Boris Emmanuilovich Goldstein (25 December 1922 – 8 November 1987, known by the diminutive Busya) was a Soviet violinist whose career was greatly hindered by the political situation in the USSR. As a young prodigy, he started violin studies in Odessa with the eminent pedagogue, Pyotr Stolyarsky and continued them in Moscow Conservatory under Abram Yampolsky and Lev Tseitlin. As a teenager, Boris Goldstein was singled out by Heifetz as being USSR's most brilliant violin talent. His brother was the violinist and composer Mikhail Goldstein. His great uncle was the physicist Eugen Goldstein.
