The Russian defence ministry said the strategic bomber had crashed in Russia's southern Stavropol region, hundreds of kilometres from Ukrainian-controlled territory, as it returned to base after carrying out a combat mission.
It said the crash appeared to have been caused by a technical malfunction.
The Russian regional governor said the pilots had ejected, but that one of them had died.
