He was one of the originators of the volkist movement, which eventually turned into the Folkspartei (Jewish People's Party).

In 2007, Zemach Shabad was honored with a monument in Vilnius, reflecting the fact that he was the prototype of Doctor Aybolit, a good doctor from a poem for children by Korney Chukovsky.
