Picked up two great cubist pieces dating from the 1930's from Russia. I am told the artist's name is Azbuka, but could not find any information on this person. The piece is signed with the initials K.A. Medium appears to be colored pencil. The piece is approximately 11 x 14 in. (click for larger image)

Azbuka is also another name for the Cyrillic alphabet;-)
These are not from the 1930's but made to look that way. They are sold throughout Eastern Europe / Russia and are sold often on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Russian-avantgarde-cubist-drawing-/321072078569?pt=Art_Paintings&hash=item4ac1631ee9
I have purchased a few myself and do like them but they are NOT period Cubist works. p
That's an interesting comment. The seller lists these as dating from the 30's but you say otherwise. Who are we to believe? You should post more information to support your statement. The paper certainly seems very old but I have no way of knowing myself. The seller you reference is the same seller I purchased from and he has over 250 transactions with 100% positive feedback. Add more info if you have it...
