120 soldiers who died in March and September 1943 during the liberation of the village from the Nazi invaders are buried here. The village was liberated on September 14, 1943. The names of all the dead are known. In 1959, the remains of the dead from different places were transferred to a mass grave, on which a reinforced concrete sculpture of a warrior with an inscription on a pedestal was installed in the same year. In 1967, a brick stele was installed near the grave, on which three metal boards with the names of 114 compatriot soldiers who died on the fronts of the Second World War were fixed. On the left projection of the stele there is a relief image of the Order of Victory, on on the right is the Order of the Great Patriotic War.
