Katyusha
Katusha or Katyusha is the English transliteration of the Russian word Катюша, a diminutive or pet name form of the name Екатери́на/Екатерина (transliterated Ekaterina/Yekaterina), the Russian form of Katherine/Catherine. Katusha/Katyusha is a diminutive of Ка́тя (Kátja/Katya), in turn diminutive of Екатери́на/Ekaterina. (Another diminutive of Ekaterina is Katinka.) Thus these diminutive forms are roughly analogous to the English names Kathy or Katie. Katusha or Katyusha may refer to:
- Katyusha (song), a Russian wartime song about a girl longing for her beloved
- Katyusha rocket launcher, Soviet rocket launcher of World War II, named after the song
- Tupolev SB, Soviet medium bomber of World War II
