Aron Sheinman

Aron Lvovich Sheinman (Russian: Арон Львович Шейнман) (24 December 1885 – 22 May 1944) was a Bolshevik Revolutionary and Soviet official.

Aron Sheinman was born in Suwałki in a Lithuanian Jewish family.

He was twice chairman of Gosbank, the central bank of the Soviet Union (1921–1924 and 1926–1929).

[1] In 1922 Lenin wrote him a scathing letter accusing him of being a "communist-mandarin" stating that Gosbank was "a bureaucratic paper game" suggesting that Sheinman had become blinded to the truth by being too engrossed in "the sweet communist-official lies".

In October 1939 he was recalled from London, but refused to return to the USSR.
