6 feared dead as Russian transport plane crashes in Siberia
How many fatal accidents by Russian operators for this year are we at now ?

Outside Russia, nothing in 2013 except the Superjet 100 gear-up landing in Reykjavik with minor injuries.

Aren't they pictures from two, possibly three DIFFERENT crash sites? (tail logo may have been painted out after the event on the second shot of a blue aircraft, I accept)

Madness!
As VNAV PATH sagely observed, the two photos posted by StormyKnight don't seem to resemble Siberian winter
And yes, KarlADrage has it right -- they are two different crash sites, both vastly remote from Siberia.
The upper photo appears to be of a Tu-134 that crashed near Petrozavodsk (in far northwestern Russia) in June of 2011.
The lower photo -- an actual AN-12 this time! -- would seem to be a crash in the Phillipines in April of 2010.
No doubt StormyKnight posted in good faith, unaware that the linked sources inexcusably stuck random file photos on their reports without identifying them as such!
To complete the circle, we need an online journal that illustrates the Irkutsk crash story with a photo of the Zeppelin Hindenburg burning up at Lakehurst, NJ.

Looks like Vovachan has a proper picture.
It would be interesting to learn what made this accident non-survivable by the crew & passengers. Clearly the front end was heavily involved in fire, but frequently there is some time at the beginning of an event that allows the able-bodied to escape a fire. The aircraft appears to have stopped without major disruption to the structure (upright with wings and tail still attached to the fuselage.)
Were they all disabled by impact forces? Did seats break loose. Did cargo come through the cockpit? What made this accident completely non-survivable?
