Three Soviet soldiers who died during the liberation of the village from the Nazi invaders on September 13, 1943 are buried here. The name of one soldier is known. In 1953, the remains of the dead from different places were transferred to a mass grave, on which a reinforced concrete sculpture of a warrior was installed in the same year. There is a memorial inscription on the front side of the brick pedestal. In 1971, to the right of the mass grave, a commemorative sign was erected in honor of the compatriot soldier Danchenko Arsenty Mykolayovych (1918 - 43), who died during the Second World War. On the front side of the vertical stele made of small marble, there is a board with an inscription, an oval photo, and a star.
