Avksion, killed in 1920; 57 Soviet soldiers who died in September 1941 during defensive battles for the village are buried in the second mass grave and soldiers who died in the battles for the liberation of the village from the Nazi invaders on September 7-8, 1943. The village was liberated on September 8, 1943. The names of 44 soldiers are known.
