176 Radian soldiers were laid to rest, among them the soldiers who died in the spring of 1941 during the defensive battles for the village and who died on the 10th of June 1943 in the hour of the liberation of the village from the Nazi prisons. Here are the nicknames of the 23 dead. In 1955, a reinforced concrete sculpture of a woman on a solid pedestal was installed on the grave. On the slab near the grave there are inscriptions of the names of the fallen liberating warriors. In 1978, next to the mass grave, a concrete sculptural group of a woman and a boy was installed on a solid pedestal. In front of the sculptural group on a concrete base, 10 slabs with a memorial inscription and nicknames of 206 fellow countrymen who died on the fronts of the Other World War are fixed under it.
