No they don't. The only airliner they build is the small Sukhoi SSJ-10, which uses French engines and a ton of Western avionics and systems.
- ElectricalUnion 5y agoTu-204? It's performance and efficiency are horrible by Western standards, but it's by no mean bad enough to be unusable. Irkut MC-21? Most of the actual aircraft don't need to be big to be effective. Russia actually has a small population for it's size. They actually (well, not anymore) build a substantial ammount of Ukranian aircraft as well, most of the Ukraine Antonov aircraft was more or less actually manufactured in Russia.
