From the video that was either a barrel roll that went wrong and ended up as a split 'S' or an attempt at a split 'S' that still went badly wrong.

Standing by to be corrected.
According to the An-2 Flight Manual

http://www.avialogs.com/en/aircraft/...2irengine.html

"Acrobatic flights" are forbidden (page 79) and bank limitation in turn is 45 degrees (page 81).
