How close did that come to the Kazan accident?
Not as close as this one:

REPORT ON THE serious incident to icelandair BOEING 757

in which aircraft attitude pitch during a go-around went from +21 to -49.

I bet this is a template for what happened here in Kazan.

These Icelandair pilots only recovered because they had sufficient altitude but they recovered real low - about 300 ft AGL. The aircraft was pulled out of service and underwent complete C-check and full inspection for damage, passengers were terrified and they were positive they would die.
