Soldiers who died during the liberation of the village from the Nazi invaders on September 2, 1943 and died of wounds in hospitals are buried. The number of buried soldiers is not known. The names of 16 soldiers are known. In 1957, the remains of soldiers from the side of the Bilopol highway were moved to a mass grave, on which in the same year a concrete sculpture of a soldier was installed, and at an angle, a tombstone made of pink granite with the names of the liberating soldiers. On the front side of the pedestal there is a bas-relief image of the Order of the Patriotic War and the date "1941 -1945". In 1983, 35 plates with 285 names of compatriot soldiers who died during the Second World War were installed behind the grave on a concrete base lined with pink granite tiles to the left and right of the grave at an angle. Reconstruction was carried out in 2005. A slab of black labradorite with a memorial inscription and 14 names of liberating soldiers is placed on the grave. Instead of 35 slabs on the right and left of the grave, on 2 concrete foundations covered with red granite slabs, 2 slabs of black labradorite with 63 surnames of compatriot soldiers who died during the Second World War are placed.
