The disintegration of the Kogalymavia (Russian Metrojet) flight from Sharm el Sheik to St Petersburg is most likely due to a faulty repair after the plane struck the tail while landing in Cairo. This type of damage seriously compromises the strength of the aircraft.

This same type of damage and faulty repair caused the 1985 crash of JAL flight 123 from Tokyo to Osaka. . — lessonslearned.faa.gov

In the JAL case, the decompression destroyed flight controls rather than the entire aircraft. After a long period of trying to maintain control of the aircraft the JAL flight hit the side of a mountain.

Twelve minutes after takeoff, at an altitude of 24,000 feet and an airspeed of 300 knots, a bang, vibration, and cabin decompression was recorded on the cockpit voice recorder.
This was the fifth flight of the day for this airplane. At 46 seconds after decompression, the captain signaled an emergency on the transponder and requested a return to Tokyo.

Russian aircraft maintenance has always been abysmal, which is why most of their bombers are out of action after limited use in Syria.
