It would be huge. According to the Order of Battle for the Black Sea Fleet, Alrosa is the only submarine based out of Sevastopol. There are two fairly big reasons she'd be a huge prize: 1) she's fresh out of an expensive refit, so destroying her means all that money is flushed down the drain and 2) she is the only Kilo-class sub with a pump jet propulsion system, so repairing that will be costly and difficult.
