Ivan Shipov

Ivan Pavlovich Shipov (1865-1919) was an Imperial Russian Politician. After graduating from the Imperial Alexander Lyceum, he entered the Ministry of Finance. He rose to the position of Assistant Director of the Special Credit Office, and eventually Director of the General Office (Ministrial Chancellery). In addition he served on the Board of the State Bank from 1902-1905. In 1905, he was appointed Minister of Finance during the Witte government. In 1906, he left that position when Witte resigned in part due to his long association with Witte. The circumstances of his death are uncertain but seem to coinside with many politcal arrests and executions by the Bolsheviks in 1919.
