I want to know the answer to the following question:
What was Izvestiya?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Speaking in St. Petersburg, Russia on 30 June 2011, the head of Russia's United Shipbuilding Corporation said his company expected to begin design work for a new carrier in 2016, with a goal of beginning construction in 2018 and having the carrier achieve initial operational capability by 2023.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
