63 soldiers who died fighting for the liberation of the village from the Nazi invaders on September 9, 1943 and died of wounds are buried here. The names of 26 soldiers are known. In 1957, the remains of those buried from different places were transferred to a mass grave, on which a sculpture of a warrior was installed in the same year. In 1981, a new reinforced concrete sculpture of a warrior was built on the earthen hill. At the foot of the hill at an angle, nine gray granite slabs with a memorial inscription and the names of 156 compatriot soldiers who died during the Second World War have been installed. On the tombstone there is a memorial inscription and the names of 14 fallen soldiers.
