The village was liberated on September 8, 1943. The names of all the dead are known. In 1954, the remains of the dead from different places were transferred to a mass grave, on which a reinforced concrete sculpture of a warrior was installed in the same year. In 1981, a memorial complex was built. A granite slab with an inscription and the names of the fallen soldiers is installed on the grave. Behind the grave is a reinforced concrete sculptural group of 2 warriors with a flag on a brick plinth. In the same year, a commemorative sign was erected in honor of compatriot soldiers. There are 6 gray granite slabs on concrete bases with the names of the fallen compatriots and a memorial inscription engraved on them. In front of the mass grave there is a rosette of the Eternal Flame in the form of a five-pointed star.
