I found this – an article over a month old now – but it seems like the incident has been mostly put together. What caused the controls failure is still unresolved but the SSJs instrumentation seems to have done its job in providing warnings to the pilot and the plane is actually built pretty tough. There’s definitely flight crew errors involved in this crash.

So it doesn’t look like a MAX disaster for Sukhoi, but at the same time SCAC can’t weather things the way Boeing can.
