Boris Shimeliovich

Boris Abramovich Shimeliovich (Russian: Борис Абрамович Шимелиович, 1892 – 1952) was the medical director of Moscow's Botkin Hospital [ru], a well known and widely respected institution.

He was so severely beaten during the interrogations that he had to be carried on a stretcher into the court three years after.

On November 22, 1955 (well after Joseph Stalin's death in 1953), military collegium of the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union withdrew the indictments against the JAC members due to the lack of evidence.

Shimeliovich's Communist Party of the Soviet Union membership was restored only in 1988.

His brother was Iulius Shimeliovich [ru] (1890-1919), a former member of Bund turned Bolshevik revolutionary.
