Oleksandra Tymofiivna Sokolovska (Ukrainian: Олександра Тимофіївна Соколовська), commonly known by her nom de guerre Marusya Sokolovska, was a Ukrainian insurgent otaman. Following the deaths of her brothers in the Ukrainian War of Independence, at the age of 16 the young Oleksandra took the name "Marusya" and commanded a cossack detachment against both the Red and White Armies in Polissya and Podilia. As various accounts of her death exist, it is uncertain when or even if she died during the war. She has since developed a legacy within Ukrainian folk history as a quasi-legendary freedom fighter.
