However, airlines can get "thrust reverser credit" for operative reverse when calculating certain distances under certain conditions;
Any credit for reverse is covered by the certification requirements - CS 25 or FAR 25.125
Means other than wheel brakes may be used if …
(i) Is safe and reliable;
(ii) Is used so that consistent results can be expected in service; and
(iii) Is such that exceptional skill is not required to control the aeroplane.

However, where reverse is included in contaminated data CS (AMC) 25.1591 7.4.3. (not in FAR) “
Performance information may include credit for reverse thrust where available and controllable”, the exposure to the higher risk is assumed to be balanced by operational caution, and by minimizing the number of landings, e.g. CS AMC 25.1591 8.1
“8.1.1 Operation on runways contaminated with water, slush, snow, ice or other contaminants implies uncertainties with regard to runway friction and contaminant drag and therefore to the achievable performance and control of the aeroplane during take-off, since the actual conditions may not completely match the assumptions on which the performance information is based. Where possible, every effort should be made to ensure that the runway surface is cleared of any significant contamination.”

The NTSB has lobbied the FAA to prohibit using TR credit for 121 operations. Does anybody know what happened to this recommendation? AFAIK it did not become part of the regs.

I believe this may have been it;
FAA changes landing distance rules for commercial operators | Aviation International News
A key part taken;
If weather conditions change en route, pilots will have to recalculate the actual landing distance needed, based on runway conditions and use of available equipment such as thrust reversers and spoilers

In EASA-land (so most of Europe), airlines can not factor in thrust reverse. I have no clue how it works in Russia.
Apart from that, the lack of thrust reverse alone shouldn't lead to a high-speed overrun on a 10,000ft runway, keeping in mind that the TU-204 is a medium airliner, roughly the size of a 757 or A321. Much more must have gone wrong.

Looks similar to a bizjet accident here. Lear 60 blew a tire on t/o, tried to abort after v1 and slid thru the localizer antennae, fence and across the perimeter road. 4 fatal, 2 serious.
Not saying that's what happened here, just that the resting (RIP) place of the a/c looks eerily familiar.
