The village was liberated on September 19, 1943. In 1948, the remains of the dead from different places were transferred to a mass grave, on which a concrete sculpture of a warrior was installed in 1956. A memorial was built in 1976. On the mass grave of Soviet soldiers, three concrete slabs with the names of the fallen soldiers have been installed. Behind the graves on an earthen hill, a reinforced concrete pylon was built, in the upper part of which the dates "1941 - 1945" are written. At the base of the hill, a semi-circular concrete slab has been installed. In the central part of the stele there is a high-relief image of three soldiers: a tankman, an infantryman and an aviator and 10 concrete boards on which the names of 182 compatriot soldiers who died in the years of the Second World War 1941 - 45 are engraved. There are memorial inscriptions on the left and right of the stele.
