In 1961, a reinforced concrete sculpture of a warrior was installed on a rectangular brick plinth at the mass grave. On the front side of the pedestal there is a bas-relief image of the Order of the Patriotic War and a cast-iron board with the dates "1941 - 1945". Adjacent to the pedestal on the right side is a concrete horizontal stele, on which three cast-iron boards with a memorial inscription and the names of the fallen soldiers are fixed.
