Nina Ivanovna Sosnina (Russian: Нина Ивановна Соснина, Ukrainian: Ніна Сосніна Іванівна; 30 November 1923 – 31 August 1943) was the leader of an underground Komsomol cell in Malyn during the Second World War.

Ivan Sosnin, her father, who was born in Siberia, was a doctor who had gone to medical school in Kiev after traveling to Australia, France, and Italy over a span of two years.

[2] After Pavel Taraskin, a senior Lieutenant of the Red Army, escaped from the prisoner-of-war camp that he was held in, he was appointed to be the leader of the Malyn underground District Party Committee.

After his arm developed gangrene, requiring amputation, in the village of Pirishki, he was sent to the house of a schoolteacher who was sympathetic to the partisans, where Dr. Sosnin would soon arrive to operate; Nina Sosnina accompanied him.

However, a truckload of German soldiers encircled the house only an hour later and a standoff ensued, with Sosnina firing a machine gun and throwing grenades out the window.
