#2 Aeroflot's dangerous era was during and after the breakup of the USSR.

That era has long since passed.

In the 21st century and especially during the last decade, flying Aeroflot has been no more dangerous than flying American or Air France:

1985-1999
Airline.....# Safety Incidents... # Fatal crashes
American........5.................1
Air France.......6................ 2
Aeroflot........ 81..............15

2000-Nov-30-2021
Airline.....# Safety Incidents... # Fatal crashes
American ........17................1 (106 fatalities)
Air France .........6................1 (149 fatalities)
