Most likely they would build their carriers from scratch and use the Varyag and the 3 Kiev class carriers they have acquired as training carriers. However, it is not inconceivable that they could reactivate 1 or 2 of the Kievs. The Varyag which is only 70% finished would be more difficult to complete and recommission.
