Tu-204/214 is built in artisanal numbers. Like 3 per year on average. Total production is less than hundred. Also it is last airliner with 3 man cockpit crew, roster of roosters includes flight engineer. When war interrupted deliveries western jets to Russian airliners, Russian government suggested producing 70 new Tu-214 until 2030... but even Aeroflot said nope as it hopelessly obsolete plane from Soviet era and they wanted MS-21, that is stuck in development hell due lack of sanctioned western components and Russian domestic replacements being delayed.
