That's if they had any. Russian got put back more than two decades in terms of R&D when the Soviet Union collapsed. They have some proposed designs right now but it'll be at least a couple of decades before they even have anything working to replace the old Backfire and Blackjack bombers.
Heck the Russians are still using the old TU-95 turboprops from the 50s
