Lev Lebedinsky
Lev Lebedinsky (1904–1992) was a Soviet musicologist. He is perhaps most well known today as a friend and oft-quoted confidant of composer Dmitry Shostakovich. His part in the debate over Shostakovich's memoirs and musical intentions created a certain amount of conflict with the late composer's family after his death in 1975.
