As a very regular pax can someone explain to me briefly in Laymans language exactly what happened in relation to the cause of crash ?

I read the cockpit transcript and watched the you tube video and it frightened the crapout of me ! I sometimes have to fly Aeroflot . so you can understand my concern .
I thought that the following post by

Vovachan below was sucinct enough. If you want to lessen your concern than you would have to delve much deeper into the corrective actions recommended by the investigating agency, if any, and the addressing of these concerns by the operator

due to pilot shortage those guys were quickly re-trained so they were marginally proficient on the Boeing. Plus they were confused abt navigation, one was inebriated, the plane was listing to one side. They were used to an easier workload in a 4 man cockpit, so they just couldn't handle it IMO.
