      Die Goldštajn/Goldenstein-Verwechslung -- Eine biographische Notiz zur Kom intern-Aktivität auf dem Balkan [The Goldštajn/Goldenstein mix-up -- A bio graphical note on the activity of the Comintern in the Balkans]; in:

      The Communist International's bureau in Vienna, responsible for the Balkan s, in the 1920s has several times made an appearance in the literatur e. It is often connected with a man variously called Goldštajn oder Golden stein. In fact, these are two different people, only the latter of whom c an safely be connected with the Comintern's Vienna bureau. Solomon L. Gold štajn (1884-1968) was a well-known Bulgarian communist, who had been qui te close to Lenin in Paris and Zurich, but later had problems with Stali n.
      Ephraim Goldenstein (1882-?) had been born in Kishinev, studied medici ne in Berlin and Vienna, and received his doctorate (with a dissertati on on gynaecology) from Munich University in 1911. In 1923 he reappea rs in Vienna, first as an envoy of the Russian Red Cross, then as second s ecretary of the Soviet Union's embassy. In 1925 he left Vienna and may ha ve been in Constantinople for some time. He re-enters the picture in Berl in in 1927, again as second secretary of the Soviet Union's embassy ther e. Yet, his activities for the Comintern and, presumably, for the GPU ca me to the notice of several diplomats, so he left in early 1930, shortly b efore G. S. Agabekov's memoirs hit the bookstores: there, Goldenstein is d escribed as GPU "resident" in Berlin, to whom the "resident" in Paris a nd the Soviet agents in Great Britain were subordinated and who still cont inued to concern himself with the Balkans and the Middle East. Nothing cer tain is known about Goldenstein's life after 1930.
      The article is based on documents in archives in Vienna, Munich and Bon n, as well as mostly contemporary publications in various languages.
