From the Wikipedia article
The ANT-9 crash near Naro-Fominsk was an aviation accident involving an ANT-9 aircraft that occurred in Naro-Fominsky District of Moscow Oblast on Sunday 12 July 1931.
Crash
The aircraft was carrying a military commission headed by the deputy chief of staff of the Red Army V. K. Triandafillov, and was flown by the experienced pilot S. T. Rybalchuk. It was early morning and there was fog, but Rybalchuk decided to fly in such weather (according to some data, out of vanity). The flight took place at low altitude. In the area of Alabino platform the aircraft clipped trees, after which it fell to the ground and broke up, and all the people on board — 3 passengers and 5 crew members — were killed.
