Hi -
your cigarette case is authentic! It is not Russian, it is Sovietic (USSR), made by АМЮ4 = Артелъ "МОСКОВСКИЙ ЮВЕЛИР" = Artel (cooperative) Moscow Jewellers. In use 1954-1960. 4 is the date = 1954. Silver content: 875/1000
I can not read the letter left of the Rabotnic (worker´s head) - it should be the Greek letter "delta" - maybe you send a clearer photo. The pushbutton on the thumbpiece is a cabochon made of red enamel (glass). The case is in very good condition, the motiv "Mountain climber" is well known, I think it is in Caucasus - in the background Elbrus, in the foreground Ananas.
