Yuriy Kotsiubynsky (Ukrainian: Юрій Михайлович Коцюбинський) (December 7, 1896 – March 8, 1937) was a Bolshevik politician, activist, member of the Soviet government in Ukraine, one of the co-founders of Red Cossacks Army of Ukrainian Republic. Kotsiubynsky can be classified as a red cossack.
Yuriy, like his father Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky, was born in Vinnytsia, Podolia Governorate. He studied in the Chernihiv Gymnasium. In 1913, Yuriy joined the Bolsheviks and in 1916 was mobilized to the Russian Imperial Army. Later he studied in school of praporshchiks in Odessa and serving in Petrograd. In the capital Kotsiubynsky led an anti-war agitation among soldiers for which he was arrested on several occasions by the Provisional Government. There he also became a member of a military organization at the Petrograd Committee of Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (Bolshevik), a commissar of Semenovsky Guard Reserve Regiment, the Chief of Red Guard and commandant of the Moscow-Narva region (Petrograd).
With his future brother-in-law Vitaly Primakov Kotsiubynsky took active participation in storming of the Winter Palace during the October Revolution. Later he headed the Red Guard detachment of Moscow-Narva Distinct (Saint-Petersburg) against the forces of Kerensky - Krasnov, being also the commandant of the mentioned district. In December 1917 he became a deputy of People's Secretary of Military Affairs and later was acting as the Secretary. In January 1918 he became the Chief of Staff of the Soviet Ukrainian People's Republic and chairman of military collegiate, nominally heading the army of the Petrograd Red Guards and Baltic Sailors in the fight against the national forces of the Ukrainian People's Republic occupying Kiev in February 1918. In reality the army was led by Muraviov who was subordinated to Vladimir Antonov-Ovseyenko.
