An Aeroflot Airbus A321-200, registration VP-BJX performing flight SU-1513 from Surgut to Moscow Sheremetyevo (Russia), was enroute at FL340 about 320nm northnortheast of Ekaterinbug (Russia) when smoke emanated from a galley prompting the crew to divert to Ekaterinburg's Koltsovo Airport for a safe landing on runway 26R about 45 minutes later.

The airport reported a galley oven had failed as result of a power surge causing the smoke.

A replacement Boeing 737-800 registration VP-BMO continued the journey and reached Moscow with a delay of 6 hours.

Rosaviatsia reported the aircraft was climbing through 1500 feet out of Surgut when a water spill occurred in the forward galley as result of displacement and fall of an oven resulting in a power failure in the galley. The crew decided to divert to Ekaterinburg as result.
