You certainly know Katyusha, a Russian wartime song which depicts a girl longing for her fighting military husband. It was first sung by female students from a Russian industrial school in Moscow to bid farewell to Russian soldiers going on the battle front against Nazi Germany.
Katyusha is diminutive from female name Ekaterina.
The song is also the source of the nickname of the BM-8, BM-13, and BM-31 'Katysuha" rocket launchers that were used by the Red Army in WWII and later for the Korean war, the Vietnam war, as well as the Iraq-Iran war. They are still used today, in the Libyan war.
