Slightly better translation than google:

Today revision "Vesti" program has at its disposal information that leads us back to the recent disaster, "Boeing" in Rostov-on-Don. This interpretation of the last words from the CVR, a minute before the collision with the ground. The document is not official, from sources in the commission of inquiry, which shifted voice recorder information on paper. Without claiming to be the truth - it is only the investigation findings - Now we try to simulate the situation that prevailed before the disaster aboard.
Thus, Boeing-737-800 company FlyDubai in harsh weather conditions was not able to land in Rostov and the aircraft commander - 37-year-old Aristos Socratous decides to try to land a 2nd time. At this time, the autopilot is engaged. Time 1 hour 40 minutes 00 seconds GMT.

CVR transcript:
-‘Going around’
-‘Climbing to 50’
-‘Climbing to 50’

"Climbing to 50" – means climbing to height of 1500 meters. Boeing climbed at an angle of 15 degrees, it is normal mode. In these shots we see how the plane goes up, going beyond the view of the camera. Climbing continues on autopilot for 40 seconds. Before reaching this height, the commander disengages the autopilot. The reason is not yet clear.
Maybe the plane ran into atmospheric scissors (pilot slang), which could violently shake it. But exactly after this second, after the autopilot disconnect the Boeing dives to the ground.
And these are the words of transcripts translated us into the Russian language for clarity
01:40:40GMT“Do not worry, do not worry, do not worry!”
01:40:45GMT “Don’t do this, don’t do this, don’t do this!”
01:40:50GMT ‘Pull! Pull! Pull!
01:40:54GMT ‘Aaaaaa’

That is, the pilots could not do anything with the aircraft, which flew nose to the ground, such is the version of the experts.

By disabling the autopilot, pilot tried to bring "Boeing" in horizontal flight, but at this moment the stabiliser which is located at the keel went into ‘dive mode’. In this mode, the elevator is no longer effective and practical does not respond to control inputs. The pilots apparently did not realize that the sharp dive is responsible by the stabilizer.
The question is- why has the stabiliser switched to ‘dive mode’? This mode is activated by a button the pilots call ‘Knyupel’ That is, during turbulence by going into manual mode, the pilot could have accidentally activated the ‘knyupel’, and he did not notice, as he complained before about chronic fatigue. Otherwise - it is an unprecedented surprise from the automatic system.
During the last six seconds of the recording, according to our source, the screams heard were inhumane. We chose not to play them.
Plane crashes with acceleration at 1 hour 41 minutes and 00 seconds GMT killing all 62 people. Once again, the official conclusions about the causes of the disaster can only be made after the results of the investigation.
