The Russian Aviation Interstate Committee (MAK) have released their final report in Russian (http://www.mak.ru/russian/investigations/2010/report_ra-64011.pdf) concluding the probable cause was:

Contributing factors were:
- lack of crew training to conduct approaches in minimum weather conditions
- inadequate crew resource management
- failure of autoflight systems increasing the workload
- failure of the crew to look for an alternate airport with better weather conditions
- failure of the captain to take a decision when approach lights did not become visible until minimums
- failure of the first officer to go-around in accordance with manuals
- poor communication on the flight deck resulting in observing crew members being unaware the airplane had descended below safe height
- the failure of the autoflight systems and the impossibility to remove that fault together with inadequate training and possible fatigue most likely created mental and emotional stress that prevented the crew from making the best decisions to complete the flight.
