Antonov Landing Technique

Hi all,

I saw this youtube video (at 1:10) where the pilot makes a pronounced nose down control column movement right before touchdown. I've noticed that a lot of the Russian built planes tend to land pretty flat, as opposed to the more pronounced nose high attitude seen on western designs. Can anyone with experience on Russian planes give some insight into why this is so?
