230 soldiers who died during the liberation of the village from the Nazi invaders on March 22 and August 18, 1943 and died of wounds between August 1943 and May 1945 are buried. The names of 88 soldiers are known. In 1958, the remains of soldiers from different places were transferred to a mass grave, where a concrete sculpture of a soldier on a brick pedestal was installed in the same year. At the foot of the monument there is a white marble board with a memorial inscription. In 1975, reconstruction was carried out: 4 tombstones with the names of fallen soldiers were placed on the grave. On both sides of the grave there are two concrete slabs, on which 14 cast-iron boards with inscriptions and names of 364 compatriot soldiers who died during the Second World War. In 1976, the remains of 72 soldiers from the village were transferred to a mass grave. Vilshanka
