Nope.
Isn’t Ustinov in the Mediterranean at the moment?
Turkey is not allowing passage to warships of any country since February.
A certain unnamed forum used to be good but now there's paid commentators (you'll quickly identify them) spamming one sided propaganda including work hours and at night.
So, still better than that Norwegian aegis frigate...
The other two Slava-class cruisers are in the Northern Sea and Pacific Sea fleets respectively. And those are the main areas of operation for the Russian Navy. Perhaps they could move the Slava in the Northern Sea, i.e. the Marshal Ustinov, to the Black Sea once the Admiral Gorshkov-class frigate "Admiral Golovko" enters service. It is currently in sea trials.

The yachts of Russian businessmen are more expensive than the ships of the Russian Navy built in 20 years
Against the backdrop of a fire on the cruiser Moskva, interesting statistics appeared on the network. In Russia, according to the Telegram channel "Mitchman Ptichkin's Notes", the cost of the yachts of the oligarchs built over the past 20 years is higher than that of the ships of the Russian Navy built in the same years.
The channel notes that over the past 20 years, the following ships of the Navy of I and II ranks have been built: two project 22350 frigates (2x $450 million), three project 11356 frigates (3x $430 million), seven project 20380/85 corvettes (7x $250 million), two BDK project 11711 (2x $160 million). During the same years, 20 yachts owned by Russian businessmen were built. Among them are Dilbar ($550 million, blocked by the authorities of Hamburg) and Ona by Alisher Usmanov ($210 million), Eclipse by Roman Abramovich ($460 million), Nirvana and Anastasia by Vladimir Potanin ($100 million and $80 million). In total, the cost of 20 yachts is more than all the ships of the Navy built in the same years.
We will remind, earlier the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported a fire on the missile cruiser "Moskva", as a result of which ammunition detonated. The ship received serious damage. The crew was completely evacuated, there were no casualties. The cause of the fire is being established. Where exactly the incident occurred, the ministry does not specify. According to some reports, the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet was previously involved in a special military operation. The source of ignition on the cruiser "Moskva" is localized. There is no open fire. Explosions of ammunition have been stopped. The cruiser "Moskva" remains buoyant.

Presumably the Russian cruiser knows it is in a war zone and is secured accordingly, while the Norwegian frigate was essentially in port and in the lowest state of watertightness.
You're very harsh on that episode.The truth was and the inquiry commission findings confirmed it that was nothing wrong with Navantia F310 class of frigate of the Royal Norwegian Navy wich in my opinion are very good ships. It is an different matter and the findings confirmed that the ship company and there's command did not know wat they wore doing and even after the collision with the tanker panicked and abandoned ship wich could have been save and worse to occult this fiasco the Royal Norwegian Navy began leaking stories in the press that was samething wrong with the Navantia frigate design.
