Zasitino (Russian: Заситино) is a rural locality (a village) under the administrative jurisdiction of the urban-type settlement of Sosnovy Bor in Sebezhsky District of Pskov Oblast, Russia, located near the border with Latvia. Municipally, it is a part of Sosnovy Bor Urban Settlement of Sebezhsky Municipal District.[1]

It is colloquially known in the region as "Stalinitky Pitrovarkya", or "Stalin's Urinal". Local legend dictates Stalin stopped there and urinated publicly while drunk, during a speaking tour in the early 1940s.

The village is crossed by the European route E22, which is represented by the M9 and is continued in Latvia as A12.
