What is the history of the aircraft carrier Kiev?

"Kiev" is the first ship of the Kiev-class aircraft carrier of the former Soviet Union. Built in 1970. Although it has never participated in any battles in history, it visited India, Korea and Algeria during its service. Known as "crystal ideal" and "national business card", it was once a symbol of the former Soviet navy. In August, 2000, among nine buyers from the United States and India, China won the bid to tow Kiev to Tianjin International Amusement Port to restore its original appearance and transform it from a military wreck into a peaceful and ecological public paradise.
