Bogorad Samuil Nakhmanovich (also known as Semyon Naumovich) (1907, Vitebsk – 23 April 1996, Riga) – Soviet submariner, Hero of the Soviet Union.
Samuil Bogorad was born into a working-class Jewish family. In 1935, he graduated from the Leningrad Maritime Technical School. Until August 1940, he served as third and later second mate on ships of the Baltic Sea Shipping Company. In 1940, he was conscripted into the Soviet Navy and trained with the Submarine Training Detachment. In 1941, he completed the Advanced Special Command Courses in Submarine Navigation at the Red Banner Submarine Training Detachment named after S. Kirov.
Samuil Bogorad took part in the Second World War. In June 1941, he was appointed executive officer of the submarine D-2 of the Baltic Fleet. In September 1942, D-2 sank the transport ship Jakobus Fritzen and inflicted serious damage on the railway ferry Deutschland. In March 1944, he was appointed commander of the submarine Shch-310 (3rd Division, Baltic Fleet Submarine Brigade), which he commanded until the end of the war. Under Bogorad's command, Shch-310 completed three combat patrols, during which it sank or damaged eight enemy vessels. In March 1945, the Shch-310 was awarded the Order of the Red Banner, and by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of 8 July 1945, for exemplary performance of combat missions, personal bravery, and heroism shown in battles against the Nazi invaders, Captain 3rd Rank Bogorad was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, along with the Order of Lenin and the Gold Star medal.
After the war, Bogorad continued to serve in the Soviet Navy. From 1945 to 1948, he commanded the submarine K-56, and until February 1950, the submarine N-28. From November 1952 to October 1959, he commanded a separate division of naval test range ships. On 26 May 1955, he was promoted to the rank of Captain 1st Rank. From October 1959, he served as Head of Auxiliary Vessels of the Riga Naval Base of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet. In March 1961, he was honourably discharged due to length of service.
Bogorad resided in Riga. From 1961 to 1976, he worked as chief mate and later captain on vessels of the Latvian Sea Shipping Company.
