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 was eventually Director of the General Office (Ministerial 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, due in part to his long association with Witte.

The circumstances of Shipov's death are uncertain, but seem to coincide with many political arrests and executions by the Bolsheviks in 1919.
