96 soldiers who died during the liberation of the village from the Nazi invaders on September 9, 1943 are buried. The names of 91 dead people are known. In 1950, the remains of the dead from different places were transferred to a mass grave, on which a sculpture of a warrior was installed in 1959. In 1954, reconstruction was carried out and a memorial was erected. A tombstone with a memorial inscription and the names of the fallen soldiers is placed on the grave. Behind the grave is a reinforced concrete sculpture of a warrior on a brick pedestal, to the left of it there are 9 concrete bases on which are fixed memorial plaques with the names of 378 compatriot soldiers who died on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War.
