If you get into the # of operational, deliverable nukes, the US has far more. Russia can be a thousand times bigger than it is now; in a nuclear war, every major hub with 100,000+ people will probably be hit multiple times.
I doubt that in an all-out nuclear war, ANY country would be able to avoid total destruction, let alone defeat. Actually, scratch that, I have no doubts at all.
