Should be RA-01300 as that is the only one flying in Russia.
Haven't seen this being reported on other news sites yet.

Oh dear. I don't know one word of Dutch but from what I can make out there were several fatalaties. Very sad.

en was het enige nog werkende exemplaar van zijn type in de gehele wereld.

Does this mean it was the only airworthy example in the whole world?

A little bit of misinformation on their side... there is another one (HA-LIX, you need to know the details to tell this one isn't a DC-3/C-47) flying at the moment, but this one (FLA)RA-01300K has the reputation of being the most original one with the russian style cowlings.
