Soldiers who died in September 1941 during defensive battles, three airmen who died in August 1941 and soldiers who died in battles during the liberation of the village from Nazi invaders and died of wounds, as well as partisan L. Makhotina are buried. The village was finally liberated on September 7, 1943. In 1962, the remains of those buried from different places were moved to a mass grave near the club, on which a reinforced concrete sculpture of a warrior was installed in the same year. In 1981, the mass grave was moved to the entrance to the village. On the grave there is a black granite slab with the names of 7 soldiers. Near the grave there is a marble board with the names of airmen and female partisans and a sculpture of a warrior. There is a consecration inscription on the pedestal. Next to the grave, there are 10 brick slabs, on which boards with the names of 319 compatriot soldiers who died on the fronts of the Second World War are fixed.
