Veniamin Iossifowitsch Fleishman, (Russian: Вениами́н Ио́сифович Фле́йшман, July 20, 1913, Bezhetsk, Tver Oblast – September 14, 1941, Krasnoye Selo, Leningrad Oblast) was a Russian composer. While studying under Dmitri Shostakovich at the Leningrad Conservatory (1939-1941), he began a one-act opera Rothschild's Violin based on Anton Chekhov’s short story about Bronza, a Russian country coffin-maker and violinist, and his combative relationship with the Jewish musicians in his village. <a href=
