Soviet activists killed during collectivization in the village are buried. In the same grave are buried six Soviet soldiers who died during the liberation of the village from the German-Nazi invaders on September 3, 1943. Anton Mykolayovych Kostenko is among the buried - Hero of the Soviet Union (October 16, 1943, posthumously). At the beginning of September 1943, Captain A. Kostenko penetrated into the rear of the enemy with a group of scouts and seized a staff car with enemy officers. He was mortally wounded in battle. Died of wounds. In 1957, the remains of the dead from different places were transferred to a mass grave, on which in the same year a reinforced concrete sculpture of a warrior on a brick pedestal was installed. On the front side of the pedestal there is a board with an inscription. In 1971, two brick stelae were installed on both sides of the sculpture, on which 13 white marble boards were attached, one with the names of the fallen activists of the village, and the other with the names of 198 fallen soldiers-compatriots. Near the stele on the right, there is a reinforced concrete sculpture of a grieving mother on a pedestal, on the left there is a rectangular pedestal with an inscription.
