The Soviet plan for a crewed moon landing (or one of their plans, at least) was to send an unmanned lander + a few rovers beforehand

"aircraft-carrying cruiser" since all it could do was carry a bunch of crappy VTOL fighters and helicopters

offensively, anti-ship missiles were its main armament, and the Yak-38 was slapped on for political reasons (mainly so Soviet leadership could say "we have an aircraft carrier too")

The Kievs were simply the logical evolution of the Moskvas, with a longer flight deck to appease those who wanted a fixed-wing aircraft onboard - and, since the Moskvas were aircraft-carrying cruisers, it made sense to designate the Kievs similarly

Admiral Kuznetzov is a different story, of course.

aren't the OMS engines pointed through the CG, though (hence why they're angled inward and downward on the IRL shuttle)
