Katyusha
Katyusha (Russian: Катюша) is a Russian wartime song composed by Matey Blanter with lyrics from Mikhail Isakovsky during the Second World War. The song depicts a girl longing for her beloved husband who is off on military service.
Katyusha is a tender diminutive from the female name Ekaterina (Catherine): Katya is the nickname and Katyusha, a tender diminutive.
The Russian song also gave name to the BM-8, BM-13, and BM-31 “Katyusha” rocket launchers that were built and fielded by the Red Army in World War II.
