From the Wikipedia article
The Cessna 208 crash near Stupino was an aviation accident that occurred on Saturday 19 November 2005. A Cessna 208B light aircraft with registration P4-OIN was operating a charter flight on the route Voronezh — Domodedovo, but during the approach to land it entered a stall and a spin, and then fell into a forest near the village of Staroye; as a result, everyone on board died in this air crash.
Crash
The crew began the descent from the flight level altitude of 3 000 m during the hours of darkness and in snowfall conditions. The aircraft, which had already been subject to ice formation, entered a zone of severe icing. The autopilot remained engaged, increasing the angle of attack in response to the decrease in speed. At an altitude of 1 500 m the crew levelled off and began a left turn to intercept the landing course. The autopilot continued to increase the pitch angle, and the indicated airspeed continued to fall. The crew at this time was busy completing the checklist and setting the aerodrome pressure on the altimeters. Soon the aircraft entered a stall and went into a spin. It then fell at high speed into a forest near the village of Stary, Stupinsky District, 35 km from the destination airport, and burned. The passengers were returning from a hunting trip in Voronezh Oblast. The aircraft officially belonged to the offshore company Evolga A.V.V. from the island of Aruba, but was used by a private individual in Russia..
A memorial cross and a granite obelisk with the names of all the dead were erected at the crash site.
