Not much info available on this. At first I thought it was a hoax. In the old Aeroflot days some of the fields were pretty rough so their aircraft were built to survive some pretty rough airfields. But this is a modern Airbus. Testimony to the strength of their landing gear, I guess. Not much info on why they chose to land where they did, tho.

A little chatter on the professional pilots rumor network, but not many facts:
