The location here is Sheremetyevo International Airport where the airline crashed but the precise location needs to be found.

Aeroflot Flight 217

Aeroflot Flight 217 was a non-scheduled international passenger flight from Paris-Orly Airport to Sheremetyevo International Airport in Moscow, with a stopover at the Pulkovo Airport (at the time called Shosseynaya Airport) in Saint Petersburg (at the time called Leningrad). On 13 October 1972, the Ilyushin Il-62 crashed on approach to Sheremetyevo, with the loss of all 164 passengers and crew of 10. At the time, it was the world's worst aviation disaster.
