During the operation, 19 bodies were found and identified. In addition, more than 200 fragments of the bodies of the victims were sent to special laboratories.
It is known that all the “black boxes” of the Russian Defense Ministry aircraft were raised from the bottom of the sea. Despite this, the official results of the investigation into the causes of the crash have not yet been presented. Moreover, the Investigation Committee stated that the investigation would be extended again - to "conduct complex examinations". Reports about it "Russian newspaper".
Earlier in the press appeared all sorts of versions, among which were these:

Today in Sochi on the Black Sea coast will be held an action in memory of the victims of that tragedy.
