Crayner: please identify the spoilers in the photos. Hence my question. I don't see any spoilers deployed; unless they were retracted for the evacuation, but then again, it is not necessary to do so given the position of the exits.
@RAT-5
Some do, apparently.

RAT 5 The photos are poor resolution, but in the one taken from the tail there are lines above the flap hinges. They could be spoilers, but appear too far aft. In the other which shows part of a wing tip there is a possible control surface protruding above the upper surface. Again, not where I would've thought you'd put a spoiler, but then, I'm not a Russian aeronautical engineer.
