The closest comparison to type 055 capability today is USN Zamwalt DD1000.

China & Russia are not in competition. If anything, these warships will be an asset to Russia when hostilities break out with the west.

It is not answer, because Type-55 is the newest generation and Slava-class is past generation. Different level. Though Slava-class is still deadly and can fight with modern ships.

Russia has territorial dispute with Japan and due to Russia's weak navy particular in far east they are heavily reliant on the powerful Chinese navy for defense.

I mean Type 055 and Slava are similar size and role.
