The chairman of technical commission POPPY [A]. Morozov informs, that, in spite of the serious damages of the tape-drive mechanisms of onboard chart recorders (vocal and parametric), is produced the readout of their records. The records of the emergency flight of the aircraft B -737-500 of № VP-BKO of airline “Aeroflot- north” are located on both chart recorders. In the technical center POPPY the specialists take up the interpretation.
Unfortunatelly quality of air-crash investigations has fallen dramatically during last 10-15 years in Russia.

1. recorders are found and read, despite severe damage
2. Based on evaluation of engines (remains thereof), and recorder data, engines were found operating normally till impact.
3. Determined no in-flight breakup.

Don't get me wrong, the witness reports are better than nothing but they don't belong as Headlines

The next order from the russian aviation authoriries concerning the perm crash has been issued. Particulary it contains (in my free-style translation
):
1) Ensure captain training curriculums correspond to state standards in all aircompanies
2) Prohibit transition of captains from 3 and more crew member planes to 2 crew member planes without flying experience as a FO on 2 crew member planes
3) Design and apply measures to increase professional pilots training quality and avoid formal approach to evaluation of their skills
I feel deep sorry and respect to the crew and I'm sure they did everything they could to avoid the crash, but such message gives something to think about.

I found this CCTV video of impact:
Âåñòè.Ru: íîâîñòè, âèäåî è ôîòî äíÿ
The quality is not good, but two landing lights can be seen before impact. No signs of airplane on fire in the air. Probably witnesses identified landing lights as a sign of fire.

I think it would better to wait for at least a profound analasys of the crash with FDR/CVR data before issuing somthing like that...

Although not official, the person posting this is generally considered reliable/reputable. And he says "I got it from a source which is reliable enough".
Edited translation, what I changed is lower case, [my comments in square brackets].

I puposely didn't quote your translation in case you want to delete it later.
It certainly gives pause in thought to what was happening. However, to me there are too many questions and with such limited experience on my part I would have to defer to type rated pilots to decipher what may have been going on to match the words.

From the article here: Ú - Boeing óïàë ÷èñòî ïî-÷åëîâå÷åñêè
I will translate only the most relevant portions:
While the article does not specifically says so, it appears as though they had access to cockpit voice recording.
They go on to speculate about differences in artificial horizon output between Russian and foreign planes that may have contributed to this, as well as relative inexperience of pilots with this type of plane (captain had a few hundred hours as an FO on Boeing, prior to that FO on Tu-134, etc).
Who knows what that means, but Kommersant is generally a fairly respectable publication.
I will translate only the most relevant portions:
The crew of Boeing, according to some experts, was in a critical situation, after the aircraft, which was lead by controller, after safely performing four turns in the "box" and taking a course for landing, suddenly climbed sharply. This maneuver, the cause of which has not yet been determined, apparently, was a complete surprise to the controller of Perm airport Irek Bikbov, who called these actions inadequate for the pilots themselves. What follows from decoding of talks among the pilots, they learned that the machine is going up from the radio dispatcher. The climb itself (rather than descent) was not particularly dangerous, especially since the controller suggested that Boeing pilots turn and repeat the approach. However, they were unable to comply with his instructions for yet undetermined reasons.
It is likely that the incident simply confused them and they lost spatial orientation. In any case, this is evident in their [pilots]conversation - after accepting controllers instructions for second approach, pilots began to vigorously argue about turn direction - left or right. The captain, who insisted on the left turn, won this dispute and the aircraft turned away from the landing "boxe" on the right, and towards residential areas of Perm. However, the crew was unable to complete this maneuver: the plane banked too far to the left and fell into a rapid spiral dive.

Russian news sites claim that the crash was caused by "human factor". Investigators concluded that the plane crashed due to the crew error. Pilots lost orientation and were unable to determine climbing (they discovered climbing only after ATC had told them. how is it possible?! 
).
That's what news tell. However I haven't seen any official report yet.

I would doubt it very much, that it was 'just' human error, although it is possible.
IF everything was working fine on the flightdeck, then there is little reason for disorientation and loss of situational awareness. Have they really checked and ruled out all other possibilities in such a short time? What about a failed horizon or the like?
Never flown a 37, but as there are thousands around and they don´t fall out of the skies like appels in autumn, there might very well be more to it than just the easy way out, pilot error.

Just a comment regarding this last exclamation from the leaked transcript. This is not just a curse and it is impossible to translate it in English (that is why it is translated as "F...K"). But this curse normally means something like a “fatal end”. So, eventually the crew has realized that they had lost it. Very sad
Only half a speed-brake
That is exactly the way it is. In CIS (for local crews) the ATCO issues the orders, truly. Think what you may but don't fight it, ever. That's the procedure.
