19 soldiers who died during the liberation of the village from the German-Nazi invaders on September 5, 1943 are buried. The names of all the dead are known. In 1951, an obelisk was installed on the grave, replaced in 1962 by a concrete sculpture of a warrior with a memorial inscription on a brick pedestal. In 1968, 2 cemented brick slabs were installed on both sides of the grave, on which 16 cast-iron plates with the names of 248 compatriot soldiers who died during the Second World War were placed.
