After touch down, the aircraft collided with a concrete fence and rolled into a village, located 1000m away from the runway, substantially on the runway's extended centerline.
I don't speak Russian, so I can't comment on the translation - but "rolled" would seem to imply that the aircraft wasn't airborne between the runway contact and the crash site.

That's hard to reconcile with Kulverstukas' second photo, which shows the houses nearest to the runway still intact.
