They've still got the world's largest nuclear stockpile and a slightly psychopathic leader who seems indifferent to killing people.

I’d hedge a bet that Russia does not have the effective largest stockpile given their maintenance difficulties.
I don't think the size of the working stockpile matters. It's that they have enough. Even the successful detonation of one working nuke would be catastrophic.
