delegated two frigates-The Taba and The Sharm El-Sheikh, two missile boats -The April 25 and The June 18 and the Shalatin tanker.
