Doctor Aybolit (whose name can be translated as “Ouch, it hurts!”) is a fictional character from the children’s books by Korney Chukovsky. His living prototype was Chukovsky’s friend, a Jewish doctor Zemach Shabad who lived in Vilnius. He was a kind man who never turned down a patient, treated the poor for free and was adored by children who sometimes came to him with their pets or hurt animals found in the street. In 2007 he was honored with this monument in the street where he was born.
