Private L. Yakut and two unknown Soviet soldiers who died on September 7, 1943 during the liberation of the village from the Nazi invaders are buried here. In 1956, the remains of fallen soldiers from different places were transferred to a mass grave, on which a sculpture of a warrior was installed in the same year. In 1987, the warrior sculpture was replaced by a reinforced concrete sculptural group of a warrior and a girl on a brick pedestal. On both sides of the sculptural group, concrete bases with granite memorial slabs are installed, on which 57 surnames of compatriot soldiers are engraved who died during the Great Patriotic War.
