Kulverstukas what an excellent find.
While curious ones are mastering Google Russian, from humanity consideration - I do an amateur translation of the significant bit. The PRELIMINARY survey of the accident (as it's named) states that from the height of 220m they went to the go around. On reaching 900 m height - ? it went wrong. say. (Translate it better, please, the technical name, from the report, about what took place at the 900 m height.) At that time they were in manual . mode.
When AP was disengaged - the report doesn't mention at all. Neither when it was ever switched on. Of other interesting things I spotted that the crew told the tower about two weather things observed by them - of the "wind shear on the straight line" - when they were about to start the first landing (exact time or plane location during that wind shear are not listed), and, next, about "slight icing" of the plane - when they were completing the first go-round and were at the height 2450 - and that the crew asked the tower for the permission to increase their height to 4550 m because of that "slight icing". Which was granted, and from that height, it appears, they began the second landing. The report states that both landing attempts were done with the landing course 218 degrees.
