64 soldiers who died during the liberation of the village from Nazi invaders on September 12, 1943. The names of all the dead are known. In 1957, the remains of the soldiers were transferred to a mass grave, on which in the same year a reinforced concrete sculpture of a soldier was installed on a brick-lined pedestal. In 1975, to the right of the grave, a concrete stele was installed on a rubble stone base, on which 6 cast-iron boards with the names of 126 fallen soldiers-compatriots were fixed.
