Bogolep of Chorny Yar, born Boris Yakovlevich Ushakov, was a Russian Orthodox child schema-monk who lived during the mid-17th century. Born into the influential Ushakov family in Moscow, he was the son of the boyar Yakov Lukich Ushakov. Following his father's appointment as voyevoda of Chorny Yar, the young boy sought a religious life to address his chronic illnesses. He was tonsured as a monk under the name Bogolep, after expressing a desire to follow the monastic path, and died shortly after receiving the veil.
