Joe Fineberg (1886–1957) was a prominent translator for the Communist International.
He produced English translations of works by Alexander Bogdanov, Nikolay Dobrolyubov, Ilya Ehrenburg, Vladimir Lenin, Boris Polevoy, Leo Tolstoy and others.
[1][2] Fineberg was born in Poland but it was while in London that he became active in the Jewish Social Democratic Organisation, a section of the British Socialist Party (BSP) for Jews based in London's East End.
Although living in Hackney, he was secretary of the Stepney BSP branch.
[3] In July 1918, Fineberg moved to post-revolutionary Russia of his own volition, at a time when many of his comrades were being deported.
