Private F. Sokolovsky, an active fighter for Soviet power, who died in 1918 at the hands of the Austro-German invaders, is buried here. In the same grave are buried 10 Soviet soldiers who died during the liberation of the village from the Nazi invaders on September 17, 1943. In 1968, the remains of the dead from different places were transferred to a mass grave, on which a reinforced concrete sculpture of a woman on a brick pedestal was installed in the same year. In 1975, the monument was reconstructed. A brick plastered stele with an inscription and the names of 81 fallen soldiers-compatriots is installed on the front side of the pedestal at an angle. A vertical stele made of the same material adjoins the pedestal on the right side.
