Drawing : "russian Church Under Snow" 1930

I continue to explore my cartons in the back of the shop and regularly discover small wonders such as this Russian church under the snow ...
The artist used the white paper in reserve for snow, the charcoal is used for the reliefs and the shadows, light heightenings of red and yellow pastel in the sky contribute to the cozy atmosphere of the stage.
Signed and dated 1930, but the Artist, obviously more used to Cyrillic, tried to transcribe in Latin characters his name, maybe Krukev ?
Drawn on a sheet 41 X 31 cm, 28.5 X 26 line, several greasy spots, curled leaf and riddled with tiny bites, but little annoying.
