Quote from the RT article:

"Anonymous experts Kommersant talked to believe the pilot did not manage the diving rudder and horizontal stabilizer, which steer the plane in opposite directions – down and up, respectively.

When the pilot pulled up, he put both the rudder and stabilizer in a sharp climb mode, somewhat fighter-jet style, plus enacted the TOGA regime’s retracted flaps, decreasing ascending force. As a result, the aircraft lost speed and got into the beyond-stall angle of approach. All this led to an uncontrollable dive, the experts believe."

Anyone still think it's accurate, credible and objective? The second paragraph is not the issue - that is just down to translation. It is the first paragraph that makes me think the research is limited to reading the ill-informed comments by the wannabees on the R&N forum.
