From the Wikipedia article
Aeroflot Flight 2230 was a Soviet domestic passenger flight from Yekaterinburg (then Sverdlovsk) to Tashkent. On 16 November 1967, the Ilyushin Il-18 aircraft serving the flight crashed after takeoff, killing all 107 people aboard (including twelve children). At the time, it was the deadliest aviation accident in the Russian SFSR and the worst accident involving the Il-18.
Accident
Shortly after takeoff from Sverdlovsk, now called Ekaterinburg, Koltsovo Airport an engine caught fire and its propeller could not be feathered. Maneuverability at maximum takeoff weight with a propeller causing drag was difficult. The crew lost control at a height of 200 m while climbing at a speed of 340 - 350 km/h at an altitude of 140 – 150 m. The Il-18 crashed into a plowed field at a 37 degrees right bank at a speed of 440 km/h at 21:02 local time. The aircraft completely disintegrated, complicating the subsequent accident investigation. There were also fire outbreaks at the crash site.
