For all four engines to fail it had to be a fuel problem. Either bad fuel (water in the fuel) or empty fuel tanks. I'll bet on bad fuel. The Tu-95 has been in-service with the Russians since 1956. It is the Russian equivalent to our B-52 Stratofortress that entered service in February 1955.

According to the article, "TASS news agency cited sources saying a failure of the plane's fuel valves led to the failure of all four engines."
