The Emergency Situations Ministry said 53 people were being treated in the hospital after the Airbus A-310 crashed on landing in the city of Irkutsk.
The owner of the plane, S7, formerly Sibir Airlines, said in a statement that 192 passengers and eight crewmembers were on board, but a spokesman for Moscow's Domodedovo airport, where the aircraft took off, said there were 193 passengers and nine crew.
President Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences to the families and friends of all those who died, the Kremlin press service said.
"The president of Russia expresses his deepest condolences to the families and friends of those people who were killed in the Irkutsk plane crash," the press service said in a statement.
Irkutsk, 5,000 kilometers (3,100 miles) east of Moscow, is the main airport for holidaymakers heading for Lake Baikal, a popular destination for Russians in the summer.
Prosecutors and aviation officials are investigating the cause of the crash.
Transportation Minister Igor Levitin, who has been appointed the head of a government commission into the tragedy, said the runway was wet after rain, but an official from the Emergency Situations Ministry said the landing gear may have caught fire as the plane landed.
On May 3, an Armenian A-320 crashed in the Black Sea killing all 113 people on board.
In 2001, a Russian-made airliner crashed near Irkutsk with the loss of all 145 passengers and crew
