Sorry for the curious , but what is the origin of the picture? I have serious doubts that this Rukhin . On the one hand, the 72nd year, it was interesting, experimental, and on the other hand, it is often repeated in his paintings the same motives. But I do not remember that he used in his paintings , " substance" , which is present in this picture , and burnt matches. ( Frozen glue, like a spit ? Rukhin was not important artist in the sense of artistic skill , but it was a very good designer. )

Also, I do not remember his paintings on cardboard, are an exception , only a couple of other early works . In addition, the vertical of his rare, but occur. In addition , it is rare painting without a signature , but also occur .

When all these factors come together rare , there is a reasonable assumption that we are dealing with a fake ... Sorry, if that.

Thank you for your response , I'm not waiting for the other .
The work comes from the same source as the Rukhin - Zverev , Yakovlev collection Sidorov , I think you know about this . This is a distant relative of Rukhin , thank God, all are alive and can confirm Nemukhin too, because the work was done in his studio. In publisher's catalog , " Avant-Garde on the Neva River " is also no doubt.

The rest, if you're interested - in PM.
