6 unknown Soviet soldiers who died in September 1943 during the liberation of the village from the Nazi invaders, when the village was in the war zone, are buried. In 1969, a reinforced concrete sculpture of a warrior on a brick pedestal covered with ceramic tiles was installed on the grave. In 1970, concrete slabs were installed on both sides of the sculpture with an inscription and the names of fallen soldiers-compatriots.
