Nah they wouldn’t. It’s 95% finished, but it was such in 1993 when they were giving it to Ukraine, i imagine that despite Russia military condition is much better now the ship has likely deteriorated to the point it would need basically rebuilding. Also it’s quite obsolete by now, as Moskva example unfortunately proves, note that 2 of 3 those ships were used mostly as flagships because they are pretty big. Newer russian frigates are probably more battle worthy despite being less than half displacement.
About renaming, fun fact (though also sad): The current flagship of Pacific Fleet, Varyag, also a Slava class cruiser, was originally named Chervona Ukraina.
