97 soldiers who died during the liberation of the village from the Nazi invaders on February 23 and August 18, 1943 and died of wounds in hospitals are buried. The names of 48 soldiers are known. In 1958, the remains of soldiers from different places were transferred to a mass grave, on which a concrete sculpture of a soldier on a pedestal was installed in the same year. At the foot of the monument there is a white marble board with a memorial inscription. In front of the grave, 6 cast-iron slabs with the names of the liberating soldiers and a memorial inscription are fixed on a sloping base. In 1967, a brick stele lined with concrete slabs was installed behind the mass grave, on which there are 32 concrete boards with 325 names of compatriot soldiers who died during the Second World War and a memorial text.
