The navigator shouting that the plane did not descent, while in fact the terrain was dropping, was inexperienced?
Navigator had just 30 h on type.

when the MAK report says:
c. The crew did not have current aeronautical data for the destination aerodrome Smolensk "North", including the existing NOTAMs .
