Who is Fibinshtein?

[Max Rosochynsky]

Teffi probably refers to Митька *Р*убинштейн -- "известный
петербургский банкир,
аферист, масон"...

"Летом 1916 года был арестован военным властями по обвинению в
государственной измене -- сотрудничестве с немцами. Поводом для этого стали
его сомнительные финансовые операции по учёту векселей Немецкого банка в
Берлине"...
Rubinshtein spent five months in prison and then he was released due to
lack of evidence.
Here is a wiki entry with more info
<http://traditio-ru.org/wiki/%D0%94%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%9B%D0%B5%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87_%D0%A0%D1%83%D0%B1%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%88%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%B9%D0%BD>about
who Rubinshtein was.

I hope this helps!

Best wishes,

Max
