Ruderman first gained fame in the [[Soviet Union]] in 1988 for his reporting on attempts by the [[Communist Party of Belorussia|communist authorities of BSSR]] to play down the [[centennial]] celebration of the [[Jew]]ish [[painting|painter]] [[Marc Chagall]]. Ruderman went on to direct several documentaries about the underside of the Soviet Union. His work won him accolades at the 1988 and 1989 [[Cinema of the Soviet Union|Soviet film festivals]]. In November 1988 Ruderman was the first Russian TV journalist to interview [[Alexander Dubček]], the former leader of [[Czechoslovakia]] who was deposed by Soviet forces after the [[Prague Spring]] uprising of 1968.<ref name=rfe>{{

In September 1992 Ruderman traveled to [[Tajikistan]] to film a documentary for [[Channel One (Russia)|Ostankino]] about [[Davlat Khudonazarov]], a fellow filmmaker and opposition candidate in the [[Tajikistani presidential election, 1991|1991 Tajikistani presidential elections]]. At the time the [[Civil war in Tajikistan]] was raging and journalists had become the target of murder. On 22 September 1992 Ruderman was killed while traveling by car along the road from [[Nurek Dam]] to the capital [[Dushanbe]], an area that at the time was experiencing heavy fighting between government and opposition forces. The government ruled Ruderman's death a vehicular accident, but the circumstances surrounding his death continue to be questioned and the [[Center for Journalism in Extreme Situations]] suspects he may be one of the journalists murdered in Tajikistan.<ref name=cjes2>{{
