And one more thing — from the released CVR transcript, it does seem that the Tupolev crew used GPS to monitor their progress towards the turn to final („the 4th turn”). Which is not too bad, as they, as the transcript goes, certainly had their ADFs tuned to the right frequencies and had enough room to align the flightpath with the LOM-LMM-threshold line using that nifty dual-needle ADF dial. And there's no indication whatsoever that they had the misalignment problem the alleged interview refers to.
