Circumstances:
En route from Chita to Krasnoyarsk, the crew encountered poor weather conditions with heavy snow falls. Maybe the crew elected to make an emergency landing when the three engine aircraft hit the slope of a mountain and crashed somewhere between these two cities. While both pilots (among them captain A. F. Bazanov) were uninjured, the aircraft was written off.
