Were Kirov-class ships still being built in 2022?

No new Kirovs were under construction: the class's 2022 story was one active ship, one long refit, and older hulls being cancelled or scrapped.

Question

Were Kirov-class battlecruisers still being built in 2022?

Short answer

No; the programme had shifted to operating or refitting survivors while older and unfinished hulls were scrapped or cancelled.

Notes

A viewer asks whether Kirov-class ships were still being built. The answer is no and gives the livestream's 2022 status picture instead. Admiral Nakhimov was undergoing refit, Peter the Great remained with the Northern Fleet, an unfinished unit had long been cancelled, and older hulls were entering or awaiting scrapping. This historical snapshot cleanly separates new construction from the modernization of surviving ships.
