Volodymyr Zatonsky (Ukrainian: Володи́мир Зато́нський; Russian: Затонский, Владимир Петрович Vladimir Petrovich Zatonsky ) (July 27, 1888 – July 29, 1938) was a Soviet politician, Communist Party activist, and member of the Ukrainian SSR Academy of Sciences (since 1929).
Zatonsky was born in the village of Lysets in of Ushitsy (Ushytsia) Uyezd, Podolia Governorate, Russian Empire (now in Dunaivtsi Raion, Khmelnytskyi Oblast, Ukraine) into the family of a volost pysar.
He joined the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP) party as a Menshevik in 1905. In March 1917 he joined the Bolsheviks as the member of the Kiev Committee, later joining the Kiev revkom as well. He was one of few who initiated the organization of the Congress of the Workers-Peasants and Soldiers deputies as well as the military coup in Kiev. Zatonsky participated in the fight against the Central Rada.
When the Red Army took over Kiev in 1918 after the January Uprising, Zatonsky recalled that he only narrowly escaped execution as a counterrevolutionary when only Lenin's mandate saved his life.
