I'm talking about a second IL-76 approach. The way the officer in charge talks to IL-76 crew and to the ATC is completely different to the way he talks to the TU154M crew.

here is the part where, in my opinion, the officer in charge gives an order to IL-76 crew to go around and then proceed to their alternative:
If TU154M managed to survive, it have to be the same for them. If you read entire ATC recording, you'll find out that ATC spent a lot of time trying to find what's the alternative for the TU154M, and they don't even thought about landing in such conditions.

And it's certainly different in the way:
1. IL-76 pilot can understand ATC freely, even in "full speed" russian.
2. ATC knows that he has command over aircraft. If IL-76 goes against ATC will, like Yak-40 did, pilot can be questioned by superior. And it's not the case for Poles pilots. They discuss it at 9:23:42, 9:40:19, 10:00:15 and 10:37:42
3. IL-76 give "tickets" feedback. No feedback was from Yak-40, ATC even complain about that at 9:16:58, then they discuss that Yak-40 pilot doesn't understand them.
