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.
Born in Riga, he was an active revolutionary who participated in the Russian Civil War and eventually became active in Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee (JAC). Shimeliovich was arrested on January 13, 1949, for espionage. He was so severely beaten during the interrogations that he had to be carried on a stretcher into the court three years after. He was executed in August 1952 together with other members of JAC, which became known as the Night of the Murdered Poets.
