6 Soviet partisans who died on June 21, 1942 during the battle with the German-Nazi occupiers are buried. In 1943, the remains of the fallen partisans were transferred to a mass grave. An obelisk made of small marble is installed near the grave. On its front side there are two memorial plaques with inscriptions. In 1967, a reinforced concrete sculpture of a warrior was installed on the grave. In 1980, reconstruction was carried out: the warrior sculpture was dismantled. Behind the obelisk is a reinforced concrete sculptural group of a warrior and a wounded soldier on a rectangular brick plastered pedestal. On the front side of the pedestal there is a bas-relief image of the Order of the Patriotic War, below is a plate with an inscription. Between the relief dates "1941 - 1945" there is a board with an inscription. On the three sides of the pedestal, 25 metal boards with the names of 208 compatriot soldiers who died during the Second World War are fixed. Behind the sculptural group on both sides are two concrete rectangular stelae. On the left is a board with an inscription. Below are the names of 16 compatriots who died during the civil war. On the right there is a relief inscription.
