For those posting here interested the production of Soviet/Russian turbine transports (which roughly corresponds to all major airliners built there since 1960) the total figure is 9,503, broken down as follows:
Jet - 3,859. Largest numbers are the Yak 40 (1,011 built), then Tu 154 (926 built).
Turboprop - 5,644. Largest numbers are the Antonov 24 - 32 types (3,413 built).
In addition there were many other types built. The Antonov 2 10-seat feederliner with the big radial piston engine has turned out over 15,000 examples until well into the 1990s.
