Aeroflot Nord is not a "Directorate" of Aeroflot, that was an old Soviet era concept. It was an independent carrier Archangel Airlines based in the far north of Arctic Russia. Aeroflot bought a majority (but not total) number of the shares 4 years ago, and they started to re-equip from Soviet era Tupolevs to secondhand western types like the 737 in question. As I understand it they operate on a separate AOC to Aeroflot.
Moscow to Perm is not on the Aeroflot Nord network, but is a mainstream Aeroflot route, so the operation is an effective wet-lease, or similar to a US commuter carrier operation. Aeroflot Nord flights are numbered 5N whereas mainstream Aeroflot flights are SU. There are a number of such flights for mainline Aeroflot out of Moscow (their only operational base nowadays) to various Russian cities. The aircraft rotate in/out of the Archangel base.
Russian aircraft imported from the "west" are almost entirely registered in the west (Bermuda is a favourite but there are others) due to a very substantial import tax in Russia on aircraft.

Nothing really factual is available so far.
1. 87 fatalities, no survivors,
2. aircraft damaged the rail line (about 50 meters of rail, railroad section closed for repairs)
3. Aircraft type reported 737-500
4. News reports aircraft was in for emergency landing when it crashed. The report states it like an emergency has already been declared, but I do not see any sort of confirmation for this.
5,. Probably based on eyewitness accounts, reports are that aircraft was on fire and broke-up in mid air.
6. Raido contact lost at 03:10 MSK at altitude of 1800 meters.
7. Black box (at least one) is reported found.
In case someone would need this, hotline phone +7 342 2949848 (in Russian probably)

Most recent update (source being local TV) is that there was an engine failure and/or fire of some sort, and it did a go around on a first landing attempt. Although there is no information about engine problem developing before or after go around.

1. The airplane crased after Go-around from about 1800 m (about 6000 ft).
2. The eyewitnesses say it already was in fire before ground contact and descended on a path about 40 degrees angle.
3. According the TechLog it had some problems with Autothrottle.

Russian media are talking about an engine failure on flight SU281 and that the rescuers have recovered the FDR and CVR. Crash site on the Trans-Siberia railway (extensively damaged) missed surrounding apartment blocks, so there are no reported injuries or fatalities on the ground.
Flight crew are named as commander Rodion Mikhaylovich Medvedev and copilot Rustam Rafailovich Allaberdin, stewards, Shirokov A.D., Noritsina T.V., Yakovlev A.Y. and Kuchma O.V., and the passenger list names 82 passengers including 6 children. RIP.
Apparently a family of 5, including 2 children, missed the flight at SVO.

@Simonpro. Thank you for the link, but... I wish I wasn't able to understand some parts of the text...
An amateur translation of mine, sorry if not accurate...
Eyewitnesses described some the shocking details of the Perm's tragedy during the first minutes after the accident of Boeing-737.
According to them, the first on-site were... the local looters.
- They hastily weared-off clothes from the dead bodies, "Svolochi" ... - told an eyewitnes.
They were searching for passports, jewelry. «There were a lot of things», - noticed one of the local residents. Five looters were caught and are being held now.
People hyenas, my God!
Очевидцы трагедии в Перми рассказали шокирующие подробности происходившего в первые минуты после падения самолета Боинг-737.
По их словам, оказавшиеся первыми на месте ЧП люди... начали мародерничать.
- Они с трупов одежду снимали, сволочи..., - всхлипывая, рассказывала одна из очевидиц катастрофы.
Добычей мародеров стали паспорта, драгоценности. «Там много чего», - заметил один из
местных жителей. Пятеро мародеров были пойманы на месте преступления.

First of All I am not an aviation Expert/pilot/ or ATC I am just an enthusiast who likes aviation with some small knowledge compared to others here in the forum. so don't falme on me ...................
I have noticed on the link of the russian newspaper Ïîä Ïåðìüþ ðàçáèëñÿ «Áîèíã-737». 88 ïîãèáøèõ : that they attached a chart for the Runway 21 Approach
http://life.ru/media/content/0908/f1...5e10ce5c4a.jpg
I don't know if this chart is from the crash incident or they just put any chart
the Chart is russian so I am not able to understand weather that's a ILS/VOR/NDB APP
But checking the Latest Jeppesen Charts for the Airport I see 2 APP Charts for the Runway
1 - ILS OR LOC RWY 21 = Effective : 1 Feb 08
2- 2 NDB OR NDB RWY 21 = Effective : 14 Feb 08
refering back to the russian Chart on the newspaper's website we can see at the first part that it read (26 anp 00)
which means that it's outdated remember the Crash of the 737 US Airforce in 1996 in Croatia
Again DON'T FLAME ON ME it's just my opinion and I am declearing it
the investigation at the end will say the truth (let's hope)
finally RIP all involved

There is an agreement between the Russian and Bermuda governments under ICAO Article 83bis, whereby regulation and oversight of Annex 1 (Licencing) and Annex 6 (Operations) are transferred to the Russian Authorities. Responsibilities and oversight under Annex 8 (Airworthiness) are retained by Bermuda, who have Inspectors based in Moscow.
I suggest that readers look up what all that means before jumping to conclusions.
